Weight comparison list

[candes]

Ok now the lengths are diificult and very unscientific. But I am going to make a list of purebred (with papers) MC weights. The weights must be very accurate. You can give me multiple weights from different ages. I will update the list every once in a while. Please list the following:

Name
Sex
Age in months and weeks ( example: 0 months 2 weeks) - please round down
Weight - in american and metric kg- please also mention the method or if done ar a vets

Hey thanx Bubbles, I thought my idea was gonna be a bust.

Wow your kitty is huge! If your cat was a moggle, they should weigh about 6 pounds right now. You got 2 kitties for the price of one. Any chance of a pic? I would love to see him! Actually, I am dying to see him!

• 20 weeks 2.7 kgs = 5.9 lbs
• 24 weeks 3.5 kgs = 7.7 lbs

32 weeks = 4.23 KG / 9.3 lb
1 Yr 8 Months = 5.6 kg / 12.32 lb

Zack

13 W 1.6 kg / 3.52 lb
18 W 2.67kg / 5.87 lb
20 W 3.25kg / 7.15 lb
22 W 3.6 kg/ 7.92lb
24 W 3.8kg / 8.36lb
26 W 4kg / 8.8 lb
28W 4.31kg / 9.48lb

Can you all help me out by editing your posts? Can you add the metric or american conversions? It is too many for me to convert. I figured it would be nice to list both since we are a "mixed nationality" forum. And also list if home scale or vet scale was used? Here is a converter.

OK, done it.
But I do wish you people across the pond would come out of the 19th century and start using metrics...

Hi

To make it easier just multiply KG by 2.2 to get convert e g 1 kg = 2.2 lb

At the last visit to the vet, Marquis weighed in at 8.9 kg, he is 2 1/2 years old.
I suspect that he has gained a bit since though...

The vet told me he was a bit overweight, but i disagree...he is just a bit big
