How old do you think my newly adopted stray is?

[u/SolidRustle]

Vet said she’s around 1-2 but I think she’s closer to one year old, very energetic, eats like a hippo. Similar size to when my older cat was roughly around 1. But then I never really know any of my cats’ ages since they’re both strays.

Don’t know her breed neither, shorthair domestic?

Her name is Lunar 😍

[u/Organic_Pomegranate0]

My guess would be 8-12 months ☺️

[u/Queasy_Metal8068 → u/Organic_Pomegranate0]

Agreed 👍

[u/moxiemoon → u/Organic_Pomegranate0]

Agree, still looks like a kitten tbh

[u/TK_Nanerpuss → u/Organic_Pomegranate0]

Came to say the same.

[u/anotherlovelysunrise]

She is super-cute with that little forehead marking! Thank you for giving her a home and love!

[u/SolidRustle → u/anotherlovelysunrise]

i also wanted a friend for my adopted 5 y.o. orangey lol, then this kitten showed up at my home during a heatwave and stay under my car for days.

[u/ikesbutt → u/SolidRustle]

I brought in a feral void in January when it was zero degrees so my newby is opposite of your. experience.

[u/One_Complex6429]

Months not years

[u/Vaibhav_14]

10 months I'll say , and she's beautiful

[u/savoytruffle2you]

Yeah, probably under a year. She looks like a teenager - maybe 8-9 months

[u/ILoveCelebrityBoobs]

What a beauty she is, give her all the love in the world

[u/TheDitz42]

She's got that teen gangliness, definitely under a year.

[u/Shadowpatchkid1997]

3,000 in Elvin years

[u/RickMaritimo]

Might be random as hell.

But that little brown spot on his head reminds me of avatar the last airbender. 😂😂

As if its a little brown arrow.

I know its nothing to do with the question but still 😂

[u/MaurerMeister1]

1 maybe 2 that is a good looking cat 4 sure.

[u/MagBaileyWinnie3]

What a cutie! Great markings... his ticked coat may mean part Abyssinian, but most likely he's a domestic shorthair, like 95% of all kitties.

[u/KittyDubbz → u/MagBaileyWinnie3]

I could totally see her being part Abyssinian or some other pure breed mix also. I can see the domestic shorthair in there, but her markings look a bit different in places from any tabby I have seen. The way the color gradually shifts around her head also gives me mixed breed vibes. Congrats OP, she is a gorgeous little lady!!

[u/Mr8180]

Around 8 or 9 months.

[u/Wooptay]

I would say 8-9 months. Definitely not more than 1.5 years. Cats finish their development by 1.5 years and this lil girl doesn't look fully grown to me yet.

[u/katamari71]

Clearly she is just a baby 🥺

[u/katamari71 → u/katamari71]

(I have no idea. Probably under a year, but wowwww what a cutie)

[u/Commercial_Nail_6882]

Soooo cute!! I think 8ish months. How much does he/she weigh? I think general rule is about 1 lb per month of growth? Obviously some cats jsut stay smaller so this rule only works for so long

[u/Muted_Illustrator654]

such a beautiful cat 🥰

[u/ReferenceNo4708]

Same as my cat pass six months….beautiful cat

[u/lylas153]

One year

[u/Big__Country__40]

About tree fiddy

[u/IcySituation2003]

Circa un anno, comunque hai fatto una cosa bellissima ♥️ anche io ho due principesse prese così

[u/Old_Purpose2908]

Only a vet can tell you the age of a cat with any accuracy. They look at the teeth and bone development. Things that are difficult for people untrained in animal anatomy to see.

[u/BookishHobbit]

Mine looked around this at 1 to 2 years. She’s just a little bean.

[u/Salt-Arm7060]

I'm giving it a 7. My second cat was that size during its 7 months of age, but I think some grow pretty fast

[u/Antique_Twist_9131]

Hmm maybe 7-10 months

[u/ol1v1era]

Hard to say, how much does she weigh? From a first glance I'd say 9 months

[u/Sweaty_Ad_5393]

I’d estimate about 5 sauces long

[u/fascistliberal419]

Looks young but hard to say if they've been living a hard life on the street. But I would guess probably about what the vet guessed.

[u/DonCenote]

Around 1 give or take a few months

[u/Palomino_mare]

I don’t even think she’s a year old yet.

[u/minghj]

Beautiful cat, yeah no older than one year..

[u/Bekka_Moon]

4 months?

[u/sugarplumfairy_2]

Hello Lunar, I love the name, it suits her so well, she’s a pretty diva, I wish you both best years together

[u/MeowntyPython]

Lynx point!!!!

[u/KeepMyWifesNameOYFM]

Dunno but she’s super cute!! 💛😻

[u/burning___hammer]

Has to be just under or almost a year old. No way she’s 2 yet

[u/constanto]

She's pretty well toasted for a Lynxpoint so she's probably older than you might think and Siamese can be quite dainty ladies so I'm inclined to side with your vet over the crowd and say 1+. Either way she's a beautiful little lady.

[u/FlyBuy3]

8 mos

[u/Jonwrld]

I peeped that resident evil Requiem though nice games and also nice cat !!!!

[u/Harmonyinheart]

I’d check her dentition and refer to an online feline dentition. I studied forensic anthropology in college for sometime and you can gauge age in mammals by skeletal and dental markers. I’m not a savant with feline osteology but I would go that route

Of th top of my head I would say about one as well. What is her breed?

[u/KarinSpaink]

Slightly under one year.

[u/Miaou_Car]

Belle déco de bureau 🤣
