This depends on ones perspective and understanding of how the metric system is built up.

If this cat's weight is 2.5 kilogram then this can also be written as 2,500 grams.

The actual "numbers" used to display the result is less in kilogram than in grams, but we also have to realize and know that the word "Kilo" mean "thousand"

We typically shorten kilogram to "kg", but it does not alter the units of measurement, of which is still grams. It is only the presentation of the numbers that will be different, but it will read out just the same number.

It is quite different to the imperial system which today have units that are standardized and described "accurately" using metric measurements.

Where as the imperial system also differ between USA and UK, the metric system is the same all over the world.
