Kitten Weight Gain


Is there a 'normal' amount kittens should weigh, or put on per week?

We've had them now for just over 2 weeks.

2 days after we got them their weights were:
Abi - 314g
Trouble - 398g

I last weighed them on 19th August, and their weights were:
Abi - 405g
Trouble - 519g

Does this seem acceptable for kittens who had a bad start, and were taken from their Mum so early?

Re: Kitten Weight Gain


How old are they now?
I think that weight gain looks fine, they've put on 45-50g a week and if they had a bad start (sorry I don't know their story) they will be making up for it now!
