    Tests -- is your cat overweight?

    A friend sent me this and I thought it was great. Hope you enjoy it, too!

    HOW TO TELL IF YOUR CAT IS OVERWEIGHT:

    --1. Your cat door is retro-fitted with a garage door opener.

    --2. Visitors to your house constantly mistake him/her for a beanbag chair.

    --3. He/She waits for the third bowl of food before getting finicky.

    --4. There are fewer calls to the fire department, but there is a sudden upsurge in
    broken branches.

    --5. He/she no longer cleans himself unless coated in Cheese Whiz.

    --6. After a fifteen month gestation period, there are still no kittens!

    --7. It's no longer safe to lift him/her without a spotter.

    --8. He/she only catches mice that get trapped in his gravitational pull.

    --9. His/her enormous tummy keeps your hardwood floors freshly buffed.

    --10. He/She has more chins than lives.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    Oh, no! The mighty pull of gravity around our own dear Big has sucked his pet boy into his orbit! What will be the next installment in this story? Tune in next week ....

    Oh Leah, what a great picture. Check out those feet - especially the hind paw.

    When you can do that with a cat, you just have to be a special person. You have to earn that wonderful trust!

    By the way, Rascal said, that's not fat, that's fluff!!

    Gini, sometimes I'll walk into the room where Big is napping, and he looks for all the world like he's sound asleep - but he gives himself away once I see his toes are curling under!

    Leah!

    You are just hysterically funny! How could anyone mistake Big for a beanbag chair? [Now a beanbag couch on the other hand!!!]

    Uh oh, Amber's being mean to sweet ol' Bigster.
