Rate of Growth

My little Nala (an F6 female) is seven months old and weighs
8 1/2 pounds. My breeder informed me that she would weigh approximately 15 pounds as an adult. I'm thinking she may weigh more than the expected 15 pounds because she still has approximately two+ years of additional growth. Regardless of her weight, I'll be satisfied with a healthy cat.
Usually a Savannah will do the majority of growing in the first year. The second year you may see some additional height and length, but not necessarily weight. The third year is mostly maturing and filling out a bit. Having said that, in my experience, most later generation Savannahs (f4 and later) tend to stop growing after one to one and a half years, so hard to tell where Nala will end up.

My Kilifi (F5 SBT) reached her current 9 lbs 12 oz at about 17 months. She is up and down 2-3 oz around that mark now. Depends on her appitite and how much she plays.

No complaints. Don't think she needs any more. She would be filling up places best left unfilled. I think she is very female now and has a cute figure. ;)

He has been "big" framed (tall and long) from the beginning, but it comes in spurts. Measurements are always tough, not very consistent because he won't sit still, so typical :), but no problem getting accurate weight. He is filling out a little, and still seems to be stretching. I think he has a few pounds to go before he is done, might push 30 pounds when fully mature. Nicknamed "Grace" for a reason, kind of a bull in a china shop sometimes, LOL!
