And I thought my cat was fat.

[oxymoron]

Can this be for real?

[One Taste]

1. Holy Sh*t

:crazy: :wtf:

[supernova]

2. Isn't that a DUer's cat?

I vaguely remember someone posting this pic before.

Yeah, that cat is to huge for the word "huge".

[oxymoron]

5. I don't know.

It was sent to me by a coworker.

[Kamika]

3. I HOPE it isn't real!!

man that should be punishable..

Sadly thought I think it's real

[Catshrink]

4. Wow!! That cat is bigger than my Sammy...

And as you can see, he's a big boy!

[pansypoo53219]

13. shit

i gotta stop caling MY cat porkchop.

[Catshrink]

14. Sammy doesn't eat that much either

I think he has a thyroid problem or something, but the vet doesn't. He's due for shots so we'll test him again.

Imagine what it's like when he decides he wants my pillow! He allows me one little corner of it. But he's warm and he purrs. Sigh....

[Mikimouse]

16. WOW! Sammy looks like a younger version of my DC

What a gorgeous kitty!

[Catshrink]

20. He is beautiful!

I call him my "Love Bug" because he is so incredibly affectionate. He loves everyone. He flops on the floor, rolls over on his back, and looks at me (or anyone else) as if to say "well, aren't you going to rub my tummy?" He loves to have his tummy rubbed! My sister called him "Buddha Boy" and rubs his tummy for good luck.

[Mikimouse]

23. Dc does exactly the same thing...

his 'flopping' is his signal that he wants to have his tummy rubbed and play. Even now, at 24, he is still my bud, and the alpha cat (I have thre here, and my wife has number four with her in Louisiana)

[Catshrink]

24. He's 24 years old????

That is some special kitty. What do you feed DC?

[Mikimouse]

27. Yep, he's 24 years old, and I let him eat whatever he wants...

I made a deal with him in 1997, after we adopted each other (he had been abused by his previous owners, who had picked him up on the street some years ago, apparently after his original owner abandoned him). I promised him that as long as I draw breath, he will have a roof over his head, all the food he wants to eat, of whatever type he wants, and a place to sleep. It took him quite a while, but he finally figured out that it was OK to curl up around dad's head. I love the old badger, and he has been pretty good at accepting other cats that we have 'adopted' after they were abandoned (two, over the past 3 years). They are all sleeping at the moment, DC on the couch, Pooky on the windowsill, and Tootsie on my reading chair.

Oh duh, I didn't answer the question about food: he loves 9 Lives stuff, but prefers the Super supper, and Turkey and giblets. I supplement it with either Meow Mix or Alley Cat dry food.

21. Your Sammy is bigger than my Calvin!

[Catshrink]

22. I don't know about that...

Calvin is a very big boy! He looks a bit more muscular than Sam. Sam definitely has love handles!

[ScholarSeeker]

6. Yikes! Very unhealthy for the cat.

[oxymoron]

8. That was my concern too.

I was hoping it was a fake.

[ScholarSeeker]

12. No, I think that's a real pic

It's a real fat cat. Poor thing.

[DS1]

7. What cat?

:evilgrin:

[oxymoron]

9. LOL

Smack!

[ProudGerman]

10. I think I've seen that pic being debunked as photoshop

That cat wouldn't be able to move, its legs would snap if it tried to walk.

[oxymoron]

11. Glad to hear it.

I was wondering if those legs would even touch the floor.

[Stephanie]

28. The girl's thighs are out of proportion to her arms

I think it's distorted.

[Hand]

15. That aint a cat...

It's Rush Limbaugh's momma!

:evilgrin:

[Jack Rabbit]

17. That's a GOP campaign contributor, right?

A real fat cat.

[ronnykmarshall]

18. That poor cat

That's abuse.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. I agree-poor kitty!

:-(

[Cooley Hurd]

25. Kitty Crowley...

...mommie wants you to come home!

26. Honey, She Ate the Kids! n/t
