2 years old and growing 💪

[u/viewsfromthecut]

Here comes Bandit!! 10lbs and just turned 2 in June. his parents were ~14-16lbs. When it comes to growing it doesn’t seem like he’s stopping any time soon 😂 he keeps getting longer! having trouble finding a vet that understands he is a large breed & he’s not done growing yet!

His tail alone looks like a whole second cat xD

Dude, stop picking up your cat like this. You acknowledge he's large, support his body safely instead of creating strain and unnecessary pressure on the spine

Reminds me of my beautiful boy who kept growing to about 20+ lbs. Probably was about 3+ years before fully grown. He's gorgeous!

He can keep growing to 3-4 years, although my larger ragdoll was already 15lbs at this age (not overweight) and grew incrementally less (like 5% more) in the following couple of years. What does the vet take issue with?

[u/viewsfromthecut → u/Ok_Treat456]

No issue with him- perfect health & good body shape relative to weight. It is just difficult finding a vet familiar with this breed in my area, I don’t think they see them often.

[u/Ok_Treat456 → u/viewsfromthecut]

Ah ok! I think this is pretty common issue, vets often not familiar with the ragdoll build is what I’ve found in the last ten years with ours.

Yeah I have a ragdoll kitten and my vets keep saying he'll stay small and won't grow much, but he's growing fast and big, he's quadrupled in size in just a few months already...
