It is normal for a cat to weigh about 6-8 pounds at 6 months, but its specific weight is related to the owner’s feeding method, the breed of the cat and other factors. Cats usually have a better appetite, eat better, and do not give birth. The weight of cats after serious illness will be slightly higher. Generally, when a cat is about 6 months old, its growth and development rate will gradually slow down. By about 1 year old, most cats have reached physical maturity and their weight is relatively stable.
