Large vs Small!

My cat is growing bigger, but he still looks small I guess because he is so active all the time, I have seen a lot of big cats online and wonder how they get so big. I love my cat though he may be skinny, but he is a big eater and is always getting into our food when we eat, oh and he loves mountain dew for some strange reason.

My uncle used to have a housecat who was two years old and was the size of a 3 0r 4 month old kitten. I think he must have had a defect also. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and is kind of big. No one would ever accuse him of being a mutation.

Hi Crafty, I checked a few sites and found that the largest domestic cat is known as the Ragdoll. Never heard of this breed before, but they named it ragdoll because it goes limp when you pick it up, lol. The articles also stated that they average 30 to 35 lbs. The smallest recorded domestic cat is called the Singapura, ranging 3 to 6 lbs. This cat was brought to the U.S. in 1970. I have a Burmese and he is very small boned and light as a feather. He makes up for that in volume. When he talks(whines), he sounds like granny from the t.v. show The Beverly Hillbillies.

Wow...talk about a difference. I'd love to see pics of these too. Thanks for sharing. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

I've heard of Mr. Peebles, he lives in a vet clinic I believe. I've had/known a couple of cats that never got bigger then 6 month old kittens. Jellibaby was 11 yrs old, dying of kidney failure and someone at the vet asked how old my kitten was.... If you really know the difference between a kitten and an adult you could tell the difference, but she was petite and cute.
