Jake is getting so big

[ashleycat]

see, when they told me he was 8 weeks, I thought he looked a lil bit big to me. I googled 8 week old kitties to see how big they looked in pics, they were half the size of Jake. I kept thinking they are aging him wrong. The vet said they look at his teeth.

So now at 4 months he's already 6 1/2 lbs. Ashley is 8 yrs and 8 lbs.

How big do you think he is going to get?

He needs another photoshoot

You can generally tell by the paws.
If Jake has big paws then hes going to grow into them.
Thats weight sounds as though you are going to have a Little Giant Cat on your hands.
CONCATULATIONS!!!

He's got big paws for being as young as he is.

Loki was the sae way! he had big paws and Big ears, and boy has he grown into them! he is 7 months old, and weighs aprox.7-8lbs. He is also Very Long, but slim! Crazy cats! I have never had a cat weigh more than 6-7 lbs, full grown!

Jakes ears remind me of a siamese, they are taller than Ashley's. Maybe he isn't birman mix, maybe he really is snowshoe saimese he does get into mischeif like one lol. But I love him anyways. I LOVE big cats.

Tho, they only time he is affectionate is at night when we are trying to go to bed. Or if I wake him from his sleep. Other than that he doesn't want to be touched, just played with. He'll grow out of that right? I mean, it would be nice to have a cuddly cat!! lol.

Also, his fur isn't so soft anymore. I posted a couple weeks ago how soft it was.. I think he just shed the nice stuff.
