The size of the average male moggie

Are male moggies usually larger than females? Most of the cats I've known have been female, and the 2 or 3 males I've known have been larger than them. MrCat is 6.6kg.

My fella was 5kg exactly for most of his adult life. He was neutered around 6 months. He's very elderly now and only weighs about 3.2kg despite a very healthy appetite.

His sister (littermate) was a dinky wee thing at 3.5kg. He looked enormous compared to her.

My Annie was 16 pounds in her prime, though she was very greedy and overweight (she's now a trim 8 lb or so in her 20th year) but generally, yes, my other girls are about 7 pounds each and my boys about 12.

My floof's nuts had a one way trip to the vets when he was about 8 weeks old. He's bigger than the white one in the photo.
I've another rescue boy that was neutered at about 10 months who is about 2/3 the size of him.
I've also a female British short-hair, a rescue so no idea when she was neutered and she's tiny.

Mine is 6.2kg. He was 6.4 kg in January and the vet agreed when I said "he's fat isn't he?" I've been weighing his food but the little sod has been supplementing his diet with sparrows. He has a small delicate head and when sitting down from the back he looks like a skittle.

Our Siamese boy is 7months and is 4kg , his sister is about 3.5kg

My old boy was 6.85kg at his maximum and his sister was 5.85kg. I've got two boys now, Boris is 4.2kg and Ollie is a very leggy slimline boy and 3.9kg. They are offered food the same as my last two, but I guess like people, you get different shapes and sizes.
