About
The domestic cat is a small carnivorous pet that averages about 18 inches long and weighs around 10 pounds.
It is the only domesticated member of the cat family and is vastly smaller than wild relatives like tigers or lions. Healthy adult weights can vary by breed, with males usually being heavier and larger than females. Thanks to a flexible spine and lack of a rigid collarbone, a cat can stretch out to nearly twice its resting length or squeeze through spaces barely wider than its head.
