You should be able to stuff it in a breadbox.

"Most authorities believe that the shorthaired breeds of domestic cat
are derived from the Cafra cat, Felis Lybica Cafra, a species of African
wildcat domesticated by the ancient Egyptians perhaps as early as 2500
BC and transported by the Crusaders to Europe, where it interbred with
the indigenous smaller wildcats. The longhaired breeds may have sprung
from the Asian wildcat, Felis manul. Over the centuries, domestic cats
have remained virtually the same size, weighing about 8lb (3.6kg) when
fully grown."

8 lb? That's downright scrawny! I'll admit that my older cat Arlo is getting
rather pudgy (he is known as a "fattus cattus"), but Woody is a lean, mean
fighting machine (a "dingbatuss cattus") and he's about 12 lbs. Even the late,
dyspeptic Stanley ("yackus cattus") was over 10lb before he slowly evaporated.

So American cats are obese like the average American? Is it the diet?
