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!

The easiest way is to buy more accurate scales. The human + cat method is
how I weigh mine, but my scales read to 0.1kg.
