    I understand what you mean. Peppito is also pretty big (tall and large), and if you're used to small/normal size kitties you will find him huge His mom was very small. When we adopted him at 3 months he was already almost as big as his mom

    I have always thought Felix was a most handsome cat, and these picture reimforce that idea very well. Fat? Nah.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Hah! Felix was a scrawny little thing when we got him, but that was probably because he was infested with fleas & living in a wheelbarrow because as soon as he was healthy, he started packing on the pounds (and hasn't stopped since).

    aww, thanks!

    I just see him next to Gypsy, lookin' like this:


    And I can't help but go WOWZA FAT! It probably doesn't help that right now his butt is about 1" taller than his shoulders, making him just a very awkward and clumsy kitty all around. But I love him He's my buddy - he's also learned how to play fetch.

    Great pictures of two wonderful, beautiful cats!

    See, I'm just the opposite. I'm used to having a big kitty. Taz was 21.5 lbs at his heaviest. So Paizly always looks sooo teeny to me and she's almost 2. I think she weighs less than 10lbs.

    Personally I think Felix looks just right! You can tell how big he is in the picture of him and Gypsy though. But he doesn't appear to be TOO heavy. And with a face like that, who cares how big he is?
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Felix sure is growing into a very handsome cat. Males are usually much larger than females but don't let my Ziggy know this. I don't think he's fat at all. My Pearl is a petite 9lbs, Storm is my longest and largest cat and is 14.1lbs, Sky is probably 12-13lbs, and my youngest cat Ziggy Stardust,who is a female, is most likely 15-16lbs and I think she's still growing. She's as large as Sky but much heavier and she'll be 4 in June.

    Our last big big kitty was Mitch, and he died probably in 2002. Cole was our last male, but I don't think he ever really got over 6 lbs...he was a SKINNY cat (in spite of our efforts, haha).

    Thanks everyone He really does have a loveable face - I just wish he wasn't such an evil mastermind bahaha.

    I'm just SO amazed at how fast he's grown...here he was, the teeny thing we rescued [excuse the mess...we kitten proofed it right after this photo]:


    He had NO belly then - and since we got him it hasn't stopped growing! hahaha.
