    KITTENS BECOME CATS??

    Just curious when does a kitten stop growing? and when is a kitten considered an adult?-if their spayed is it earlier?

    males can continue to grow until they are 2 years of age while a female usually stops about 1 year of age.

    MaryNH is right.  Having had cats all my life I can attest to this however, if a cat is neutered or spayed they do seem to put on weight as the years roll on, or least the ones I have had do.  But they stop actually growing taller at about these ages.

    Peaches, my little orange baby, still looks kittenish and shes two.

    My belief is that cats stop growing height-wise at about 9 months to 12 months of age. Then it's a matter of them filling out, and they'll continue to be growing until they're about 2 years old. I've been watching Buffy closely and she did the exact same thing, she stopped growing UP at about 11 months and finally stopped physically changing at about 2 1/2 years old.
