Question 1

Are all the pictured foods weightless?

Accepted Answer

The scale is accurate. Digital food weighs 0.00

Question 2

Could this scale be used to weigh a small cat under 10lbs if I put cat in a box?

Accepted Answer

"Schrodinger's cat" LOL! Patricia, I use my scale to weigh my parrot. i just have to get him to hold still for a second which I do by holding an almond in front of him. Cats usually momentary freeze when they see something interesting to them as well. Alternatively, you could make an odd sound, like a distressed mouse squeak. Your cat will probably freeze at that in order to determine where the noise is coming from. Let the cat play in the box before you put it on the scale so she/he will be used to being in it.

Question 3

Why are you using horribly faked superimposed photos of food?  It throws off the scale of the product!

Accepted Answer

That's for "scale" (it's small: you put food on it, not people). Yes, these are definitely photoshopped, which is common here on Amazon. (If you click the strawberries and then hover your mouse over the different colors, you'll see that these are the EXACT same strawberries in each picture. ) Take a look at the review photos for something more real.

Question 4

Does it also go negative?  For example, if I have a bowl with food in it and tare it, then remove some of the food, does it show a negative number?

Accepted Answer

I also needed to know if it would go negative 😊.  The reason we use the negative measurements is this:  if I am making a recipe, and I need to add 20 grams of honey, rather than messing up a measuring cup, you put the open honey jar (you don't want to include cap weight) on the scale and tare or "zero" it.  Then, pick up the honey, put in about what you think is about 65% of your desired weight.  Then put the honey jar back on the scale.  The amount it shows in a negative number is the number of units (for me, usually grams) that you added to your recipe.   Repeat pouring in until the scale registers as a negative number what you were looking to add (in this example, at the end it would say -20g).
