My cats are all full grown. Scarlett is the smallest at 6 pounds and Tigger the largest at 18 pounds. Tigger is slightly heavy but really just a large cat. Most of the rest are in their ideal weight of 9-11 pounds with 3 more a bit larger at 14-15 pounds (2 are ideal weight big boned and one is just too fat for his own good).

I love to see Scarlett put the bigger cats in their place. She is the queen and simply rules everyone in the house.

Adelaide currently weighs in at 9lbs...I think its a perfect weight for her (vet does too) but everyone thinks she is fat at first glance cuz she is so fuzzy

Just wondering what your cats weigh. What is the "normal" weight of a cat?


Thanks!
Susan and Cody
Depends on the breed of the cat. Some as little as about 5-6 pounds and some up to around 25 pounds.

Sphinx was a perfect 9.5lbs.
Kuce is about 11.5lbs. (close for her type)
Lil' Jag about 6-7 lbs but we need to weigh her.
Luvbug is about 18lbs - close to what he should be.

Cj is 8 lbs 12 oz. And is a really long cat.

Tigger is a big heavy boy but vet said he only weighs 9 lbs (i still dont think that is right cj is at most 2/3 his size, but closer to half!) I say closer to 12 lbs.

I have a question while we are all talking about our cats' waistlines, Cj and Tiggy both have what we call hangy downy belly its just extra skin like you see on a lion or tiger that just hangs down in a line down their bellies, not fat just extra skin. Just on their bellies. They eat plenty, and they are both tabbies. Tigger big and bright orange, Cj brown and black tabby. Just wondering if anyone else has this feature.

Well at last weigh in at the vet which was last Nov Gandalf weighed 13 lbs and Samwise weighed almost 12. Both of them turn 2 this year and I assume will continue to put on a little weight. The vet doesn't say anything about them being overweight or anything but then Gandalf has a huge build with large bones and Samwise is a long cat so I'd say they their both fine.

As far as that skin that hangs down off their bells, both my boys have that too and I just figure it's part of them being cats. I know when Gandalf's mom got fixed she no longer had the hanging skin so I'm not sure how common it is.

Cody has that...her belly hangs down and sways when she walks. I've seen it happen mostly in female kitties after they've been spayed. My male kitties never had it though.
