THE Fat Cat

[Gordon]

Well, here are a couple shot's of him. He wasn't too happy about me taking photos of him, I think he know's I'm poking fun at him.

See, he IS a big, fat, cat. No, he is THE big fat cat.

This is taken from me standing over him at normal height. Look at his paws, and his head is about the size of a softball.

dayyamm!! He's as big as a medium size dog. 42lbs is huge!!!!

Thanks for the proof.. er.. I mean pics!

 

[Gordon]

Thank you for the help. The photos don't really show you how big he is,but every youngster that comes by say that he is the biggest cat ever.I'll try to get a short video of him running, or should I say waddling? It is very humorous to watch his belly flop from side to side.

Pic of my big fattie.....Leroy. Tried to weigh him but could not keep his fat butt on the scale. Wont let me hold him either.

 

[twinsarehot]

wow gordon, that is really THE fat cat of the forum so farr....seems like everyone at least knows a fat cat. lol.

 

[Gordon]

Yea, he's a big one. How I weigh him is I get on the scale, check my weight, then get off, pick him up & step back on. He would never sit still long enough for the scale to operate.

- is he polydactyl?

- is he polydactyl?

I don't know about polydactyl, but judging by the size he could be part pterodactyl

This cat I am sure eats the neighbors dog....bathe at your own risk.........xsjohn

Them ain't cats, them's meatloafs.

 

[nj1639]

Gordon, your cat is polydactyl, extra toes. They're more common in the New England, Mid Atlantic states- especially by the ocean ports in historic times. Seafarers liked the extra toes on their cats for catching rats on ship. Cool.

 

[Gordon]

Thanks for the explanation of the multi-toe thing. Yea, he's got eight claw's on each front paw. John, that's a BIG FAT CAT too. Doe's his belly flop from side to side when he walks , too?

He likes it on the boat. I take him with me when I go out sailing for a week or two. And, as fat as he is, he brings home all kinds of dead thing's. From rat's to bird's to even an opossum once. I don't know how he gets 'em, but he does.

Oh, I should say that he was a stray, and a friend found him at a Dairy Queen. He won't eat ice cream to this day. Go figure

 

[xsjohn]

Gordon.......that wasn't my cat.......friend sent me the pic........monster..........my cat is jet black and only likes me when he's hungry........go figure......he does ride in the back window of the car.......started him doing that as a kitten....your's goes fishing with you....that's great.......xsjohn

 

[Gordon]

Well,no. He comes sailing with me. I generally don't fish when I go sailing. I am getting in shape for when I sail to the Solomon Islands, so he will probably come with me, so I bring him to get used to the boat. Like you did when Inky ( my name for a black cat) was small, so he rides in the back window with you.
Boo Boo (my cat) seems to love it. When I pull into the lot at the marina, he gets all excited & jumps out the door & right up to the boat. Kinda like that about him. Even the owner of the marina said thats a one of a kind cat.

Gordon, you may (or may not) find this interesting. I think you will find several similarities.
