It is hard to guess what a Geoffroy’s cat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Geoffroy’s cat (Oncifelis geoffroyi) on average weights 2.73 kg (6.02 lbs).
The Geoffroy’s cat is from the family Felidae (genus: Oncifelis). It is usually born with about 91 grams (0.2 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 57.6 cm (1′ 11″). On average, Geoffroy’s cats can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 2.
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
Geoffroy’s cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) is a wild cat native to the southern and central regions of South America. It is about the size of a domestic cat. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List because it is widespread and abundant over most of its range.
