Mr. B, looking like a distinguished gentleman, smoking his cigar…
Should have named him Winston
Hard to believe how much our little girl has grown… Even harder to believe that at only 7-1/2 months old and already nudging 35kg, she still has a bit more to go!
That’s like…
7 Bertils…
(The fact you’re not American makes me feel less like I’m picking on you personally )
But now I think about it, a small dog is probably a useful common unit of measurement, because most people are familiar with it
Confession:
I use house cats as a measurement.
I don’t know when I started, but it is a weight I have a feeling for. It is also easy because it is roughly kilograms divided by four.
That’s because unless it is a Maine ■■■■, Ragdoll, other large breed (or just what cat lovers call a “chonker”) then most cats weigh just over 4kg (9 lbs).
I am also German so of course I use full crates of beer as a unit (20kg or 44lbs, or around 5 cats).
Edit: Huh? C O O N is getting censored?
Apologies for the censorship, that’s probably my country’s fault (was yet another racist term used to belittle indigenous people
)
My cat’s almost 7kg… and he’s not obese, just a real house tiger! And he was once so small I could hold him in one hand…
Yeah, there are big boys. I also know a cat that is HUGE (larger than both of mine put together) despite reportedly being a normal house cat and not looking fat.
That doesn’t work for me. Normally our Burmese weighs about 3kg, unless I am in bed and it is 5am and she is walking across my bladder… In which case she weighs a ton!
That is a weight I am very familiar with - but not beer. My wife thinks I am a pack mule and that is the same as a bag of horse feed or a jerry can full of water.
When you stare into the void, sometimes the void stares back.
Don’t forget to slow blink
Those are some beautiful hairballs to drag out of your sinks!
Mr. B does seem to know he’s beautiful
Does Mr. B have some poodle in him it looks a lot like wool?
Merry Christmas Gaia… And family.
We have had to forego a tree this year. Conifers, baubles, twinkly lights, tinsel and ridgeback puppy is not a good combination.
