Formula

Adult Weight ≈ Current Weight ÷ Growth Multiplier

Growth multipliers are derived from typical feline development. Individual cats may fall outside ranges due to genetics or health conditions.

Full Description

Predicting adult weight helps plan diet transitions, carrier sizes, and veterinary dosing. Monitor weight trends and consult your veterinarian if growth seems too rapid or too slow.

Large-breed cats may continue filling out into their third or fourth year. Adjust calorie intake to maintain an ideal body condition score.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this prediction?

It provides a guideline. Genetics, nutrition, and health can change the final weight by several pounds.

Do spayed/neutered cats grow differently?

Neutering may influence metabolism but typically has minimal effect on skeletal size.

What if I have a mixed-breed cat?

Choose the group that matches parental size or your cat’s current growth curve.

Can I use this for adult cats?

Adult cats have already reached full size. Use the calculator primarily for kittens and adolescents.
