You're thinking she's less than a year - is she full size yet? If not measure and weigh her now. When she reaches her adult size/weight, work backwards from that.
It depends on the cat, but generally they grow quickly for six months, then slowly for six months, then they stay at that size, but bulk out a bit for 6 months.
I should’ve included her current size. Not sure how to add pics to the post. No idea how much she weighs in those first pics but currently she looks like this and weighs 11.3 pounds.
The pics in the post are 3.5 years ago.
Ha, might be a bit harder to work out - but good to have a fully grown cat photo as comparison.
Looking at your "before and after" photos, and based on what my own cats looked like at 3, 4 ,5 ,6 months, I'd say your guess of 4 months isn't far off. 4 or 5 months?
Thanks! Yeah i was searching the internet for other ragdoll pics at various months and that’s what I came to with. Of course they’re all different, but I think the range is 4-8 months. So i’ll just pick an easy date to remember that falls in there.
Love the pic of your cats on the stairs btw:)
Ragdolls take 3 or 4 years to reach full size. They're not a large breed but they're bigger than average.
She'll put on between 1 and 3 more pounds, and get coat will get fluffier.
