    The cat weighs 140 pounds as 14,000 (the elephant) divided by 100 as it is 100 times the amount is 140.

    14 lb

    Step-by-step explanation:

    10^3 = 1000

    14,000 lb/1000 = 14 lb

    Since the weight of the elephant is 1000 times the weight of the cat, then the weight of the cat is one-thousandth of the weight of the elephant. To find one-thousandth of a number, divide the number by 1000. 14,000 lb divided by 1000 is 14 lb.

    P. S. I feel much better for the cat.
