Any good & cheap weighing scale?

I can't afford the premium brands right now, can anybody recommend a
good & cheap scale for weighing a cat?

LOok on ebay. YOu can get a good digital scale there fairly inexpensively
(around 20 o 30 dollars).

If you have a friend or can make a friend who has a strong arm (or
two strong arms), by a fish scale.

I recently bought a Berkley fish scale (FS2) at a sporting goods
store. The weight range, 20 pounds, is perfect for cats. It is a
small handheld device with a hook on it (the link is below in my
signature area). The price said $16 but they charged me only $8 on
sale. That model might be discontinued.

You put the cat butt first into a bag. Always remove or place a
cat butt first.

Then you just put the plastic bag loops on the hook and hold up
the fish scale with the cat underneath.

Scales for humans (IKEA is cheap). Take the cat into your arms,
weigh yourself with and without the cat and do the sums.

Put a cat in a plastic bag and hang if from a hook??? Are you a stark
raving lunatic or just a complete moron???

I don't think I even have to tell the OP to disregard your utterly asinine
suggestion.

Congratulations! You just became the new village idiot.

Thanks but I need something tame and mundane. As she's likely to try to
jump out or grab something with her paws, I would rather avoid hooks
and other pointed or sharp objects.

If you can't afford a Tanita 1583, here's a pretty good and inexpensive
Health-o-Meter Infant -Baby-Toddler beam scale.

Phil, isn't a beam type of scale rather awkward to operate with a
squirming cat?

It is alleged that Kiran claimed:

If you only care down to the pound or half-pound, just hold the cat and
step onto your bathroom scale and measure. Then put the cat down on
the floor and weigh just yourself. The difference is the cat's weight.

If you want down to ounces, I don't have an answer.
