They are both around 10lbs, but I need to re-weight because that was a few months ago and they have been good eaters lately! I think 10 is average for males and 8 for females, so that makes them normal vs. definitely undersized kittens. Of course, most cats in the USA are FAT! On this scale I think XX and FF are solid 5s on the 1-10 body condition scale: http://www.purinaveterinarydiets.com/resources/products/cat/cat_chart.pdf We give them wet food for over 90% of their diet, which gets rid of most of the empty carbs that make kitties fat.
Originally, I thought the vet said XX and FF were going to be undersized, but their size looks quite respectable to me. How much do they weigh?
