A cat's height is the distance from the animal's withers to the floor.

This characteristic is important if you plan to participate in exhibitions and competitions with your pet.

You also need to know the height of your meowing pet, for example, in order to buy him clothes. Even if you are driven by simple curiosity, you should act as follows.

Wait until your pet is in a calm state of mind and place him near the door, then make a mark on the door leaf using a pencil.

All that remains is to measure the required distance using a ruler or meter.

If your pet has a violent nature, this method of measuring height will not work.

In this situation, try placing a piece of paper under the sleeping cat and, following the old pattern, leaving marks, after which you will have to use a ruler to find out the cat's height.

Important: do not forget to make an allowance for the hair. To ensure that long hair does not affect the accuracy of the measurements, you should smooth the hairs and only then take measurements.
