Days in the Life of a Fat Cat

I'm in trouble!

Word has reached me that I might have, ahem, a little weight problem. Okay, so I used to be 11 pounds and now I'm over 13... I guess I do love food an awful lot. It's just so easy to lay down next to the food bowl, tip it toward me with my paw, and munch away. My mom came home from college a few weeks ago to visit her parents and, of course, see her kitties. She doesn't know I was eavesdropping, but I overheard her telling her parents that I look like a sausage casing that was waaaaay overfilled, with a little tiny head stuck on the top! Okay, now I don't think I'm quite that bad... but yes, it's been a few years since I had what you could call a girlish figure. Anyhow, I think I hear my tummy grumbling... better check and see if there's any food left! Love, Zoe.

My first day on Catster

My human found this Dogster site and figured there must be a Catster site. She was pretty excited about listing me and my feline siblings on it, but when I took a peek, I wasn't exactly thrilled - there's no food involved! What is a girl to do when all she wants is food, and Mom wants her to check out a silly website?!

I was also mildly disappointed at Mom's choice of photos for me. Now I know that I love my nibbles, but really, couldn't she have selected a more flattering picture, at least one without my belly hanging out? Well, I suppose it does show my true personality and one of my favorite activities (you guessed it: eating). Maybe when Mom comes home for summer break I'll remind her to take another pictures, one where I'm doing a much more productive activity, like sleeping.

All for now,
Zoe
