The million dollar question answered by the weighing scale: Who is heavier, Timmy or Cow?

Last night, we got 5 of the PatioCats weighed....!! We spared Daffodil even though she was watching the whole event and was even sniffing at the weighing scale. Heidi was sleeping in her tray at the shoe rack so we spared her as well.

Me, me, me...I want to go first!


mini-P5300967

Ginger tipped the scales at 5.9kg!


mini-P5300968

Rosie is 4.3kg.


(Tabs is heavier!)


mini-P5300965

Vincent is 5.9kg (same as Ginger).


But Vincent isn't fat. He is all muscle and very dense.


mini-P5300966

Mr Zurik is 6.2kg (about Bunny's weight, give and take).


mini-P5300970 mini-P5300964

We didn't want to traumatise Daffodil.


mini-P5300969

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy!!


How much do YOU weigh, Timmy?


mini-P5300971

6.6kg!!


Cow is 6.5kg, so...Timmy is heavier!!


So, in descending order:


Timmy 6.6kg
Mr Zurik 6.2kg
Vincent 5.9kg & Ginger 5.9kg
Rosie 4.3kg


Or, combining all 12 cats:


Timmy
Cow
Bunny
Mr Zurik
Vincent & Ginger
Tiger
Indy
Tabs
Rosie
Cleo
Pole

A game of hide-and-seek at midnight!


hide and seek

 Where did Rosie go?

And who is the heaviest in Bunny's Place?

Today, we got a free weighing scale, which purportedly weighs very accurately!

So, I took the opportunity to weigh everyone in Bunny's Place.

mini-P5300961

You can even check your BMI.


mini-P5300962

Tabs volunteered to go first.


mini-P5300963

Tabs weighed 5.0kg (right after dinner) and 4.9kg (3 hours after dinner).


mini-P5300964

You're 4.9kg, Tabs!


mini-P5300959

Oooh...we are all waiting to know Pole's weight, aren't we?


mini-P5300960

There is NO way Pole is going to step on the scale, so I carried her to weigh and then subtracted my own weight.


Pole weighed 3.1kg (right after dinner) and 3.4kg (3 hours after dinner)!


HOW did that happen??


mini-P5300968

Er...shall we just take it as 3.1kg then?


My son, Jia-Wen, weighed more than that at birth!


mini-P5300969

Cleo weighed 3.7kg.


mini-P5300965

Muscle-Man (and Madman) Indy weighed 5.4kg.


mini-P5300970

Not an ounce of fat, so he ought to be okay.


mini-P5300967

Tiger weighed 5.7kg.


Bunny weighed 6.3kg (3 hours after dinner). Now, he was 6.13kg at the clinic and the vet said that would be his ideal weight, so...


Bunny: Now, wait a minute there...wait a minute, the vet said as long as I have a waist, I'm okay, remember? And I have a waist, so I'm okay, so don't anyone make an issue out of that measley 0.17kg. 


mini-P5300966

Topping the scale is Cow.....at 6.5kg!


So, in descending order of weight:


Cow 6.5kg
Bunny 6.3kg
Tiger 5.7kg
Indy 5.4kg
Tabs 4.9kg
Cleo 3.7kg
Pole 3.1kg


Isn't this fun?


Tomorrow, I will see which PatioCats I can weigh....!!

Hello, you must be new?

mini-P5300969

Who goes there?


mini-P5300965

Mew? May I come in, please? 


mini-P5300966

Hey, are you the one they call Indy? 


Oh mew mew, you're legendary, you know?


mini-P5300971

I'm thinking of joining your Clubhouse here...do you take in members?


mini-P5300972

What details do you need for membership? Name? Age? Colour? Preferred type of food? 


mini-P5300973

Tiger: Oh, a new tabby friend? Oh goody!! Tabby United is open for membership. Want to join? 


Bunny: zzzz...


mini-P5300974

A meeting convenes.


What?? A new member?


NO!!


It's unanimous...NO!!


Tiger: Hey, you voted twice, Indy!! That's not fair!


And even then, it's just four votes...that's not unanimous yet!


mini-P5300975

We abstain.


Don't ask us. Don't disturb us.


mini-P5300976

I don't mind a new friend, actually, but I don't even get to vote...sobs.


mini-P5300977

And it's unanimous. It's a NO.


Stamped and signed.

Day 3 of Indy-bite wounds

Thank you to all who have written in and texted to ask about my Indy-bites and scratches, and also those who wonder if Path-Away is working.

Well, here's Day 3 of the wounds:

mini-P5300959

The blue-black is a bite wound.


mini-P5300960 mini-P5300961

The rest are healing up nicely. All dried up on the first day itself. I only applied Path-Away.


mini-P5300962

The perpetrator is seen here, chilling out after breakfast.


mini-P5300963

Hello, everyone! 


I'm Indy, your friendly neighbourhood cat! How may I be of service to you on this lovely morning?


(Now, THAT is definitely temporary insanity!!)

When it rains...

There was going to be a thunderstorm this afternoon, so I quickly went to do a headcount on the PatioCats.

mini-P5290964

Daffodil, Mr Zurik and Timmy...


mini-P5290965

Rosie...


mini-P5290966

Heidi and Vincent...


mini-P5290971

 

Where is Ginger??


If anyone goes missing, it is almost always either Rosie or Ginger. Rosie would be down the road with her line-dancing friends and Ginger is usually on the rooftop of the neighbour's house. I don't know exactly where his rooftop den is, but he is very prone to missing meals because he oversleeps and forgets.


So I went out to call for Ginger...


Ginger!!!


mini-20140529_134414


Here he comes...


mini-20140529_134420 mini-20140529_134423 mini-20140529_134431


Come on, Ginger...it's going to rain very soon!


mini-20140529_134434 mini-20140529_134517


mini-P5290970


I wish Ginger would just stay home and not roam...


mini-P5290959 (2)


Rosie too.


After all, the rest don't roam (Timmy, Daffodil, Heidi, Vincent and Mr Zurik).


Inside, everyone is getting ready for the thunderstorm...


mini-P5290968 mini-P5290959


Safe in the condo.


mini-P5290960


How about some food before the thunderstorm?


mini-P5290961 mini-P5290962


Let's just chill a bit before it rains, shall we?


mini-P5290963


I'm all prepared.
