Average Size of a 5 Month Old Male Kitten?

The average 5 month old kitten weighs approximately 5 to 6 pounds. It varies quite a bit depending on the kitten's genetics, nutritional status, overall growth rate (a kitten may be big yet further along in its development so have less growing left).

To find information on growth rates of larger cats try looking for information on Maine Coon kittens.

I Googled and found this site with a chart:

Average Size of a 5 Month Old Male Kitten?

Hello all! My DMH Male kitten will be 5 months old next Friday and he is already a big boy! He weighs about 7.5 lbs and is already as big as my neighbor's full grown cat. According to my vet he is purr-fectly healthy and is not over weight but was very suprized when I told him he was only just...

3 Month Old Kitten Size

Average size cats are about a pound per month of age up to the first 9-10 months of age. So if he's not overweight, then he will probably end up a good 14-16 lb boy at 2 yrs old. Be sure he's neutered now if he's not done.

He sounds like his mom's a Maine Coon and his dad's a black cat of some sort. Maine Coon's are a fairly large breed. As long as you can still feel his ribs under a layer of fat, he doesn't become very round when he lies down (overweight cats' bellies will expand by a few inches to be round, almost circular, when they lie down due to all their fat), and he doesn't have an abdominal tuck, he should be healthy. The abdominal tuck is a sign of being underweight. If his paws are large, that's a good sign that it's normal for him to be large as well. Just be sure that you feed him good cat food. Right now you should be feeding him food specialized for kittens that has main ingredients of meat (not byproducts) and avoid food with corn in it. If you're worried about him getting big, just only feed him meals (rather than leaving the food out for him to snack on), and keep treats to 10% or less of his total diet. He sounds like a perfectly healthy cat to me.

Yes thats fine. The vet said my 4 month old male kitten weighed 6 pounds. He said if i didnt know his birthdate, hed have guessed he was 1 1/2 to 2 months older. He said hes healthy & a big boy. Hes a regular short haired cat. Hes very active & lean - just big. His mom is a regular sized female but i dont know what his dad is.

I have 3 cats and the "baby" is about twice the size of the 3 year olds. The baby is about 1 1/2 years old and weights about 16 lbs. He is by no means overweight, he's just a really big boy. I knew he was going to be a big cat because his paws were enormous (they still are). I'm pretty sure he's part Maine Coon. We call him our "Bob Cat"

I had a big old orange cat who was enormous,everyone commented on how big he was,people would drive passed and stop to look at my cat.When he was a kitten he was very sick and the vet wanted to put him down,i refused i had fallen for him hook line and sinker.So he lived for another 11 odd years and became a Legend in my street.He was know as the big old orange cat that ruled the street with an iron paw.He was my gentle giant.He would wait for the kids walking home from school,and greet them all,on their way home,he was much loved.Just because your cat is big does not make him prone to anything in particular.Just love him as he is and take life one day at a time.Good luck.

He sounds ginormous! That's not a bad thing :)

Right now I have two kittens who will be 4 months old next week, and they each weigh less than 5lbs, and were pronounced "purrfect" at their rabies shot appt.

My brother had an ENORMOUS cat who, at 22 lbs, was pronounced "slightly underweight" by his vet! Phil's sibling was a perfectly normal 10lb little girl. Some cats are just huge!

Average weight is 5 pounds. So if he's not chubby, he's a big kitten for his age :)
