Measuring Up

So the other day I was sprawled out on the bed napping, when I heard some metallic noises close by. Then I heard Dad say "Wow!". I woke up and saw he was trying to measure me! Again!!

Of course I was mortified. They are so obsessed with the size of me. They refer to me as the giant mutant kitten.

Naturally I ran under the wardrobe to prevent any additional measuring. I was feeling confident this had ended this session. Of course I had forgotten all about that shameless butt smoocher Mr Tail. While I was hiding - he was proudly sticking out and remaining still just so Dad could get his measurement too. Shameless.

So the numbers you ask -

Nose tip to tail tip - 31 inches.
Mr Tail - 12 inches.
Paw width - 1 1/2 inch wide.

  4. You are huge, Quill! The only part of me that MAY be longer than you is my tail, which is a little over 12" - my little paws are only 1" wide.

  5. This obsession with number has got to stop! Whatever size you are lovable and that's all it matters.

  6. Oh my gosh! Big boy!
    I keep wanting to measure Leo, but he's too sneaky! I know he's got you beat in the paw width, because he's got extra toesies! But the rest... we gotta see!

  10. We do have to think you have a lot of Maine coon in you. You are going to be one big kitty. But nothing wrong with that. We think you are the most handsome too. Have a great day.

  19. I just measured Ollie, he's 34" long and his tail is 13". Paws are same as Quills. BUT, Ollie is a year old. He's fully grown. He is our Ornj Mutant. Clyde is too plushie and the measuring tape keeps disappearing into his mouth. We'll get back to you on that.
