Lily was weighed today .. she's 7 pounds! I was amazed because I thought, well if Lily is 7 pounds .. Toby must be 25!! He is soooo much heavier than her .. I have to get him weighed again!

How much do your cat(s) weigh?

Wow! Lily is a big girl! How old is she? Romeo was just at the vet for his boosters last week, and he only weighs 2 pounds, 9 oz.!
He is just a little guy! He is 15 weeks old.
Sammy is close to 15 pounds. He turned 1 on July 4.
It is amazing how Sammy and Romeo wrestle around together, considering the size diference!:)
Sammy feels like a sack of potatoes in comparison to Romeo! LOL!

When i brought Dandy and Guinness home from the animal shelters (4 months apart from each other)..they both weighed 6 lbs. to start. They are about the same age...i think Dandy is a little older (almost 2). I weighed them a couple months later and they were both 8 lbs...and now they are both 9 lbs!! Its funny how they are gaining at the same rate. Dandy looks bigger b/c she is fluffier :)

nooo Lily's not 7 pounds thats crazy. I remember her saying she was 7 pounds ..and I pointed out how ridiculous that was .. she made a mistake or I heard wrong.. she's only around 14 weeks old ... I have to get her weighed again now cause she didn't write down anywhere how much she weighed.

Mitzi's a short, round 11.3 lbs. The vet wants me to get her down to 10 lbs. Good luck! :rolleyes: She keeps eating Mishi's food! Mishi was 13 lbs. at his last vet visit -- I think he's up to 15 lbs and probably going to be MUCH bigger! :eek:

Katie is 11 1/2 years old and she is 10 pounds.

Mooky will be a year on the 24th of July and he weighs 14 pounds.

The vet definitely made a mistake if she said that Lily was 7 pounds at 14 weeks old. LOL Imagine how much she would weigh at a year old. WOW

Wow Johanna!!! Hahaha! I was just going to say you must've been feeding her a heckof a lot since she left here weighing 3 pounds!! HAHA! Maybe Canadian scales add a few pounds ;) Just kidding!

Last time I weighed, Raven was like 7 and Ron was 14 or 15. Raven is really small for a full grown cat. She looks like she's about 7-8 months old, but she's 3-4 years.

Storm is about 12-13lbs
Sunny is about 10-11lbs
Cirrus was 13lbs in early April but is probably about 14-15lbs now
Sky was 12lbs when I adopted him but may now weigh about 13lbs

Sky and Cirrus are my piggy cats. They love to eat. They also love to play so they burn a lot of calories. Sunny is the baby and will always be my little one. Cirrus won't let me pick him up so I can't weigh him myself but I know he's grown since I adopted him. :)

That was my idea too:D

Filou is seven pounds (and he looks quite a bit bigger than Lily) and Tigris is 13 -but he is much higher and longer than Filou.

Ali is 10 years old and is 10 1/4 lbs. She looks a lot heavier than that, but she's just really fluffy.

I'm not sure exactly how much Jack weighs, but he weighs a little more than Ali does. I'm guessing that he's anywhere betweek 11 and 12 lbs. and he's almost 3 years old.

Snowy and Mr. Jones are both just over 13 lbs. But they carry it differently. Mr. Jones looks so much bigger. Snowy is a solid mass of muscle.

Now, Bella is 3.5 - 4.0 lbs and my best guess to her age is 12 weeks!
So, she's big, huh?

She was only 1.9 lbs on May 24, when I got her. (she was already spayed at that weight, I had to fight to keep her alive because of URI on top of the spay)

Orangina, my foster, came in at 7 lbs and is now 9 lbs of muscular girl!

Neko is 12 pounds. He maintains his weight.
Cookie is 8 pounds. Her fattest was 13- she was huge for a small sized cat.
Pumpkin in 9 pounds. She flucuates from 8-9 pounds.
Tama is 6 pounds. He's maintained that weight.

It's funny you should ask that question, I was just looking at all my papers on my crew and I was looking at their weights.

Tigger is 7.5 lbs
Smokey is 14.5 lbs
Tucker is 9 lbs
Mystic is 11.8 lbs (although she looks a lot bigger)
and Abner is 10.2 lbs

Last time he went to the vet, Cubby weighed 8 lbs. His sways while he walks it's so cute. He is a smaller cat or at least I think he is. I will have to get out the tape measure and see how long he is if he will let me. I think his weight has gone up but I can't always tell with him.

