Factors That May Affect Your Siamese Cat’s Size

In terms of their actual growth, Siamese cats will typically stop growing after 10 to 12 months, although some outliers do continue growth for a few months after this.

A few other factors influence how large or small your Siamese cat might grow.

In general, cats will grow within the stated range of length and height. But aside from genetics, these factors have been found to have so impact on their eventual size.

Gender

An average Siamese male cat can weigh up to 14 pounds. On the other hand, a female generally weighs up to 11 pounds.

This is the most significant size difference between genders, and the male and female lengths and heights are only marginally different – think less than a half-inch on average.

If you see more aggressive kittens dominate the food and water, they will grow more potent than others, who may become smaller as a result.

Healthy Food and Clean Water

Some experts believe that the first few weeks of proper parental presence (mom cat) are critical for good early development.

Parental Presence

This could mean the nutrients acquired from mother’s milk or simply the biological impact of having a mother cat caring for her kittens. Early separation might contribute to underdevelopment and smaller size as a result.
