First, black cats are suppose to bring the owner (slaves) good luck. I had 2 of them and I had good luck, so it much be true. (Was so lucky to have them) You got some really pretty pictures of Boomer, I love his name. Sounds like it fits him too...

Chester, my Big Boy I call him now, weighed 14 pounds at 1 year but you could tell when he was a baby that he would grown into a BIG BOY! Bommer may be heavy by normal standards but is he big according to his body size/ bone structure. Chester never did look fat, just BIG, he is long and tall.
