I'll try to break this apart by male and female.

The reason I ask is because my girls look pretty small compared to other cats I've seen, and people always tell me they are small. They aren't skinny, just small. I was wondering if maybe it's just cause they're female.

I've always looked after mostly male and semi-feral cats, and they were pretty large. Maybe it's an indoor thing?

Samba-Age 3-14lb

Tubee-Age 1- 7lb

I don't know if Tubee is an adult, but I decided to put his in case he is.

I'd consider it an adult of it's over 1 year old, although my girls were still growing then.

My girls: Katie, who's 14, 9 lbs, Gracie, who's 8, 11 lbs, and Claire, who's 3, 13 lbs (she's my big girl, so we're watching her weight)

Peter is 3 and not quite 11 lbs, a little on the small side for a male cat, but my vet attributes this to his heart condition and because he's so darn hyper.

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Twig is 22 pounds.
Rocket is 13 pounds
Isis (last weighed) was 13 pounds
Luna is 9 pounds
and Neffie is 7 pounds

Isis, Luna and Neffie were all either feral or semi-feral cats, so that might have something to do with their sizes. Neffie was the semi-feral, she was a basement cat who was afraid of everyone and everything. She still goes into panic mode when anyone but hubby and I are around. (so do the other girls though they were the ferals.)
Twig, well we got him at 6 weeks(I know hubby didn't know better) from a farm, and well despite his young age, he was better off with us. Now he's a spoiled 22 pound monster who rules the house with an iron paw.
Rocket we got from a breeder at 6 months at a cat show. He was spoiled then and spoiled now, no fear little abby, wonderful cat.
I love all of them!!!!!!!!

Next to the World's Largest 6-pack
Raven - 10 yrs old - 11-12lbs. I can't remember what he was in May exactly.

Nabu - 10 yrs old - 8 1/2 lbs - his weight never really changes.

Stimpy - 7 yrs old- 17 lbs. He's a couple lbs over what he should be, but we're working on that. All food is measured. At his last checkup he had lost a few ounces. So I'm hoping he'll keep that trend going.

Where my cats are
Mooch is 14lb and Noodles 13. Mooch feels much more muscular and has always been a pound heavier than Noodles. Noodles is a lil bit fluffy, but in build, they are both a bit longer than my Mom's cats who are about 11lb's for 2 of them and then 6lb for one.

to be honest I'm not really sure
but I'll guesstimate
Sapphire is a small girl so I'm thinking maybe 7 lbs
Pandora is kinda lean so I thinking possibly 9 lbs
Antigone has got a big round belly so I'll guess 11 lbs
Demeter is a cow
I'll say 11 or 12 lbs
Medusa is also a small cat, but I don't pick her up so I really have no idea!
Gaia is not just a cow, she's an elephant and has got to weigh at least 14 lbs
Hades is very skinny so I'll say 7lbs for him
Poseidon used to weigh 14 when i got him but I think he's lost weight so I'll say 12 or 13 lbs
Circe is a little tiny girl but solid so I'll guess at 8 lbs for her
Dionysius is a chunky monkey I think he weighs 11 lbs
and Electra is still a baby!

Crap, I'm missing someone....oh! Nemesis
it's hard keeping track sometimes!! I think Nemesis is about average and weighs 9 or 10 lbs

Zebra (2 years old) is 5 pounds.
Milo (3 years old) is between 9 and 10 pounds.
Big Milo (approx. 8-9 years old) is around 25 pounds. He is really big, but not really fat. He's really, really fluffy.
