Cat-to-Human Weight Comparison

What would your cat's weight look like on a person?

A single extra pound on a cat is a much bigger share of its body than a pound on a person. Pick your cat's breed below to see what that weight would look like scaled to a human body, which makes it easier to see why small gains matter so much in cats.

Don't see your cat's breed? Most cats are mixed. Choose Domestic Cat, or select the closest match by frame and coat type.

No breeds match that search. Most cats are mixed anyway, so try Domestic Cat and pick the closest frame and coat type.
