How to weigh a cat
 

There is the obvious way, get on the scales with and without
holding the cat, or...

When they're hungry, have some food handy, plae the scales
by it, then place the cat on the scales. Mine is so intent
on the food I get a good reading (my scales read off in .2
of a pound).

I'm also able to trim mats this since he doesn't
particularly like that.
