I have NEVER heard of a 30-lb cat, feline fanatic!! Your vet must be furious. ;-)

That is ONE big belly he's got. But man, he's gorgeous. Is that your NFC in your avatar?

No, that is Finnigan the MC as a kitten bird watching.

Yes my vet is mad with me, I am mad with me. I did have him down to 21 lbs and we were doing so good then he started packing it back on. With 5 cats it is so hard to control. I keep the others food up on a table but he has figured out it is up there so my next game plan is to only do timed feedings and not leave the other's food out for him to snarf down the minute my back is turned. Another option is to build a feeding station like a dog house with a hole the others can easily get in and out but he won't be able to fit in. All my other cats are ideal weight but I don't want them to lose any either.

Ophelia is my Maine Coon quilt inspector. All four photos are same inspector - and notice she uses the same technique to inspect all quilts!

no they are British shorthairs I still have 3 of them. just as they were old enough to sell we got a bad batch of meat and they all got sick we had to treat them for 3 months to get rid of the bug that they had or it would have come back. then when they were well nobody wanted them as they were to old, now I am trying to give them away free to good home and still nobody wants them. they are so nice and such smooches I can't understand why they haven't gone to new homes.

Awwwww. I would take them in a heartbeat if you lived closer :)

I had a Maine Coon that was mean as a witch to anyone that walked in the door. She would hunt down strangers and attack them. But she loved her family as deeply as she hated strangers. She was all attitude, in fact even tho her name was Duster, we called her KittyBitch. A 20+ pound cat can carry some serious attitude on her shoulders.
She hated flies. My 6'4" son would hold her upside down with her feet on the ceiling and she would eat flies. So I have kitty pawprints on my ceilings!!
