My Kittens are 3 weeks old now and when I weighed them to my surprise 1 of the 4 is 1lb and the other 3 are 12oz my question is will the 1lb kitten be a very big cat when its fully grown or is it a normal size and the other 3 are under weight P.S the 1lb kitten was the 3rd born out of the 4, if that has anything to do with the reason.

my cat had three kittens and we kept the biggest one and the smallest one when to live with my mum. three years on and our one is small and dainty and the one my mum got is a big bruiser so i don't think you can tell by their size when their so young

Kittens are just like babies you dont know how big they will get til they are grown, adult cats tend to only eat what they need and unlike dogs etc will not overeat, of course there are excetions...my ginger tom is huge and will happily steal food off my other cats if he can. Keep an eye on the kittens when they are eating and make sure the bigger one isnt pushing the smaller ones awy from the food, this sometimes happens. If it is then try moving him away for a little bit whilst the others are feeding (thats if mum will let u)

Usually if the kitten has bigger than normal paws it will be a big cat. My kitten turned out to be 16 lbs full grown

This is like trying to figure out how tall your 3-yr-old child is going to be when they grow up. There's no way to be absolutely certain one way or the other, how big were the parents? That's a good start.

it may or may not be- there is always one porker out of the group- that moves the least and eats the most- it gives them an advantage over food.He may be a bigger cat, or he may just be growing faster (or fatter). Usually, they will all end up relatively the same size.

as there is only 4oz of a difference, then i dont think it would make any difference. Chances are more likely that the cats will grow to be the same size if they are from the same litter.

You can't tell at this stage. Some scrawny kitten can become a huge cat if well fed and kept.

If she/he seems to be a large cat which she/he seems to be then she may need more food than the others but not to much. Just watch what she/he is eating you don't want to ver face her. I know that sounds a bit bizzare and probably doesn't make sense.

Maybe, but maybe it just drinks more milk than the others and that's why it has gotten chubby. Or maybe it will grow fast and then stop and the others will slowly catch up.
