The difficulty would come not from the weight of the cats, but the wrangling

And now I’ve got a mental picture of all the cats hanging off the barbell like that kitten in the β€˜hang in there’ poster. Plus a random couple of them balancing on top of it, for good measure πŸ˜‚

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.
