Go into bathroom. Get on scale. Note weight read-out. Get off scale. Go
find kat. Pick up kat. Go to bathroom. Get on scale with kat. Note
weight read-out. Get off scale. Take little read-out number and
subtract it from big read-out number. Left-over number is weight of
kat. Hope this helps..

That's what I do to answer the question "What is an accurate estimate of
the weight of this cat?"

The question I'm interested in is "What weight should this cat ideally
be, in order to be fit and healthy?"

That is not so easy to answer.

Oh... I see. You should have made that clear from the start. I'd say to
use a ratio and proportion formula. Use human weights and measurements
and then just ratio them down. After all... both species are mammals,
you know.


A Maine Coon can weigh twenty pounds.

The average black male here hovers at around 185. Nothing but muscles,
scars, more scars on top of those scars, and usually a
more-than-adequate impregnation tool. No brain, though.

This cat is a mixture.
And so furry you can't really get close enough to feel his ribs
properly.

Wet him down, Kris. That's the ticket.
