It is hard to guess what a Marbled cat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) on average weights 2.83 kg (6.23 lbs).
The Marbled cat is from the family Felidae (genus: Pardofelis). It is usually born with about 84 grams (0.19 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 51.7 cm (1′ 9″). Usually, Marbled cats have 2 babies per litter.
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.
The marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) is a small wild cat native from the eastern Himalayas to Southeast Asia, where it inhabits forests up to 2,500 m (8,200 ft) altitude. As it is present in a large range, it has been listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List since 2015.The marbled cat was once considered to belong to the pantherine lineage of cats. It is closely related to the Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) and the bay cat (C. badia), all of which diverged from other felids about 9.4 million years ago.
