Cat Breeds by Adult Size: Largest to Smallest
Compare cat breeds from the largest typical adult size to the smallest. Where useful, size can be read together with the separate adult-weight comparison.
How the size labels are used: Very small, small, medium, large and very large describe the breed’s typical overall adult body size, not a strict weight cutoff. Frame, height, length, bone and sex all matter, so neighboring categories overlap. Use the separate adult-weight comparison when kilograms/pounds are the more useful measure.

Breed comparisons describe tendencies, not guarantees about an individual cat. Approximate entries are kept separate from the canonical research record and can be refined as better evidence arrives.
