A series of measurements allows assessment of the kitten’s
growth. Please note that there is no ideal centile line, and
growth can be considered normal provided that it tracks along
the same centile line (or ‘channels’ in between two centile
lines) over time. Date Age (weeks) Weight (kg) Recorded by
•The 50th centile is not the goal for each kitten.
•Likewise, the 99.6th centile is not the goal for each kitten.
Increases or decreases in growth beyond two centiles or a flat
growth line (prior to reaching adult weight) are all signs of
potential growth disturbances.
• A growth rate that is too rapid resulting in a change in direction
upwards across multiple centiles could indicate
a risk of the kitten becoming overweight or obese.
• Slow growth resulting in a change in direction downwards
across multiple centiles could be a sign of failure-to-thrive.
If the kitten looks healthy and in ideal condition despite centiles being crossed
in the same directions, it is possible the wrong chart was originally chosen.
Try replotting the weights on the next chart, and reassess the growth pattern.
