Tom Sinclair Speaker-to-Suits That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?" -- (Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett)

One thing that I do know, is that when we bug-bombed the apartment and had to carry out the cats, that we could hardly lift them. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

Post #27,583 by nking 2/6/02 9:01:20 PM Reply	Clarification We moved the cats out of the apartment before we bugbombed the apartment. This was around 1988 that we did this. The cats were huge, ate a lot, and didn't get out much. Stayed in the apartment and slept a lot when they weren't laying on the keyboard or swatting at it. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

According to [link\|http://www.catscans.com/facts.htm\|this] the record for a domestic cat is a little less than 47 pounds. According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the heaviest cat on record was Himmy, an Australian cat, who weighed 46 pounds, 15.25 ounces in 1986. Himmy's waist was 33 inches! The previous record-holder had been Spice, a ginger-and-white tom cat from Connecticut, who weighed 43 pounds when he died in 1977. A mountain lion/puma weighs up to 200 pounds according to some WWW pages out there... Cheers, Scott.

The thing about cats is that when they don't want to be picked up, they can seem to be heavier than they really are. But one thing that I know for sure, those cats were really heavy, heavier than any other domestic cat I've picked up before. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
