    Be sure to calculate the cat's hip to waist ratio and TDEE too!

    Weight yourself then weight yourself holding your cat, then subtract your weight.

    ... is exactly how wii fit tells you to weigh your dogs - works, even with my hyperactive Jack Russell Terrorist

    When you remove their legs, it makes everything easier with your cat.

    That's just insensitive. My grandma's cat has no legs and it is not funny.

    I'm not laughing - :( Well, okay, maybe I did snicker at that for a second.

    It's April Fool's Day people! Lighten up!

    That's an awful joke. We're supposed to be here for support.

    I weigh us on the scale together, then weigh myself. Subtract the difference and that's how much kitty weighs.

    I've been weighing myself once a month...so today was weigh in day. I tried to weigh my cat, Izzy, also. First of all, I put the scale in front of her on a smooth hard floor and told her to step on. She looked at me and meowed a question mark. I guess she didn't understand the proceedure.

    Since she hates to be picked up, I tried to nudge her onto the scale. She slunk around to the opposite side. I knew it would be no good to weigh her backwards so I turned the scale around and gently nudged her again. Repeated this a few times.

    I ran downstairs to get her treats to try and coax her that way. Of course she ran down with me and wouldn't go back upstairs. She just wanted those treats in the kitchen where she always gets them.

    So I ran upstairs to get the scale and bring it down. Put the scale in a paper grocery sack on it's side and slid the scale in. Tossed in some treats. Izzy was reluctant but finally walked in to get the nibbles and stepped on the scale. But, alas, I couldn't read it because the bag was covering the window. Don't know what I was thinking.

    I was pooped from the trips up and down the stairs so I gave up. She will just have to weigh whatever she weighs. The number on the scale is only an estimate anyway. And really, she hadn't used her litter box yet so it would not have been accurate at all.
