The scale platform moves, and cats *really* don't like the ground, or anything else, for that matter, moving under their feet. S'why they get off the scale as soon as you put them on it.<br /><br />So. To weigh a cat:<br /><br />1) Weigh yourself.<br /><br />2) Pick up the cat and weigh yourself again.<br /><br />3) Subtract result (1) from result (2).<br /><br />Done.<br /><br /><b>BSR</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-42733514032069940812014-05-16T01:17:01.645-04:002014-05-16T01:17:01.645-04:00I have this sudden realization that Tam is sitting...I have this sudden realization that Tam is sitting there, reading the comments and suggestions, and rolling her eyes and muttering "Tells jokes to Aspies..."Dranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082177597135236652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-29416078431991200832014-05-15T18:56:30.814-04:002014-05-15T18:56:30.814-04:00Cats are easily weighed in a cardboard box.

You then have about 1:30 to get the weight before felix establishes a new egress point. <br /><br />That's why you get the tare weight first. Because afterwards, the box has lost some weight in the form of ribbons and shards. Also, the cat may be cross at you for a while.<br /><br />Don't ask how I know this. <br /><br />Meanwhile -- I got a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge, but have not had good results with it. Maybe you've inspired me to pull it out and try some trigger pulls. Kevin R.C.

Feline, qty 1<br />2. Cloth sack, qty 1<br />3. Fish scale, qty 1<br /><br />Insert feline into cloth sack. Attach sack to fish scale, lift from floor. Read scale. Gently return sack to floor, open sack, release feline. <br /><br />For some reason, popping the fuzzball into a soft cloth sack doesn't usually cause much in the way of undesirable random action by the involuntary participant. At least, not for the time required to obtain a gravitational atraction reading, but I would suggest all deliberate speed. Rubbing a little bit of catnip on the interior of the sack seems to help.
