Height and weight and size for a calico cat? The colour of the cat's coat does not depict its overall shape and weight. The average weight of a cat is usually about 8 - 16 pounds. Cats average about 23 - 25cm in height and 46cm in body length, not including the tail.
Calico (in British usage since 1505[1]) is a plain-woven textile made from unbleached and often not fully processed cotton. It may contain unseparated husk parts, for example. The fabric is far less fine than muslin, but less coarse and thick than canvas or denim, but it is still very cheap owing to its unfinished and undyed appearance.
