How many neurons does a cat have in it's brain?
The average cat brain is about 5 centimeters long and weighs 30 grams. Its been proven that the physical structure of human brains and that of cats are very similar; both have the same lobes in the cerebral cortex (the "seat" of intelligence). A cat has 300,000,000 neurons in the cerebral cortex of its brain. Thanks for asking ChaCha!

About Neurons
The Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the body. These highly specialized nerve cells are responsible for communicating information in both chemical and electrical forms.
