That is an infinite set of numbers.

Explanation:

However, we can determine the range of those numbers. With the stated upper limit of 3.5oz. We can set up the equation for the total weight.

Total Weight < 7 kittens * 3.5oz./kitten

Total Weight < 24.5 ounces

To be realistic there must be some lower bound as well – each viable kitten must have some minimum weight. This expression would be:
Minimum total weight < Total Weight < 24.5 ounces
