Such beautiful face stripes! My shelter cat was much smaller at 6 months but that could have been from malnourishment from being dumped. He has long surpassed the size of our other adult cats and is still growing, even at 19 months. Yours may be a coon mix. You will know for sure if your kitty keeps growing after 12 months.
