Final Size and Weight Projections

At 10 MO, Louie, a 59% F1 is 13 1/2 at front shoulders, 14 1/2 at rump, 18 long from breastbone to buttocks and about 14 pounds. Any projections as to his final dimensions and weight?

Similar in age to Amaury (F1 male 56%). Amaury is 8.5 months, 14.5" front shoulders, 18" long and 16.2 lbs. I know his kidd brother is at least 18 lbs I believe and only 3 months older (same parents different litter). I'm thinking your Louie, my Amaury will top out above 20 lbs in 3 yrs of time (slow growth from here on out).

I hope you're right, although I would think that Amaury should end up being a few pounds heavier. You are probably correct at about 20 for Amaury, and I'm sticking to my very optimistic projection of 17 for Louie.

Got a good pic of F2 vs F5. F5 pictured is 15lbs, not exactly small, but looks small next to Loki.

The F2 and F5 might weigh about the same, despite the height and length disparity, which is?

F2 outweighs F5 by 5 lbs, 33% of F5's weight.
Haven't done precise measurements on F5, but he is about 3-4" shorter at front shoulder and 4-5" shorter at rear hip. Length of neck is much longer on F2, so head height is probably 7-8" taller!
Our F5 is definitely stockier, but he is also 2 years older than F2. At 3yo the F5 has likely reached final height and length, but feel 1yo F2 will stretch some more IMO.

F2 standing at kitchen counter can reach half way to backsplash, and has been known to take food off of plates with ninja like stealth.

Window pictured is 32" if that helps.

We would be happy with Loki at any size. He is getting sweeter as we go, really cool to see his huge personality develop. He has always been sweet, but last 6 weeks increasingly more affectionate. Still not cuddling on the couch with us, but in his own way!

That's a big cat! Beautiful markings, too.
What's he standing on and what's he going after?

Standing on of a top-bar beehive turned sideways that's about to get sanded and stained for next spring. Going after pieces of corn cob husks the birds keep taking from compost pile and trying to wedge in a gap around siding and window, repeatedly. I don't think it's in their best interest to build there, lol. Think he is on to them! If they keep it up they are gonna find out why.
