The Bengal is not as big as its tiger like appearance makes it look! It is a moderately large sized cat, just a little bigger than the average cat. As you would expect, male cats are usually larger than females, with an average weight of 10 to 15 pounds. For a female this is 8 to 12 pounds. So don’t fear, while a litter bigger than average, they are still a nice size to fit on your lap!
