[quote="Rengar"]I bought a kitten that was supposed to be 9 weeks (which should be around 900 grams). I didnt know the weight ideal either. I just assumed he was the "weaker" one out of the nest and didnt get the big share of food due having a fat sibling.
He turned out to be 425 gram and passed away after 4 days. So its good that you are careful!
You can read my post here:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22598The vet told me in general a kitten grows 100g a week and a 9 week old kitten is around 900.
This should help you also:
Thanks for the advice, I am so sorry to hear you lost your kitten, I am sure I read your story, if it is the one I am thinking of I cried, it was so sad. Thankfully Jaego did bounce back although he is still being treated for a very persistant and contagious bug but thankfully it is not life threatening, he was only so poorly in the beginning as he was young so deteriorated quickly as kittens often do.
Thank you for taking the time to offer the advice xx
