Oh my goodness...I've raised a fat cat [Felix pictures!]

[JuniorxMyxLove]

So basically Felix is a BEAST. Lexi was a solid 9 lbs when she was last at the vet, and he's much much heavier than her. And still growing. -_- He's not even a year old yet! After much counting and adding and subtracting, we've estimated his birthday to be in June, which is right when our other babies are - Gypsy was born June 6 and Lexi was born June 13 I'm thinking Felix's "birthday" will be June 8, cause we christened him Felix on the 8th hahaha.

ANYWAYS...this is what happens when Felix discovers the prime sleeping spot - the top of Pepsi's cage. Usually they take turns, but I guess Lexi wasn't having any of that last night.

Felix napping before:


And then...BAM


REALLY?


*sigh* whatever.


ZOMG LOOK AT HOW FAT HE IS! He's bigger than my chunky monkey Lexi!


aaaand...right back to sleep.



Just in case anyone missed him And sorry I keep disappearing from the board - but school gets out in like 38 days and once that happens you'll have your fill of me and my fur babies

Your babies are beautiful, and they have nice matching colors

Why do you say Felix is fat? I don't see it in the pictures. I would say he is a big boy, but not fat (although he should be lean for a 1 year old kitty).

Kisses to your kitties

Fat and happy!! Nothing wrong with that.

They're both beautiful.......

Fat!!!
Felix is a bit stunned by that , the Found Cats say
In more diplomatic terms plush, well uphostered and grand ceratianly are nicer terms.
What a Dtnamic Duo of Furry Purries you have as Cat Companions

I know - they're twins! Sometimes it's hard to tell which is which when they go running past.

He's a big boy, and I mean that in the nicest way possible - I looove his big belly! He has a LARGE belly. I wish I had a picture that encompassed his wide girth...but he is very very big. I guess I've just gotten used to my petite little girlies all of these years! (Felix is technically our first male in 10 years and we always have slender kitties)

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.

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?

[cassiesmom]

They're beautiful and happy! Please give them some pets from me!

[krazyaboutkatz]

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.

I think he looks great. If you want Mutt & Jeff try Bart at 26 lb (about 12 years old) and Penny at 8 lb (almost 3 years old). Penny just adores Bart and he her. They love to snuggle on the bed. All you see is this big orange fluff ball with a small black and brown spot tucked into him. The oposite cornners of the sig. picture.

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.

[Sonia59]

Awww, what a kissable face he had on the baby picture
