Unless you have a definite birth date, the normal growth rate for kittens is one pound for every four weeks.
Therefore:
One week old is 4 ozs
Two weeks old is 8 ozs
Three weeks old is 12 ozs
Four weeks old is 1 pound (or 16 ozs)
Five weeks old is 20 ounces (1 pound/4 ozs)
Six weeks old is 24 ounces (1 pound/8 ozs)
Seven weeks old is 28 ounces (1 pound/12 ozs)
Eight weeks old is 2 pounds (or 32 ozs)
I sent the kitten growth info to several friends who have cats - and one emailed back "Are you buying kittens by the pound now?"
