My cousin's cat went through a massive and rapid growth spurt at 1 year and 3 months old. it was kind of shocking and i would like to know how long these cats continue to grow for. thanks!

Male cats grow for 15 months, while female usually grow for 12 months. Maine Coon cats sometime will grow a few moths longer sometime since they originated more closely from wild cats than other breeds. They are a very great pets!

I've read 4-5 years to "mature into their body". Was around 2 years old when I got him Dec. 22 2013. It is now March 6 2014 and he has grown SO much since I got him, width-wise and length wise. He is only 11 1/2 lbs so that is kind of on the lighter side. My 4 year old domestic shorthair is much, much smaller than he is but she only weighs 1 lb less than him. Sometimes you can tell by paw size with cats and dogs. We have a great Pyrenees pup that isn't even a year old and his paws grew first but he's starting to grow into them since he's bigger than our dining room table already. Same goes for my maine coon cat.

i have study 4-5 years to "mature into their body". change into round 2 years previous after I were given him Dec. 22 2013. that is now March 6 2014 and he has grown a lot seeing that I were given him, width-smart and length smart. he's purely 11 a million/2 lbs so as that is truly on the lighter area. My 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous relatives contributors shorthair is way, a lot smaller than he's yet she purely weighs a million lb below him. each so often you may tell with the aid of paw length with cats and dogs. we've an excellent Pyrenees puppy that isn't even a three hundred and sixty 5 days previous and his paws grew first yet he's placing out to change into them seeing that he's higher than our eating room table already. similar is going for my maine coon cat.

Maine coons will grow until they reach 3-5 years of age.

Maine Coon Cats take up to 3 years to mature. I used to show household pet cats with TICA and a Maine Coon breeder thought my cat Colby was a Purebred. If not purebred, she said, he has a lot of Maine Coon in him. Colby use to weigh a svelt 20 pounds. He lost a couple of pounds as a 12 year old.

They grow conspicuously unti a year / 15 months. Then the whole process slows down.
What grows and changes now is the size of the belly.
They may change from season to season.
There are fat cats and slim cats.
But mainly they have done growing after 15 months.
Whatever, love them!

maine coons and maine coon mix kitties grow until they are 3 years old. they mature at 4 years of age. they are largest breed domestic kitty, and very special. loyal--bond only to one individual. wonder kittens.
they learn tricks and understand english. they communicate with their eyes,and stay very close to their human..gentle giant lovies.
