7-12-lbs Weight Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with 7-12-lbs weight.
Bicolor
A two-colour coat pattern, not a breed. Usually one colour paired with white. Tuxedo cats are the most well-known bicolors.
Birman
A colour-pointed cat with white gloves on all four paws. Medium-length coat, blue eyes. Quiet and gentle. They do not demand much but tend to be steady, reliable companions.
Egyptian Mau
The only naturally spotted domestic cat breed. Fast runners, capable of reaching around 30 mph. Loyal to their families and wary of strangers.
Himalayan
A colour-pointed Persian. Flat face, long coat, blue eyes from the Siamese side of its ancestry. Calm and quiet. Prefers a settled, low-activity home.
Himalayan Persian Mix
Persian looks with Siamese colour points. Long coat, flat face, blue eyes. Calm and quiet. Better suited to indoor living.
Persian
Long coat, flat face, quiet temperament. Persians need daily grooming and prefer calm households. They are not particularly active. What they are is consistent, undemanding company.
Russian Blue
Silver-blue coat, green eyes, quiet nature. They attach closely to their primary person and tend to be reserved around strangers. One of the calmer breeds.
Tortoiseshell
A mottled black-and-orange coat pattern, not a breed. Unlike calicos, tortoiseshells carry little or no white. Almost all of them are female: the orange coat gene sits on the X chromosome, so a cat needs two different X chromosomes to show both colours. Male tortoiseshells are rare, usually carry an extra X chromosome, and are typically sterile.
