I know Somalis are slow maturing and don't reach their full size until 3-4 yrs, but at 4 years and 3 months I had thought Mosi was done growing.  It sounds as though Smidgen has some of those somali genes!

Smidgen keeps on growing too - at three years I would have expected that to stop. Maybe Aby's carry an on-going growing gene? (OK, I know Mosi is a somali, but you know what I mean ...)

I noticed last night that His Mosiness has shot up another inch.  Not necessarily in the past month or so, but certainly since I last compared his height to Jaffa's (within the last year).  I had thought he was done growing as he's 4 now but I noticed last night that he is easily as tall as Jaffa now.   He was about an inch shorter at the shoulder  I also noticed that Jaffa is finding it harder to pin him down when they play fisty cuffs.  Mosi stil lies on the floor on his back but Jaffa isn't able to immobilize him like he used to be able to.     I think of him a smaller and quite slight cat, but he's a big boy really.  They did tell me he would be big  :shify: but because he developed slower than Jaffa, it was hard when he was little to imagine him being all that big.  He was so much smaller at 14 weeks than Jaffa was at 8 weeks.  Time to stop  now though Mosi please.  You're big enough!
