This is probably a stupid question considering the fact that I have two other cats. But I have a 9 month old female pastel calico who is still really tiny. Shouldnt she be almost done growing? We got her at 2 months and she was super tiny, smaller then most kittens but she was not a runt, her parents where small also. Could she be done growing at 9 months? I really would like her to stay this small becuase she is really cute and so much smaller then my other two. The vet seems to tell us she is healthy so I'm sure it's not like a health thing. Shes not under weight or anything just small. She looks like about 6 months and is going to be a year in march.

I had a female calico that was very small too. Some calicos are naturally small. If her parents were small too, she probably won't grow much more, if any.

Usually cats are done growing between 12 and 18 months of age but some can continue to grow until 2 years old. She may just be small though. My sister has 2 calicos and both are very tiny, stopped growing at 7 months old and each only weighs 4 lbs. Vets have checked them, very healthy, just tiny. I think it's adorable too!

she probably stay that small, but usually 1 year to 1 1/2 years she will be done growing.
All cats are different, just depending on her DNA. You know there are some cats that reach like 30 pounds, and are still healthy. My 2 cats are only 10 pounds each and a very healthy.

At about 18 months. Some female cats don't grow real big. Get her spayed now (and I mean right now! You're a little behind schedule), and she may retain some kittenish qualities as she gets older.

they should be at least 2 thirds their fully grown size when they're 1 year old. i have a british blue who's 1 and she growing perfectly now. they slow down the growing process when they're 1 but when they're nearly 2, they get to adult size.WATCH THE CAT!!!!!!!!!!!

She's probably just petite.
I would venture to say that she's probably fully grown by now. If she grows anymore, which isn't that likely, she may only get a little bigger.

Its ok if she is small. Generally 1-1.5 years to full grown.
