how old does kitten have to be before it loses kitten status?

Our oldest kitten is Dizzy, she is 6 years old lol.

Food packaging for kittens food says up to 12 months old. But IMO this is just a ploy to keep you paying for more expensive food for an extra 3 months. From a gccf showing point of view, any cat over 9 months old is classed as an adult. Any cat under 9 months must be shown as a kitten. hope this helps! xx

I agree maybe with slow maturing breeds it might be better to keep them on kitten foods Ragdoll,Maine coon, NFC etc.

Id say about 12 months?

BUT Some cats mature slowly and are kitten still at 3 years old!

Depends on the cat/breed etc

Very fair point. Maturity will definatly vary from breed to breed. Just like in people I guess. But we're still all considered adults at 18 (despite the fact that my 20 years old brother can barely tie his own shoe laces!) xx

when they reach a year old they are officially cats. However, they can remain kittens for a very long time

12 months is what I thought, despite my little Lola having kittens when she was only 6 months old. Her previous owners weren't overly responsible!
However we wouldn't have Mani aswell, so every cloud...
