Persian cat Size
There is no size class on this page, and that is deliberate. Dog breeds have a widely used small/medium/large/giant convention; we found no equivalent published classification for cats. So the honest answer to how big a Persian cat gets is the weight above — 8–15 lb — and nothing more precise than that.
Common questions
How much does a full-grown Persian cat weigh?
A Persian cat weighs 8–15 lb (3.5–7 kg) as an adult. That is the mass Wikidata publishes for the breed under a CC0 license, re-checked here every week.
Why is there a range instead of one weight?
Because the source publishes a range. Weight varies within any breed with sex, genetics and health, and a mixed-breed cat usually falls between its parents' breeds. Narrowing 8–15 lb down to a single number would look more precise while being less true.
Does this page say what size class the Persian cat is?
No, and that is deliberate. Dog breeds have a widely used small/medium/large/giant convention; we found no equivalent published classification for cats. Rather than invent one, this page gives the weight and stops there.

Weight varies within the Persian cat by sex, genetics and health, and mixed-breed cats fall between their parents. This is a typical range, not a guarantee.
