it varies based on the size of the cat. For example, I have 2 females: small 2 year old who is only 5 pounds, and an 11 month old, who is about 9 pounds, but a much longer and taller cat. To determine if your cat is at the proper weight, check out the body size charts, which have 5 cat body types, from emaciated to obese. The healthy cat should be #3 on there, which is right in the middle. You should be able to see a slight curve at the waist when looking down at her, the ribs are easily felt under a thin layer of fat, and her belly shouldn't hang too low when seen from the side.
