Can my Cat own Werner Syndrome (Premature aging disease)?

My cat is male, solely 9 months old, and I took him to a clinic yesterday and they weigh him and said he is 14 lbs, is very voluminous, and has significant tarter on his teeth, thus he has to be at least possible 3 years old!

But he is not 3 years outdated. I got him from a friend at 7 wks antiquated and he was near all his little brothers and sisters at indistinguishable age. I have to own that he is very hulking for a 9 month old, especially compared to other small 9 month dated kittens i've seen.

What do you consider this could be? Based on what the clinic said Could he have an animal overnight case of Werner Syndrome? Do animals get that?

I'm worried.


FYI: Werner's Syndrom is the premature aging disease. If you've see the movie Jack, with Robin Williams, specifically what he had.
Answers: I imperturbably brought this up in conversation next to my step dad (who is a vet)

He said that cats display can display pre-mature aging but it's not Werner Syndrome. When cats display this its a pituitary gland problem. The symptoms that your cat displays is most likely because he is obese (which would explain the extra substance and tartar). Try modifying his diet (consult with your vet first however). There are some low tarasphalt options for food.
