Hi,

I want to settle an argument about the weights (relative and
absolute) of our 2 cats. problem is, how do you accurately weigh a
cat in a domestic situation?

Because of the uncooperative nature of cats the only method I can
think of is a "differential" approach ie:

1. Weigh human
2. Weigh human + cat
3. Subtract the results.

Problem is that our (digital) scales have a resolution of 1lb/0.5kg
which is quite simply inadequate for cat weight measurement with any
kind of accuracy!

Kitchen scales have the resolution but not the range (not also
forgetting the cat cooperation issue).

Any suggestions?

Chloroform cat then weigh it.
