Sunshine on my Rizzo makes me happy!

[Twink]

The sun hit our living room just right this weekend for our sad little no-flash "camera." So . . . pictures! Of course, Rizzo was in an uncooperative mood, so I didn't get any face shots or anything. But still. . . . pictures!

Oooooh, shiny.

Shiny....and itchy!

And, posing in a laundry basket. I think he's asking for a bath, don't you? ;)

These three are just random pictures from the past couple of weeks. This first is one of my all-time favorites. My in-laws were visiting, and my little sis (7 years old) looooooooves Rizzo. And Rizzo. . . tolerates her! :rolleyes: She wanted to hold him before they left, so I had her hold her arms out, and I handed him to her. And I LOVE this picture. I love it for the cat-to-kid size ratio, I love it for the expression on my sister's face, and I love it for Rizzo's "Hmmm, now how soon can I get out of this?" body posture!

Here's "my little man". . . I tell ya, they're all alike! :rolleyes:

And, of course, the obligatory belly shot. Does anyone believe me that this cat is actually kind of skinny and bony? Probably not....

That's it! Thanks for letting me share my fuzzbucket, as always! :)

Oh Twink! GREAT pictures! That last shot is my favorite also. Doesn't it make you want to bury your face in that belly??? I LOVE fluffy belly shots!!:D Rizzo is a very handsome kitty!!

Luring him in, are you? ;) Good for you! PT needs as many big Maine Coon boys as it can get, I always say. Tell Horace that he belongs inside, where he can be properly admired!

He is gorgeous. I have to say he DOESN'T look skinny in the pictures!! Give his belly a big RUB RUB RUB from me!

Skinny and bony? Not on your life! He looks rather plush to me. And the pcitre of your sister is priceless.

It's alllllllll fuzz. :D He's 11 lbs., but he just has this HUGE frame. When he lays on his belly, his hips are so far apart, and he's so flat, he looks like a throw rug. If he ever decides that he LIKES food, rather than just eating out of necessity, we're going to have a big old monster on our hands! Incidentially, I think Rizz and Pouncer could learn from each other about good eating habits. :D

LOL! Love Rizzo! My Mishi is the same way -- he only looks big, but he's very lean and muscular and almost skinny. Not that he doesn't eat a lot; he does. :rolleyes: :p

Oh yeah, MUST rub that belly! *RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB*RUB* :)

P.S. ... and now I'm singing that song! :rolleyes:

[trayi52]

Your sister looks like she is holding much more than she can handle!

Hmmmm, so this is the guy that likes to trip you and then force you into petting him?;) He is absolutely adorable!

[catlover4ever]

Oh you just have to LOVE that belly shot!!!!:D :D :D

[catcrazylady]

OMG! I can't believe he only weighs 11 lbs!!! He is bigger than your 7 year old sister!!!
Rizzo you are a fur muffin for sure!!!! What a cute and handsome guy you are!!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

I love all the pictures but I have to agree that the one with your sister is priceless!!

[Barbara]

Hard to believe that he is just elevn lb. Tigris is 13 and he has a big frame too but Rizzo looks bigger.

He reminds me of Catdad's Bob- a big handsome boy:)

[AmberLee]

Wow, what a gorgeous guy you have. And treasure that photo of him with your sis -- it's adorable!

[NoahsMommy]

HEE HEE....FUZZBUCKET! I love that one! :)

Rizzo sure is a cutie! I want to rub that tummy and plant kisses on his sweet face. :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Awww...Rizzo is adorable!!! I love the one with your sister - sure makes him look HUGE!! :eek: My Mom's cat, Cranker, is like Rizzo. He's hairy so he looks huge, but if you pick him up he really weighs nothing at all - just skin and bones, and lots and lots of fur. ;) :D (of course, that's not to say that I've ever gotten close enough to even consider picking him up.....:rolleyes: )
