Where:

• Conversion Factor — Typically ranges from 10 to 15
• 10 — Conservative estimate
• 12.5 — Average estimate
• 15 — Higher estimate

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use different conversion factors?
A: Different factors account for varying metabolic rates and body compositions. Choose based on your cat's build (10 for slender, 15 for stocky).

Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: It's a rough estimate for size comparison only, not a precise scientific measurement.

Q3: Can I use this for kittens?
A: The conversion works best for adult cats. Kittens have different growth patterns.

Q4: What about very large or small cat breeds?
A: Adjust the conversion factor accordingly (higher for large breeds like Maine Coons, lower for small breeds like Singapuras).
