My kitten... Is something wrong with him?

So I have a kitten who is six months old; but here's the bad thing... He's not grown at all since he was two months old! He's tiny! He's adorable though owo

But he has all the right mental developments and he's a right little thirteen year old, but he's so little! Is there something wrong with his growth?

He is a moggie, so we don't know his true breed. I am sure there is a little bit of Maine Coon in there somewhere. He is a gray tabby with a white underbelly and beautiful copper eyes, and a little pink nose. He is forever climbing, no matter how much I tell him off!

He's totally normal in the way he acts, it's just his height worrying me.

Thanks!

Update:

Mellisa: No, he is six months old. I used thirteen as a metaphor; he acts like a typical thirteen year old kid, doings things I've told him not to and then coming for a cuddle when he's being told off, because he knows it'll get him out of trouble. He's a smart kitty xD

    If he's thirteen and you haven't noticed anything wrong with him, he's probably fine. The only thing I would be worried about is him getting bullied by other cats. If you continue to worry, take him to the vet or look it up on wikipedia or other reliable sources.

    It could be his breed, I know there are types of cats with very short legs. If you are really concerned you should chat to your vet ;D

    I dunno, take him to the vet, they will probably know, or try calling an expert.

    Most likely its nothing though. :)
