It’s always a fun surprise to see how much a kitten changes throughout their first year of life. Even the tiniest of kittens could transform into a gigantic feline who looks nothing like their former self\u2014the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n
There’s only one kitten whose glow-up is worthy of a standing ovation: Baby Corn. The once runt of the litter with a wobbly way about him is finally sizing up into a full-grown cob, and it’s all thanks to a little R&R with Mom!<\/p>\n
Many of Corn’s fans compared him to a Renaissance painting, and now I can’t unsee it. If the thick boy had an Elizabethan collar, it’d be *chef’s kiss*. A few more pounds while relaxing and being the cutest, wobbliest kitty around<\/a> sounds like a good trade-off to me!<\/p>\n To understand why Corn’s vacation weight holds so much meaning, you must first know that mere months ago, he was smaller than a soda can<\/a>. As such a petite prince, even the wind knocked him over! I’m all for this new, wide, rotund, perfectly poised Corn, because it means he’s actually doing it\u2014he’s becoming everything we all knew he could be (and then some).<\/p>\n Related: Maine Coon Kitten’s Chunky Highlights Are Sun-Kissed ‘Purrfection’<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The now 1-year-old’s journey has been exciting to watch unfold. Corn has overcome SO much in his life already, so this vacation is the sweetest way to say “we’re all proud of you, buddy!”<\/p>\n As the most loving and devoted foster dad to his kitty daughter<\/a> and a shining example of what true resilience looks like, I’d say the former “Baby” Corn<\/a> is doing a stellar job showing the world what he’s capable of. His message of never giving up, always giving your all, and being grateful for each and every day shows.<\/p>\n Take a look back at where it all began, when we fell so hard for this precious Black Kitten<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n PetMD<\/em> says the average healthy adult cat should weigh<\/a> between 8 and 12 pounds, with the most ideal being around 10 pounds. Obviously, it all depends on the breed, gender, energy level, and age, because small breeds might only come in at 5 pounds or less, while Maine Coons<\/strong><\/a> can be 20 pounds or more.<\/p>\n That said, whatever Corn weighs or however big he gets, we love him all the same!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade Pets<\/a> on Apr 16, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
