I had this problem with my cat, so I fed it nothing but sardines smothered in ketchup for three weeks. This worked, sort of... this cat is now bigger than the other and has trouble walking.
Not recommended.

Thats fine I have a few cats and the females seem to be smaller than the males, one of them is smaller cause she had kittens really young she was a stray and her owners but her on the street because of it, she kinda found us.
Normally if the cats been ill or something like that, it will stop them growing as much.

I asked the vet this too because I got my female from the pound and she had the flu when she was a baby, I was worried her growth had been stunted. He said that, like people, female cats are smaller than males.

Female cats have a tenda cy to be smaller than males. If she is having a problem with her appetite and is not gaining weight regularly then take her to the Vet for a check-up.

Male cats are genely biggerbut they come in small sizes as well..Your girl is probably just a petite little thing,,Was her Mom small?We get all sizes in the Shelter that I work in some cats that come in with kittens arent much bigger than the kittens,,,I never was a cat person but I know prodly own a big grey-blue big neutered Tom named Pudge.They do kinda grow on you,,,Your girl is probably fine as long as she is UTD on shots and the Vet has checked her out..Good Luck

Completely normal,, check my 360, the pic of the slob on the sofa is 'moto' the tomcat, his sister 'star' is from the same litter and is about 2/3rds his size, they are both healthy and thriving, oh! thats them (middle and right) in the 'aaawh thats so cute' picture, you'll know the one when you see,,they are all 3yrs old now.
The other kitten on the left was called 'spook', she's a wee cracker as well.

It does happen because male cats are often a bit bigger than females. And of course, depending on who gets more food (My male cat bullies my other two a lot, unless I stop him).

Male cats are often a lot bigger than female cats. If she's healthy, size doesn't really matter.
