A domestic cat has a brain size of approximately 5 cm in length and 30 grams in weight. Larger cats such as lions and tigers have larger brains, but brain size and intelligence is not always relative to body size.

Cat brains are incredibly small. They are just5 centimeters (2 inches) long and weigh just 25–30 grams (0.9 to 1.1 ounces). In comparison the brain of a human weighs ~1400 grams. This is why cats get confused so easily and why they are so hard to train, because they have very low intelligence.
