Outing the Edster!

[RICHARD]

LOL,
I finally bought a scale and one of the first things I did was step on and pick up the Edster.


He weighed in at a svelte 15 pounds, I fell asleep this morning at 4 a.m. and woke up at 7:30 with him still on my chest, so, he's not THAT FAT!

OUT YOUR KITTY,

I am curious!

Erp is outed at 13 pounds.

Morgan was 18.25 the last time he was weighed at the vet's office. He had been over 19 at one point. I have trouble getting an accurate measurement with my home scale.

I have trouble getting an accurate measurement with my home scale.

Are you trying to get the FurKid to 'stand quietly' on the scale whilst
waiting for the reading to settle?



Prolly not gonna happen in this Century!
Here's the 'trick' to a reasonably accurate home scale weigh-in.

* Grab da Kat, Dawg, Hamster or what-have-you and hold him/her tightly
* Hop on the scale whilst HOLDING the FurKid
* Record your combined weights - YOU + the FurKid
* Release the FurKid ... Zooooooom
* Step back on the scale and record YOUR weight without the FurKid

Do the math ...

Take the Combined Hoomin + FurKid weight (the BIGGER number)
and SUBTRACT (-) the Hoomin alone weight (the smaller number)

The RESULT is the weight of the FurKid

LOL I understand that concept although I usually get my weight alone first. I don't know if it is because the furkid is so big and I have trouble seeing over him to the weight, but my scale always gives the difference as much more than what the vet has. Morgan spent years on Science Diet Light cat food because we were trying to regulate his weight gain. He gained every single trip to the vet but it was never as much as I anticipated because of weighing him at home. I know that I must have a problem with the process because sometimes it varies a pound or more on different days. While I may gain or lose a pound over a day or two, the difference in my weight and his shouldn't vary like that.

Pretty Miss Cali weighs in at 7 lbs, Mr Diego is 8 lbs. Not bad for yearlings.
