Weighing Cats

We have had two cats for about a year and a half now. Today I decided that they should probably be weighed. Have you ever tried to weigh a cat on a typical digital bathroom scale? They'll sit on it for long periods of time quite happily as long as it's not turned on, but the second it's on... good luck!

In the end I decided to just weigh myself and then hold each cat while I weighed myself again, then subtract the difference. Luckily even Kita will allow me (and only me) to pick her up. Just about anyone could have used this method with Tobi who's rather indescriminant with her affections. Amazingly they are both 6.6 lbs, which is surprising since Tobi's such a pig I was almost sure she was eating 75% of their food plus any people food she can get her fuzzy little paws on (Chocolate, granola bars, potato chips, icheban, PINEAPPLE bits of all things! What kind of cat enjoys granola bars and pineapple?) Anyway, here they are. Kita's the black one and Tobi's the spotted one. They're so cute that it's hard to stay mad at them even when they do eat my favourite granola bars.
