Standard Silkies and Bantam Silkies?

[WestKnollAmy]

I like my Silkies small just like I do my Cochins. I have the standard Cochins but they are not as cool or as lovable as my bantams.
I do not think I could cuddle my Silkies if they were as large.

This may be a silly question, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere....

How big, exactly, are silkies? The size of a cat? How tall are they, typically?
