Not so much weight but size - by neutering early the normal hormones that are produced as a cat matures are never produced. These hormones are one of the things that causes the growth plates to close off in the bones which slows down and stops growth. Without the hormones to trigger this process the kitten's bones continues to grow for a longer period of time. In other words, early neuter usually produces your larger cats.
That's very interesting to know. I would have never thought about that. Always good to learn something new. Thank you.
Mine was neutered at 16 weeks so I would assume he will slow down a good bit.
