How big do American Curl cats get?

American Curl cats are a medium-sized breed. They can weigh five to 10 pounds and stand 10 to 12 inches tall. American Curl males typically weigh seven to 10 pounds, while mature females can reach five to eight pounds. 

This size range places them alongside breeds such as the Siamese, which usually weighs six to 12 pounds, and the Abyssinian, which typically weighs six to 10 pounds. Factors influencing the size of an American Curl cat include genetics, as larger parents often produce larger offspring, and nutrition, as a balanced diet rich in necessary nutrients supports optimal growth. Health also plays a significant role; cats who experience illness or poor health during their formative years may not reach their full potential size.
