1. What is the Cat Peek Calculator?

The Cat Peek Calculator estimates a cat's weight based on its age and growth factor. It provides a simple way to track your cat's expected weight during growth phases.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Age \) — Cat's age in months
• \( Factor \) — Growth factor in pounds per month

Explanation: The equation assumes a linear growth pattern where weight increases by the factor amount each month.

3. Importance of Weight Calculation

Details: Monitoring a cat's weight is crucial for ensuring proper growth, detecting health issues early, and maintaining optimal nutrition.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter age in months (1-120) and growth factor (typically 0.5-1.5 lbs/month for most cats). Adjust factor based on breed and individual growth patterns.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical growth factor for kittens?
A: Most kittens gain 0.5-1 pound per month during their first 6-8 months.

Q2: When do cats stop growing?
A: Most cats reach full size by 12-18 months, though some large breeds may continue growing until 2-4 years.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a rough estimate. Actual weight may vary based on breed, genetics, and nutrition.

Q4: Should I be concerned if my cat's weight differs?
A: Significant deviations (more than 20%) from expected weight may warrant a vet consultation.

Q5: Can this be used for adult cats?
A: The formula works best for growing kittens. For adults, use current weight rather than this projection.
