There are about 250 breeds of domestic cat, whose
weight varies between 2.5 and 12 kg, placing the species
in the category of small to medium-sized domestic
animal. As with some dog breeds that have this same
weight range, the domestic cat can live between fifteen

States there are more domestic cats than dogs. Recent
estimates indicate that, soon, Brazil will show this same
characteristic, starting to have a larger feline than canine
population in their homes.
