Just been to see the vet nurse again to check on Cookie's weight and health.

On the 4th December at her first visit she was 3.1kg, today 4 weeks later she is 3.4kg, so she has gained 300grm in 4 weeks. The nurse said I need to keep an eye on her weight as a few hundred grammes can soon turn into a kilo.

Cookie is 8 months old, but I don't know what is an average weight for a British short haired cat.

Hi

My male BSH is 5.5kg. He is nearly 3 years old.

There are plenty of BSH owners on here who will probably be in a better position to advise but they are a big breed and I would have thought an average adult female would weigh 5-6.5 kilos so she's still got plenty of growing left to do, her current weight doesn't look out of the ordinary to me

I have two BSH girls. Izzy who is now 7 and a half months, and Isla who is 8 and a half months.

They were last weighed a couple of weeks ago just after they were spayed and weighed in at 3.2kg (Izzy) and 3kg for Isla.

They were both weighed a few days before (the day they were spayed) and both weighed 3kg. So Izzy piled on 200 grams in 4 days!

They vet said their weights were perfect for their age, but just to watch Izzy's weight gain.
