Aww. She's just starved for affection due to her lousy father who ate her fries.2 -

My Monique gets into things if I'm not paying attention to her. Things like cat litter all over the hallway, or TP all over the bathroom. I'm hoping she will outgrow it, but I doubt it.0 -

Do you think your cat could learn about taking turns? Or try a laser pointer aimed at the other end of the room.
Laser pointer has mass. Extra mass not allowed on the scale!
We have 2 dogs but they are generally not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom. PRoblem solved!2 -

Hahaha... Yep! I suddenly gained ten pounds from one day to another. Looked farther back on the scale and my cat was standing on the back of it. Crisis averted!2

Yep, there's usually a jackpoo/cat battle going on behind me if I don't shut the door.0

I was 3kg heavier this morning because my cat decided the scale needed her front end on it.1

I would be very upset if my dog could add his weight to mine. At about 144 pounds that would be a bit of a spike on my weight and bmi charts, which have been faliing nicely for the past 8 months.0

I would simply say to cat..."So this is how much I'd weigh if I ate you..." That'll get him moving.

Don't know why this is flagged. I think it's adorable!
Would it have been better if the profanity filter had kicked in?
"My dog usually sniffs my *kitten* while I'm trying to weigh myself."

The profanity filter definitely makes it better, IMO. Didn't mean for my dog's intrusive habits to be so offensive. Dogs sniff stuff. Especially *snicker* *kittens*.6 -

This big boy is a 12-pounder!
Aw, so cute!!! He loooves you! My friend sent me a picture of a cat on a rug with the caption "Came home to find him sleeping here" except, the cat was not hers! She now has two cats, lol.5 -
I feed mine right before so she is too busy eating to jump on.1

Hah. Part of the weighing ritual is shouting at Sirocco (one of my three cats) as he winds himself around my legs.1
