My cat is around 10 months old by everyone's best guess. I have always heard that they were supposed gain about a pound a month but I'm not sure how long that rule lasts, lol. She weighs 8.2 lbs according to my bathroom scale. Everyone always tells me she looks thin but I think she's just got long legs. She's a little lanky looking, but she is by no means thin. She's got free choice food but is very active when she's not napping haha! Anyway, I was just wondering if that sounds about right. She's a DSH, no clue on her background, she was found under a porch. Her brothers were bigger than her when I got her, and one was a long hair.... Other than that I don't know anything.
