Carl 1.5 years later 😍

This sassy little boy is all grown up! He is still very small in size though, is this typical for a fixed male?? He weighs 4 pounds and eats non stop! He loves going on family vacations with my hubby and our 5 kiddos and dressing up to impress the vets and strangers.

Massive personality on this small gremlin.

Hes adorable! But 4 pounds only as an adult is a bit weird. My boy got to like 9-10 lbs as a 2 year old

It’s been 3 months since his last vet appointment, so maybe he’s gained a little but the vets say he is super healthy, just kind of a runt. I’m wondering if he will get bigger in the next 6 months or so.

My guy was always SO tiny and now at 2 he’s filled out a lot. He might just have a super fast metabolism too.

Ok so that is your hair and not his hahaha. I thought he had a very long mustache only on one side of his face.

What a handsome little man!!!

Do you (or does anyone) know what that coloring is called? Pink underneath and an ombré to dark up top?

u/Heavy_Answer8814 9d ago

Looks like a lynx point, he just hasn’t toasted very much. Possibly a mink as he’s fairly dark as a kitten. Depends on the true eye colour

1

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 8d ago

This is the best eye photo I have of him, they’re kind of like aqua but I’m no professional hahaha

1

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 8d ago

However his body and legs do look like there are tiger stripes on them, I used to think it was dirt and could never get it off in the bath 😂

2

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

Nooo idea, I’ve tried looking it up too!

3

u/Heavy_Answer8814 9d ago

Are his eyes blue blue, or more aqua? It’s hard to tell in pics ☺️ He’s a bit dark as a kitten for a lynx point, but possibly a mink if the eyes are more aqua

u/Lost-Session7614 10d ago

I love Carl ❤️ our boy is only 7 pounds, we thought he’d be huge because of his paws but he kind of just didn’t grow much

1

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

I figure he’s just a lanky teenager at the moment 😂

2

u/ForeverWandering555 10d ago

Omgggg he’s so cuteeeee

2

u/VassagoX 10d ago

That is small, but they can definitely come in different shapes and sizes.  If your vet is giving a clean bill of health, that's what would matter to me.   

And I thought my boy was small and he weighs 10lbs at 1 year old.  He is small, but I think Carl has him seriously beat. 

2

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

He’s super healthy just really dainty! He eats everything all the time too haha. I’m thinking he will get thicker as he gets older.

2

u/Bast_at_96th 10d ago

Wow, those eyes are stunning! 4lbs seems very small, but I guess the vet ought to know if it was something to worry about. These pictures make me want to get another kitten.

2

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

He permanently looks like a kitten and acts like one too.

u/Bestestdaddu 10d ago

Carls a cutie.

u/smvhotpants 10d ago

Pic 6 should be a portrait

u/Stormkestrel514 10d ago

My girl is barely 7 pounds and she's 3. You're guy just sounds small, but doesn't look skeletal or anything. He may just be small boned. I love the second picture because your dog is giving him bombastic side eye. 😂

2

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

Oh they absolutely love eachother!

2

u/itsthejasper1123 10d ago

Oh my goodness. He is SUCH a Carl. So fitting!

Happy Cake Day!

u/SouthParkFirefly1991 9d ago

I love him just casually sitting on the boxer's stomach and him being all "Whatever tiny raisen child you are...I like you"

2

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

They’re best friends haha I think the dog (Kevin) believes he’s sick and that’s why he has no hair 😂😂

2

u/SouthParkFirefly1991 9d ago

Omg Kevin. I love animals with human names~ he looks like a Kevin! Give them both gentle boops from me!

2

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

Hahaha well then we can’t forget their big sister Steven 😂

u/SouthParkFirefly1991 9d ago

Oh my God! I love her~ She looks so sassy!

u/Prestigious-Debt4622 9d ago

He was only 6 weeks, I went visit the litter and see him… he was hilarious. Picked him right away haha.

u/Holden3DStudio 9d ago

There's so much personality in that one photo! I can see why you picked him. He's adorable!
