Unhappy Is he turning into a chunk?

ok, i weighted Fluffy today for the first time on absolutely months......
I know i should keep a tab on it!
He is now 8cms long and weighs 100g! My scales srent the best and he had just ate, but surely this is too much???
Any ideas?

ok thanks, i have just checked the jackson ratio and measured him again and it seems ok. He is actually more like 7.5cms, i think the tape measure i used was out! (or my eyes were! Mustve been the wine i just drank!!!)
Thanks again guys!
