Me and My Fat Neck

This is kind of embarrassing for me to write about, but Mom is wondering if I have a fat neck.

I was the lucky winner in Toki’s diary contest this week so he pawmailed me to ask for my neck measurement since I won one of his Mom’s pawsome bowtie collars from her Etsy store. Mom measured my neck and wrote back to Toki that it is 11 inches. Toki wrote back to me and seemed a little surprised. Really? Is your neck truly 11 inches? Mom measured me again. Ten inches would be snug. I could probably squeeze into 10 ½ inches. Toki’s collar that’s already made is 9-10 inches, which would be a tad small for me and my fat neck. So now his Mom has to make me a plus-size collar ~ MOL. The good news is that another kitty has a chance to win the 9-10 inch collar.

Mom measured Luke’s neck to compare us. His neck is 11 inches too. He’s a bigger cat than I am, but he is not as floofy around the neck. Right now I am extra floofy since it’s winter. Even though it’s not cold where we live, my fur always grows in extra thick and floofy in the winter months.

Mom thinks I’m a healthy weight, about 13 pounds. Maybe my fur is just fat?

Love, Tully

I think it's your mane, buddy!

I was so excited to see that you were the winner of Toki's contest! You're going to look pawsome in your new bowtie.

Love,
Gumpster

hmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder how many inches my neck is... I can wear my bow tie from Toki's mommy, I don't think it's a 'plus size' one, but it could be. I am deceptively skinny under my floof though!

Hey Tully, It's not your neck, buddy! It's your glorious floofiness! You're so lucky.
I suffer from floof envy.MOL!
Oh and it's pawsome that you won. I think you will look magnificent.
Can't wait to see the pictures!

Thanks Pipo, River, and Milo! I'm not nearly as big as Luke and we have the same neck size, so it must be all my floof!

I just think it's cause you're a super duper muscular mancat. Not a fat neck. You are poofy floofy and handsome to booty! MOL

Lacey! Where have you been gorgeous girl? If you think my neck is poofy and floofy, you should check out my booty! There's lots of floof back there, too ~ MOL.

You have a beautiful mane, Tully. Very manly. I haven't measured Timo yet to compare but he is not floofy at all.

Tul-ly! It is your lion's mane of fur. Mom became curious and checked out your photos before, and she hadn't realized your fur was so thick! I bet if you wore a regular collar it would disappear! Incidentally, you are quite a good looking cat. Both you and River have such pink noses on your tuxie faces. It's like a cartoon kitty nose :)
Oh, and you guys are not the only cats with larger neck size than 9-10. Mom has made many collars, for sizes between 7" up to 11.5". Have you guys seen the Japanese anime movie The Cat Returns? Mom loves the character Muta, who is this huge white cat. huge.

I'm a pretty big boy myself. Mom has never measured my neck but she knows it's big because the cute little decorative collars don't fit me.

Your neck isn't fat, it's just mancatly. You do have alot of fluff too.
