Oh, I agree with you. We thought Gracie was going to be about 8lbs when we bought her. Well, it took her well over a year to reach 5lbs. Those months when she was a tiny tot made me a nervous wreck. We hadn't had her too long when she took a tumble off the bed while wrestling with a kitten her own size. It was an emergency trip to the vet. She had quite a limp for a little over a week but thank God nothing was broken. She was always doing dare devil stunts that just about took my breath away. I really think a more realistic weight gives the the sturdiness they need to be a bit more resilient.
