Fat Kitty

I've had my cat for about a year now. When I got him, he weighed about twelve pounds. Now he weighs over fifteen.

To put that in perspective, imagine gaining 20% of your body weight. Now put down the phone number for Weight Watchers, and return to the post.

He was a bit skinny when I first got him, so when I switched him off the Fancy-Schmancy (read: astoundingly expensive) food he was on because it was giving him digestion issues, I was initially pleased to notice he wasn't so bony.

But then the other night he came to sleep on my chest, and I thought he was about to crack one of my ribs.

I did the old weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the cat bit and while I've lost about five pounds from being sick, I discovered the reason the kitty snores so loud now.

Hopefully Fat Boy food doesn't cost as much as Fancy-Schmancy food. Or come with similar...digestion issues.
