    Have you asked your vet about this? That would seem to be your most reliable source of information.

    my Havoc had a smallish looking head when I adopted him in February @ 9months old. He's just about over that gangly, lanky, stage now and everything seems proportionate.

    So much of a cat is fur that Dean may simply have shorter fur on his head than on the rest of him.

    Or maybe he's just been going to a psychiatrist to help him get rid of that nagging feeling that he's supposed to be running an academic department?

    Love, Columbine

    A relatively large head is a normal secondary sex characteristic in intact tomcats.
    It it true that this characteristic will not develop if cats are neutered prior to puberty, which I believe would be the case at 3 months of age.

    Post pictures of your cutie if you can! We pictures.


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    From my own experience, my Sky was neutered later in life and he has a very large broad head. My cat Starr was neutered at around 5 months and he has always had a very small head but it went with his small frame. Now Starr's head looks way out of proportion because he's gained a lot of weight due to the pred that he has to have for the rest of his life. His feet are also very small and they don't go with his huge body at all.

    My RB Pepper was neutered before I adopted him at 9 weeks of age but his head was normal. He grew into a large stocky cat and his head was always in proportion to his body.

    Do you have any pictures of your boy?
