What do you do with a 20lb. cat cutting off your circulation?
Edited on Sun Feb-01-09 01:00 AM by RevolutionaryActs
I don't know when or how my cat got so fat (I think it has to do with the neighbors spoiling him), but now my cat weighs 20 odd pounds and he's on my lap cutting off the blood flow. :rofl:


Edit to add the great fat cat:

4. Not a bad idea.
I know he's only giving me this much attention because he wants me to go "fluff" his food. He's such a pig. :eyes:

13. That's what we call it.
You shake the food bowl, so it all gets in the middle, and not pressed against the sides. You fluff it. :D

26. that convinces them you have fed them when in actuality you just rearranged
the food...if mine can see the bottom of the dish, they are automatically starving.

One demands that his food be fluffed several times a day.

2. I don't know. I was playing Scramble this afternoon...
when Dino decided he need lots of attention. Now. He jumped into my lap and sat there for what seemed like hours, until my legs were numb.

3. Make it into a hat?
That's why you've been fattening it up, haven't you? You should be ashamed of yourself.

5. Our cat Roosevelt (named for a good Dem) is also 22lbs. He loves to lay
on my wife head in bed. We call him the cat hat!! Of course when he start purring (and he does that very loudly) it's not really the fun!

27. First things first; get the puss to open its eyes and pose proper for the camera!
If circulation is being cut off, kitty has to be removed. Methinks your leg is more important.

49. I saw a story a few years ago about it.
There are still a few women who do it.

But if you think about it's not much worse than corsets.

Tall and long, and just big. His mom was a bob-tail, and there's some Siamese in there somewhere.. and I think his father was a raccoon. :rofl:
