Erm.. you can't. At least not without severely harming the health of the kitten.

Small living things grow into bigger living things - this is a nearly universal phenomenon.

Depending on the breed of the cat however it may be that it has nearly reached it's full growth - the majority of breeds have their growth slow significantly around the 12 month mark and grow significantly slower until around 18 months old where they are fully grown.

Some larger breeds such as Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats and Birmans can take 2-4 years before they are fully grown.

  @hownowbrowncow on the off chance that you aren't just trolling may I suggest that you find the kitten/cat a suitable home with someone who understands that pets aren't toys and can be responsible enough to care for her properly and get yourself a plush toy cat instead. Guaranteed not grow a whisker larger.

You're not going to stop an animal from growing larger without seriously endangering their well-being. She is supposed to be whatever size she is growing to. The only reasons that they wouldn't would be serious malnourishment or hormonal problems. Intentionally causing either would be clear animal abuse and would severely shorten her life.

Let her be healthy and grow! She'll still be the same cat you know and love.

Have you tried reasoning with it? Okay, seriously, the term "substantially larger" is kind of vague. So I'll consider two possibilities:

1. The kitten has become a cat. Not much you can do about this.




2. The cat is overweight. If this is the case, then you are probably feeding it too much. A lot of people just fill a bowl and let the cat eat it whenever, but for a fat cat, you'll have to restrict its diet. Follow the recommendations on the food you give it, and don't leave the food out all day.

Posting a photo of the cat would be helpful. If you are like most people, you probably have hundreds of photos by now....

Have you tried reasoning with it? Okay, seriously, the term "substantially larger" is kind of vague. So I'll consider two possibilities:

1. The kitten has become a cat. Not much you can do about this.




2. The cat is overweight. If this is the case, then you are probably feeding it too much. A lot of people just fill a bowl and let the cat eat it whenever, but for a fat cat, you'll have to restrict its diet. Follow the recommendations on the food you give it, and don't leave the food out all day.

Posting a photo of the cat would be helpful. If you are like most people, you probably have hundreds of photos by now....
