Comments on: Friday Cat Blogging http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2006/02/10/friday-cat-blogging-3/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

Sugarplum was actually a skinny, half-starved thing when I got her; she'd been picked up as a stray, and got *very antsy* unless there was food out all the time. I didn't even notice how big she was getting until someone else mentioned it. Now I can't see why she's not losing weight, since she only gets about half a cup of of light food a day and seems to be over the antsiness. I think she must be getting into the dog food. <em>That</em> one doesn't eat anything, though she always wants what I'm eating. You have me beat in Total Cat Weight, since Zuzu only weighs 10 pounds.

Pablo and Doug both weigh sixteen pounds. The difference is that Pablo has that weight on a Maine Coon's frame (no problem -- perfect weight) and Doug is a very petite cat. Here’s the deal.

This is a challenge.</blockquote> I think she was 18 pounds the last time I took her to the vet, which was over a year ago. She seems to have lost a little weight since then, give that I've had her on light food and measured portions since the vet lectured me. Now, if I could get her to *move* a little.

I have one pic (just found it in my files) but I don't know how to link it and I don't have Flikr or anything. Got an e-mail addy I could send it to? It doesn't show his full glory, but it gives you an idea of his mass... Seriously. I have one pic (just found it in my files) but I don’t know how to link it and I don’t have Flikr or anything.

Sebastian Aloysious aka Sebboooo, Mamoooo, The Orca, He Who Must Lean on a Wall to Wash His Belly..... Lauren, thank you for reminding me of poor, neglected Merle! Zuzu, don't catch the reference, but I did used to watch the Carol Burnett show when I was little. Guess my memories of it have been replaced by other shows. *sigh* I wish I had a picture of my cat (now currently residing in the land of Science Diet and other kitty playmates and Mom and Dad’s house) – last time they took him to the vet I think he topped out at 28 lbs.
