I've read that early s/n can cause cats to become bigger/longer/taller than they might have been otherwise because the energy that went into puberty development just goes into growth. I was wondering if there's sort of like an average of by how much?
Example: my girl is long and lean. Tail is about 12/13 inches long if I've measured right. She was spayed at 13 weeks. I assume some body type is just genetics, but pretending she was born in a home instead of outside and had been spayed at 6 months instead, how much shorter might she be? Like a couple inches? More/less?
It doesn't really affect anything for me, just a topic I was curious about!
