Cat and AB

[FP]

When I come on AB one of my cats insists on sitting on my shoulder and grooming my hair thoroughly!  I end up with soggy hair (yuk).  Anybody else's cat have this habit!

No, he'd probably break my shoulder - I took him to the vet last week and he weighs in at a whopping 18lb!  He does insist on sitting on my book/ newspaper/ magazine if I am reading though, or head butts the receiver if I am on the phone.

Before you all shout at me though, he is just huge and not overweight in the slightest, the vet even said that he's bigger than most Jack Russell's she has to see to!  He also chased off a Pitt Bull than came sniffing around him.

I thought of your cat as I posted this question, Natalie.  You had mentioned his size before.  He sounds such a character.  The cat who perches on our shoulders, Millie, weighs in at about 6lbs. and is miniscule.  She is fully grown but had a bad start in life which stunted her growth.

Diego was a stray, I wanted to take in his bro's and sis's as well as hi mum, but couldn't at the time :(  I often think of them as they were so scrawny and little, but he's a strapping lad now ad I love him to bits!  All my friends think he's a tiger and are too scared to play with him!

Poor Millie, she sounds so cute though, its nice that she feels confident enough to perch on your shoulder if she didn't have too good a start - she only weighs a third of Diego!

A friend of mine gave birth to twins last week and they only weighed 3.5lb each (they're all fine though) which is a fifth of the weight of my cat!