We went to the vet last Saturday, and Blueberry weighs 11.4 pounds. I wish he weighed less though.
Everyone who sees him says he's fat, but I don't think so. He doesn't look too fat, and the vet says he's the perfect size and weight. Its probably because of all the fur, since he's a Himmy.;)

07-10-2003, 09:59 AM
Emily is about 8 lbs
Tanner is just over 10 lbs (he is about 9 months old)
Bigodeano (a military foster) is big at 18lbs
Gay (another military foster) is also 18lbs.

We are going to work on getting Bigodeano and Gay to slim down a little, but everyone is healthy and happy.

The last time I talked with the vet about Tanner's weight I was told that the scales in the vet clinic are not highly calibrated (meanly there is alot of room for error). So that might be part of the problem with Lily. :confused:

Terra is 4 years old and usually weighs between 6-7 pounds soaking wet. She's a tiny lil' terror.

Hana is 5-12 years old (every vet I've been to gives me a different estimate :rolleyes: ) and weighs about 10 pounds.

Misao is also about 4 years old and weighs about 15 pounds. We tease her and call her turkey because she's all white and when she sits the right way, she looks like a turkey! We also call her WeissWurst "White sausage" because she tends to look like one while sleeping.

Beavis is a whopping 22 lbs.
The majority of the others weigh in between 15 - 17 lbs. and then Olive weighs 5lbs.

HayleyRosie
07-10-2003, 11:19 AM
Hayley is around 7 pounds and Mandy is around 4 pounds.

I'm sure Lily cannot be 7 pounds. If she is she has gained a lot since I saw her. Maybe it was ?.7 pounds. You can give the vet office a call and ask them to take a look in Lily's file for you.

aly
07-10-2003, 12:31 PM
Yeah, I was just going to say that maybe the vet said she's 3.7 pounds?

Wow, you guys have some lightweights!!

Fluffy, who found us 14 years ago is 20 lbs.

Lucky, six is 18 lbs.

and the "baby" Yoshi who will be 3 in a few weeks is only 10 lbs.

Ally is 9 pounds,and she is fully grown.

I have been told to watch her eating habits, as she is actaully TOO HEAVY for her breed (Bahraini Dilmun), they are very skinny petit cats - but Ally loves to eat, and as an inside cat I suppose she doesn't burn it off the way her "outside" relatives do.

Gosh after reading these threads, old Ash isn't such a heavyweight after all, he weighs around 14 pounds and Lexie around 7 pounds.

07-11-2003, 12:08 AM
I just weighed 3 of my cats today so I need to post the new weights.
Storm is actually 14lbs
Sunny is actually 12lbs
Sky is 13lbs- I was right about him
Cirrus must be at least 14-15lbs since he's as large as Storm but more muscular
Californians also grow big cats. :D

I think Kelcee weighs around 10 pounds now. We go to the vet on the 18th. I'll tell you then.

I'm not sure - they haven't been weighed since last fall and they seemed to have slimmed down a bit for the summer time.

At that time, Sid was 15 lbs, Joxer was 14 lbs, and Jan was identical to Bucky Cat in "Get Fuzzy" - she was 8 pounds of lovin'.

Ok ... I weighed Lily and Toby last night. Lily is, which is where the obvious mistake was, 3.7 pounds. Toby, on the other hand, is a little over 10 pounds!! He grew up fast .. I laugh now cause I have to struggle a little to pick him up with one arm :D lol

out of me 8 kitty cats, the weight ranges from 8 to 14lbs. evidently most americans overfeed our cats, i guess it's our fast food culture mentality. u should see a visable waist line on the kitty. i have one cat, he's a perfect weight according to the vet field, but sometimes he looks like the pink panther to me... :eek:eek: :D :D :D :D i guess i just need to paint him pink now ;) ;) ;) ;)

thats hank in the picture below,not a ounce of fat on him,you pet him its all solid muscle as the same as Walker all solid gerth.Hank is tall also,when he kneads me standing on his back paws he can reach to almost the middle of my back and i am 5'8".Carl is the only "chubbie one"I think thats because he was starved and dehydrated when i got him,like some humans,its a self defense thing because at first he eat everything,and we have a community food bowls and he gobbled everything.They all share 2 dry food stations and 2 wet food stations and a water station.

Dare I say it folks, but I think we have some rather plump pussycats here, who need to go on diet, including my Ash, actually when I adopted him as a stray the vet said he was in great condition and his weight was purrfect, I thought he was a bit on the lean side, but that's how they prefer them, he is quite a big muscular cat, but now he is a podge ball, and a bit on the flabby side, sigh.:)
