Honey - AKA The Tiny Cat


Does anyone know how big 5-month-old cats should be? XD

They're usually fully-grown by about 6 months, right? According to my Mum, anyway. She's had plenty of cats in her time, including kittens going into adulthood, and..

Honey is.. Well.. Dinky.

Compared to our 10-year-old cat Spike, who is small but fat, he is small but big enough to beat him up. (Poor Spike, he puts up with so much.)

Compared to other cats, such as a big black cat who came to say hi to Honey in our garden, he is absolutely tiny.

I'm wondering if he's just a small cat. XD I need to take better photos of him in natural light outside, but he never stays still. (He follows me around, which results in him always having his face in the camera, making it impossible to take photos.)

Oh, and he's wearing his collar now. It's black velvet-ie with little plastic crystal-looking gems with a bell, and a star-shaped tag I had engraved with his name and our phone number. C:

















My family think he has a big nose. >_> I think his nose is lovely.

In my experience, cats keep growing until around 9 months - 12 months of age, after this time they tend to fill out side ways rather than upwards Of course some cats are naturally petite but I'd say Honey still has some growth yet to put on

She's certainly a pretty girl!!

He's actually a handsome boy, but close enough. XD

I think he's a very handsome boy also, and his nose looks just fine to me! It's hard to estimate his size from the pics; do you know what he weighs?
