Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007A Visiting Furball...
Today I was helping out at a Scout Group jumble sale. Into the car park wandered a neighbour's cat. A very large black & white boy - he must have weighed about 15kg (30lb)! Very friendly, demanding tummy rubs - but he didn't like being picked up :-( He's a very large cat (not fat, just large) because... the neighbours own a 'fish factory' :-) <http://www.jelliedeels.com/>  SignatureMatSav > Today I was helping out at a Scout Group jumble sale.

(I had one who weighed nearly twenty, and it was hard enough to lift HIM to put him a carrier when required - when he landed on the bed in the middle of the night, it felt like an earthquake.) >> Today I was helping out at a Scout Group jumble sale.

I can imagine. Kayla weighs thirty pounds. I can sort of barely lift her onto a table or into the car if she really doesn't want to go. But she isn't squishy like a cat. I would think being lifted would likely be painful for a thirty pound cat. I mean what are you going to hang on to? Jo >> Today I was helping out at a Scout Group jumble sale.

OTOH, a 25-lb cat once jumped on my lap and nibbled on my ear, and I don't think I ever completely recovered. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War >>> Today I was helping out at a Scout Group jumble sale.

Boyfie seems big to me, I doubt he's 10lbs, more like 8ish. Do you have a picture of him?

Large ;-) When I picked him up, he filled the "cradle" produced by my forearms - that means a body length of about 30 inches (70cm). His girth around the abdomen and chest was about three "handfuls" - so about 18 inches (50cm). His face was about 6 inches (15cm) across from cheek to cheek. > Boyfie seems big to me, I > doubt he's 10lbs, more like 8ish. > Do you have a picture of him? Yes, but nothing to apply "scale", unfortunately. Indeed, it hadn't occurred to me that it may be painful for a large cat to be handled in the normal way (one hand under the rib cage, one hand supporting the hind quarters). As I worked for the National Weights and Measures Laboratory, and used to handIe brass, steel and cast iron weights from 1g to 56lb regularly, I got very good at estimating the mass of objects. This cat was definitely about 14-15kg! > On Jan 28, 10:28 pm, "Christina Websell" > <spamf...@tinawebsell.wanadoo.co.uk> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > regularly, I got very good at estimating the mass of objects.
