Question question about tom cats

hello

I was wondering when do tom cats usually start to get full grown? Also can mature tom cats still get along with nutered males?

Depending on the breed of cat, it can take up to 3 years for males to fully finish growing. I believe Ragdolls and Maine Coons are in this category. I have found my males have fully finished growing at 18 months. At about 6 months they can be sexually active.

Yes, tom cats can get along with neutered males but it really depends upon the individual cats and how they interact.
