Laceys babies are 6 weeks and 4 days now and im just abit concerned about there weights, what should they weight at this age? i know it will probably be less then other breeds because there a small breed anyway. but any help will be greatly recieved.

Not sure if this helps, its a bit general but will probably give you some idea, baring in mind Fifi is half Siamese and it says an average adult cat should be between 8 and 12 lbs, Fifi weighs about 6.5 lbs or 3kg

Thanks fifibelle, i should have put there weights up. tilly is 432grams pepples is 486, frosty is 478, isis is 399, storm is 504 and willow is 475. or roughly about a pound, i just remember squishy being a lot bigger than they are at this age they aren't putting much weight on at the moment but i guess it's probably because there getting more active.

The weights sound okay to me. I find at about six weeks they are at a funny stage. When you are weaning them they are still relying on they mum but also eating solids so their systems are a bit mixed up. Give it another week or so & they should start eating you out of house & home big time.

That makes me feel a lot better thank you

A rule of thumb for most kittens is an average weight of 1lb, or 454g, per month/age up to 12/16 weeks old. In my estimation your kittens are quite 'light' for their age.. but there's a difference between small and lightweight for their actual size, i.e. underweight/a bit skinny. If they're one of the smaller breeds and feel quite well 'covered' I wouldn't think their weight is a concern and, as lulusmum said, 6 weeks is a funny, transitional age for kittens.

Thank you, mum is siamese and only weighs about 5 pounds herself and not sure who dad is, with help from people on here we've narrowed it down to oriental or bengal so i can't see them being very big when grown up any way, but they don't feel boney.

If they are not boney do not worry about it as gskinner said if they are well covered they will be fine. I like mine to be about 900Gms by the time the had their first vaccination at 9weeks, but I have had them at 600gsm at that age and they still went on to grow into monsters.

When i got my two (at 8 wks old) they only weighed about 750g each - the vet reckoned this was due to them being twins! Now they're 3.5kgs at 7 1/2 months old - so they have caught up! But their mum was small too...

not sure about siamese cats, my kitten a siberian was about 900g at that age but a big breed and he was an only kitten. I found the time he went all funny and did not gain much was inbetween vaccines. If they are gaining each day and not loosing weight and have a good covering of fat and muscle so not boney then I would not worry.
