The truth about 'little' Hamlet

Now, a number of you have commented on the fact that 'little' Hamlet has gotten SO much bigger.

The other day he sat on the scale. He is 4.8kgs.

 That's 10.58lbs.

Now it's important to remember that Hamlet is only 7 months old.

I think the lesson to be learned here is I should be nicer to him while I'm still the 'big' brother.

Must alway keep an eye on him while he's small...

Hamlet is growing up to be a very handsome Mancat, Rumbles. Your Mom and Dad chose well when he was such a small kitten. Now the two of you must pose nicely for a picture together!

Forever Foster said...

Squishy Lishy was only 3.2kg at his last weigh in. Little Hamlet could eat him for breakfast!

Hannah and Lucy said...

We think you should talk meow nicely to Hamlet before he gets big enough to give you a whap.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Uh oh, he is getting big. You better train him who is boss while he is still young.
But mom just weighed our CocoBean and she weighed 12 pounds yesterday, and she is a girl!

Little Truffle will only be around 5 to 6 pounds at her heaviest!

Wow! Diego is growing into a BIG boy!!! Wow!! He's already way bigger than Bella!!

Fuzzy Tales said...

"Little" Hamlet/Diego weights about what we weight, and we're about 5 and 4 years old!

Cory said...

"Little" Hamlet Diego is already way bigger than me and my momma and Bennette and Cecilia, but Ginger says she can still take him. Whatever that means.

Clarissa said...

Hamlet is growing into a handsome MANCAT!!!! A lot of the lady cats are going to be swooning over him. But as handsome as Diego is, the girls at our house will only swoon for you, Rumbles!

Marg said...

Uh Oh Rumbles. You had better get that almost little fella trained now before he gets any bigger. He is getting handsome but Rumbles you will always be our man. Hope all of you have a great week.

Random Felines said...

We agree - you need to get him into submission now before he realizes he is getting bigger!!!

Mariodacat said...

WHOA - Hamlet is going to be a big buy! M can hardly lift me and I weigh 12 pounds. (he he - my diet isn't going so well.)

Brian's Home Blog said...

But he will always be your little brother!

HH and The Boys said...

Yep Rumbles.... if he turns out to be a 25-pounder, you want him to remember how nice you were to him...

Have a great day...

pawhugs, Max

Your Daily Cute said...

That Hamlet is going to be HUGE! Pimp used to weigh 22 lbs. at one point. That's 9.8 kg!

The Whiskeratti said...

This is the time to have a FIRMER paw. While you still can. :)

Gemini and Ichiro said...

I think the cats talking about the firmer paw are right--set the standards NOW!

Rosemary B❤️ said...

Rumbles, never forget you are the boss. It does not matter that your tiny brother weighs more than you.

Miles weighs a LOT more than me but I am the boss and will be forever!

Cat Wisdom 101 said...

Our Odin was that weight at seven months as well. He's now a year and weighs 15 lbs! Some boys are just big-boned and muscular.

Tober the Cat said...

He'll need a namechange soon, maybe? From Hamlet to HamLOT!

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...

For sure, hamlet is going to be a big kitty - he is already!!! Just make sure he respects you, Rumbles, and don't let the size thing get to you.

The Island Cats said...

Whoa! Hamlet is gonna be a big boy, isn't he, Rumbles?!? Best for you to stay on his good side!!

M Dawson said...

I TOLD you he would be a give lad. I took one look at his dad's picture and thought CRIVENS!! That will be a big lad but... he is your brofur, he will mellow with age. I hope...

Daisy said...

Rumbles, do not worry, even if he grows bigger than you, you will STILL be the boss of him!

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Rumbles you will always be the 'bigger' no matter what size Hamlet grows to.

Set the standard now that you are the boss!

JB's Big and Small Worlds said...

Uh oh, he is getting big. You better train him who is boss while he is still young.
But mom just weighed our CocoBean and she weighed 12 pounds yesterday, and she is a girl!

Lita and the boys in Melbourne said...

Wow, Rumbles so little Hamlet is going to keep growing till he's at least 2 if not 3 so he'll probably weigh the same as you if not a little more maybe...
And why are you still gowing, Rumbles, how old are you? Don't Maine-Coon's finish growing around 3? You're older than 3, aren't you? At our house, Sammy weighs 8.5 kilos (ahem!) and he's a tabby not a maine-coon and he'll be 4 soon. He is a big cat though and not just around the middle :) Mum keeps threatening to "help" him get rid of a couple of kilos though...Zorro weighs around 4.5 kilos and he'll be 2 but I think he's finished growing and our new brother Bello weighs 5.5 kilos and he's almost 9 so ideally he's been done for ages. But Maine-Coons, Ragdolls, Norw Forest Cats & Himalayans are the biggest domestic ones, yes? I'm not including the designer cats like the savannah.

WOW!

He'll soon weigh as much as me ;-)

Lin said...

Uh oh--somebody's gonna be a BIG boy!!

The Daily Pip said...

Oh Rumbles, you will always be the BIG brother because you have the BIG personality!

Your pal, PIp

Luxington said...

MOL! Great photo of you keeping an eye on your "little" brother!

Clooney said...

Hmm, Ragdoll vs Maine Coon...this shall be very, very interesting! I'll be booking front row seats on theese one! (I must say that Hamlet is looking like a mighty fine Mancat-in-Training!)
