The average cat weighs 8-10 pounds. That's 3.5 to 4.5 kilograms (35-45 grams); for the sake of singularity, let's go with 40 grams. Density = mass / volume, but there is no known measurement for cat density. So we'll go with what this guy got:

He got 648 cubic inches, so in metric that is 10.6188 litres.

The average cat (or at least his) is 10.62 litres. Hope this helps!

Check your metric conversions , 4.5Kg is not equal to 45 grams.

Simple to find out; submerge the cat in container of water and measure the amount of water displaced by the cat.

-It may struggle at first, but just wait a few minutes...
