These weightlifters are lifting the equivalent of 40 cats at the moment, if you were wondering.
Imagine 40 cats hanging off a barbell. I don't think they'd be cooperative.
The difficulty would come not from the weight of the cats, but the wrangling
And now Iβve got a mental picture of all the cats hanging off the barbell like that kitten in the βhang in thereβ poster. Plus a random couple of them balancing on top of it, for good measure π
There'd be wriggling cats all over. And they'd all have loud complaints and would need to speak to the manager
Each cat should be in a sock with their head poking out. There can be a handle to attach each cat sock onto the barbell. They will still wiggle a little but there isn't much they can do.
Ummm, whose job is it to put the cats in the socks? Because that would be deserving of a gold medal for sure!
They might need to borrow the protective fencing outfits with the full face covers.
There needs to be a cat in sock automated assembly line , we could get Heath Robinson to invent one.
The cats could be put in a big hopper with a shoot and underneath would be the open sock
Love it. They're now up to 46 cats, or 46 of my 5kg cat anyway.
