How much does the average cat weigh?

My favorite cat weighed 8lbs when he was an adult. He looked like a big kitten for his whole life.

I've got both inside-only & outside-only cats (we live on about 10 acres of land). They all range in size, with the outside cats being a bit lighter in weight. Most of my cats range from a petite almost 7 lbs. 1 & 1/2 year all gray female to a hefty almost 20 lbs. 2 year male long-hair tabby (which is WAY over-weight). My vet told me that a good rule of thumb for cat weight is: standing above your cat, look down at the cat's whole body. If the sides of the cat look kinda like ( ) where the stomach area protrudes well beyond, then they're a bit over-weight (depending on how large the ( ) space is). If you can feel your cat's ribs really well, then the cat is a bit under-weight. Also, different cat breeds have different weights. For example: Bombay's weight between 7 - 9 lbs. but Norwegian Forest cats are usually between 9 - 23 lbs. And female cats tend to weight less than the male cats. A good reference book is: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Cats; a Fireside book published by Simon & Schuster. ISBN # 0-671-49167-9 It doesn't have specific cat weights, but it does have very good descriptions of tons of cat breeds and a great first part of the book that covers things like: history of the cat, birthing & raising of kittens, keeping the cat at the right weight with list of foods for cats, signs of when a cat's sick, and TONS more really good info.

I think this can very depending upon the breed and orientation of the car. Though I could be wrong about this. I have 4 cats. They all weigh 10-14 lbs except for the kitten who is growing fast.

Well I'm not sure there is any true answer to this because cats can vary so much - just like people. You can get some (like my smallest cat Lily), who are tiny, petite and small-boned, and will never put on weight, no matter how much she eats, and others like another of my cats (Sasha), who is a large, heavy-boned, athletic cat - not an ounce of fat but heavy because of bone and muscle! Averagely, I think they weigh anywhere between 4kg and 8kg - sorry - I'm not so good at lbs, but I think 4kg is about 10lbs.

Well, I would say the average cat weight is around 10 or 11 pounds. I have one cat that weighs 10 pouns and another that weighs 22 pounds. It really depends on the size of the cat's build, too.

They say... cats weigh between 8-10 lbs. All I know is my adverage is closer to 12-14. I have some big boys that are 16 lbs, I have some little gals who weigh about 7-8. One of my "little" cats is actually 10ish lbs, his brother tips the scales around 13 - & he's one of our more adverage cats. My little ones are girls, but I have some big gals too.

I have seven cats and the most one of them weighs is 11 lbs. My husband and I visited his aunt last weekend and she has a cat that weighs 30lbs. I have never seen such a fat cat in my life. She has it on a diet because the vet told her it will probably die in a year if it does not loose weight. This is the biggest cat I have ever seen.

I have two cats. One is two years old and she weighs 10 pounds. The other cat is about 6 months and she weighs about 5.6 pounds.

I think between 10-12 pounds but I could be wrong. For some reason we keep ending up with really big cats. My one I had forever was around 20lbs. We got him down some but he was just an all around big cat. I have no idea what our cat now weighs since she stays under the couch for the most part. I wwant to say she was/is around 12 lbs.
