Most cats are about 9 to 10 inches tall when they are sitting. This can vary depending on the breed of cat, as some breeds are taller or shorter than others. For example, Siamese cats tend to be on the taller side, while Ragdolls are usually shorter.
Generally speaking, though, most cats fall within that 9 to 10 inch range when sitting down.
How to teach your cat to SIT
A cat’s height when sitting depends on its size and breed. A small cat may only be a few inches tall, while a large cat can be up to a foot tall. Some breeds of cats, such as Siamese and Persians, tend to be taller than average.
How Tall is a Cat in Feet
Assuming you are referring to an average sized house cat, they typically grow to be around 12-16 inches in height and 16-20 inches in length. This would mean that their height in feet would be 1-1.3 feet tall. Some cats however can grow to be much larger, with some Maine Coon cats reaching heights of up to 3 feet!
How Tall is a Seated Cat?
A seated cat is typically about 12 inches tall. However, this can vary depending on the breed and size of the cat. For example, a Maine Coon cat can be up to 18 inches tall when seated, while a Siamese cat may only be 10 inches tall.
How Tall is a Cat at the Shoulder?
Most cats stand between 9 and 16 inches tall at the shoulder. However, some breeds can be much larger or smaller. For example, Siamese cats are typically only about 8 to 10 inches tall, while Maine Coons can grow to be up to 18 inches tall.
How Big is an Average Cat?
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the average domestic cat weighs between 8 and 10 pounds. However, there is significant variation in size among different breeds. For example, Siamese cats typically weigh between 4 and 8 pounds, while Maine Coon cats can weigh up to 20 pounds.
Some larger breeds, such as the Norwegian Forest Cat and the Siberian Tiger, can even exceed 30 pounds.
Conclusion
This blog post is all about how tall cats are when they’re sitting down. The author measured their own cat and found that they were approximately 18 inches tall. However, it’s important to note that all cats are different sizes, so this number could vary from cat to cat.
The author also mentions that cats typically sit down when they’re trying to avoid being seen, so their height might not be entirely accurate.
