how old are maine coon cats when they stop growing??

My cousin's cat went through a massive and rapid growth spurt at 1 year and 3 months old. it was kind of shocking and i would like to know how long these cats continue to grow for. thanks!

1. I've heard they grow till about 3 years old. I have one who's a mix and she's still growing at 1 and a half years old.
2. Male cats grow for 15 months, while female usually grow for 12 months. Maine Coon cats sometime will grow a few moths longer sometime since they originated more closely from wild cats than other breeds. They are a very great pets!
3. They grow conspicuously unti a year / 15 months. Then the whole process slows down. What grows and changes now is the size of the belly. They may change from season to season. There are fat cats and slim cats. But mainly they have done growing after 15 months. Whatever, love them!
4. Maine Coon Cats take up to 3 years to mature. I used to show household pet cats with TICA and a Maine Coon breeder thought my cat Colby was a Purebred. If not purebred, she said, he has a lot of Maine Coon in him. Colby use to weigh a svelt 20 pounds. He lost a couple of pounds as a 12 year old.

6. maine coons and maine coon mix kitties grow until they are 3 years old. they mature at 4 years of age. they are largest breed domestic kitty, and very special. loyal--bond only to one individual. wonder kittens. they learn tricks and understand english. they communicate with their eyes,and stay very close to their human..gentle giant lovies.
7. Maine coons will grow until they reach 3-5 years of age.
