I have recently bought a Russian blue kitten. According to the breeder, she is 3 months old (well, 3 1/2 now). Last week, when i brought her to the vet for a check, the vet was baffled. She said that she does not know the breed well, but the cat seems to be way too small and weights too little to be 3 months. My kitten weights 700g (1.5 lbs). Looking for weight guides for other breeds seems to indicate that my cat indeed is not 3 months yet, or maybe just extremely small.

Does anyone here have a Russian blue and knows how much a 3 months old kitten should weight?

I mean, it doesn't really change anything at all, since i'm free feeding her, it's more out of curiosity.

Thanks :)

OP here. This is going to be an answer to the comments. I've posted as a guest (haven't made an account yet). As a guest, i can't answer to the comments directly.

Back to topic: Thanks for the answers. To my knowledge, the mother cat had 3 kittens. I can't be sure about the age of the kitten. I only have the date that was written in the sanitary book/Passport of the kitten. She gained roughly 60grams this week (i think that's 2.1oz?)

I can't see any green ring around the pupils yet. Also, by going with the weight chart, the kitten would seem to be indeed only around 8 weeks old, and not 12. Which surprises me, because she needed to get a vaccination against rabies by law, which in turn again, is only allowed to be made once the kitten is 3 months old.
