How Big Izz a Gizzy?

Cecilia, the meowmom of Bubbles, Mrs B & LT thinks that a "Gizzy" should be a unit of measurement in the cat blogosphere. (If this is news to you, read the comments of my blog yesterday.) Naturally, I think this is a good idea, because I use it, but it's up to you.

Anyway, I know how big Gizzy is, but you don't, so I had the Lady measure him. When I think of a "Gizzy" as a unit of measurement, I think of him from his head to his butt. That's about 18 inches. So two Gizzys is about equal to about three feet. And a half a Gizzy is about nine inches. So Jasmine will leave me alone if I'm two Gizzys away, she starts to growl if I get within one and a half Gizzys and goes positively berserk if I get within one Gizzy of her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, I know it's "Formerly Feral Friday" but after my regular destruction of the Christymas tree this past week, the Lady isn't so sure about the "Formerly" part.

She was half a Gizzy away, and the opening where she could see me was smaller than even I could fit through. But I think she would have made it through somehow if the Lady hadn't pulled her away first.
