Today I was watching my furkids play after feeding them, and was noticing how much larger they have grown in the past 3 months. Jumper (Abyssinian mix) is now 32 inches long (from nose to tail and weighs over 7 lbs. He is 7 1/2 months old. Being a long thin cat (due to Aby's structure) acts as though he will never "grow up". He even wanted to be picked up and held in my arms for a while today, tummy up, and acutally went to sleep in that position, while I was reading articles on the internet. Of all the furkids I have, I seem to enjoy my Aby, Jumper's companionship the best. If any out there is contemplating obtaining another furkid, may I suggest, a male cat that is loyal and obeys fairly frequently, that you consider getting an Abyssinian. As far as his "growing up" I enjoy him as he is, big ears and all, and sometimes I wish he would remain a kitten all of his life. ("lovedemabys"!).
I put Snow Cat on the scales today also, and he weights 7 1/2 lbs and is about 28" long -no more a kitten! Remembering his first vet visit, in October, he weighed 3 1/2 lbs!
