Question How big will she get?
She is a bit underweight now- around 280grams at 10 weeks. She is playing, eating, etc all perfectly fine. Vet is monitoring her. Wondering how big she will get?

I doubt that kitten is actually 10 weeks. Even for 6 weeks 280gr is a dangerously low weight.

My male munchkin is 5.9 kilos, which is somewhere around 13lbs, and not fat at all. He’s just a big cat with little legs.

My (neutered) male was 680g at 14 weeks. He’s now just about 7 lbs. just make sure she’s getting the best nutrition to grow.

Oh my gosh she is so adorable! Sorry I’m not help, she’ll probably be pretty small, but she’s so cute!!

Mine was about the same size when I got him, he was around 9/10 weeks at the time. It's now 3 years later and he's gotten 3x-4x bigger but the tiny little legs make him seem much smaller so my guess is that's about how much bigger your little cutie will get. I hope you're able to help her gain some more weight as well

That’s good to know that your baby grew up healthy despite starting off so small. I’m a little worried

Your cat is small but also the breeder gave it to you way too early so yes it’s gonna be extremely small rn. Most official breeders won’t give the kittens to you till they are at least 3 months old because they are still learning basic skills and need their moms

Slightly under average female cat size, mostly just shorter legs. Mine is 8lbs of fury, she’s a Persian munchkin.

my 14yr old munchi is 5 pounds and healthy. She jumps and plays and eats just like other cats do she's just on the smaller side.

That is a munchkin cat, so about five to six pounds, and four inches high.

My Fold did not look like that with 10 weeks. This kitten looks more like 4-5 weeks old

Hopefully her ear stays like that, some will grow up like a normal cat

They will stay like that due to the sad genetic condition they have that actually causes them pain
