We recently invested in a scale so that we can keep track of the cats’ weights.

Here are the results of yesterday’s weigh-in: 113 pounds of feline fun!

No, I don’t know why Ms. Annie is so far off the statistical norm. She seems to eat as much as any of the others. But she is the most active, meaning that she spends part of every day out hunting. And Harriet’s just about a perfect weight.

As for the rest, I’m going to try a combination of portion control and diet cat food. Duke lost nearly five pounds in six months. Kili and Toby need to both lose a couple of pounds, at least. Romeo is a big cat. I don’t think he’s fat, but I suppose he can slim down a bit, too.

Maybe in several months I can get our total down below 100 pounds.

We’ll see.
