Aside from our mild weather, you are looking at Penny out hiking with me near the wife's office at Cornell, the vet came over for a home visit yesterday, to see our old dog Buster (seen outdoors in the post below). Buster is super old....but anyway, he is hanging in there. Look at the welcome Penny and Spike give the vet, knocking her over with love!
The vet is like
"Spike is .......wow. He is like a Kliban cat! I bet he is over 20 pounds now!" hinting around that Spike is a bit chunky.
I say "ZAFTIG" because I love that word,
The wife says "dapperly dressed"
How would you describe Spike the cat? Please go to comments!
a) chunky
b) dapperly dressed
c) ZAFTIG hahahahaha!
d) pleasantly plump
e) slim and trim
f) Spike crawls into bed at night and snores and has bad breath but has a winning personality
Well, C of course! Love the word zaftig, too. As far as the last one, we'll have to take your word on it. He's even bigger than my darling Homer, who has actually lost a tiny bit of his massive girth thanks to diet kibble and an exercise program consisting of making him chase after the treats he begs for.
ReplyDeleteHe is looking a bit on the round side..but that could be winter coat fluffed up!
ReplyDeleteHe is certainly a Large Cat!!!!
Oh, Zaftig for sure. Spike's a cat after my own heart...well, at least my own physique.
ReplyDeleteAs I told the vet : "this is Spike ON A DIET". Imagine if he wasn't....
ReplyDeleteSince super fluffy isn't on the list I'll have to go with C
ReplyDeleteWow! On a diet? I think he's a d - pleasantly plump, but you have to watch out for lower urinary disease in overweight cats. Just make sure he keeps on a'peein'!

i will say D. pleasantly plump, but will agree with Shannon about keeping an eye on his health.
ReplyDeleteSophie told me to say she thinks he is super hot!
Animal people are funny. There's you and Maude, skinny and fit with a zaftig kitty. Then there's me, more along the lines of Spike's shape.. ish.. and I have my skinny Skittles. Go figure. :)
ReplyDeleteZaphtig! and Most definitely a Kliban cat....it's his expression as well as his shape.
ReplyDeleteToes crossed for Buster!
Overweight yes, but since he can get around like normal, it doesn't seem too excessive. Just as long as he is healthy, some extra weight doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteG- Stylishly Sumo!
ReplyDeleteSpike is built like a favorite pillow---and that is very cozy for cuddling. And yes---a Kliban cat is true---and cool! GO SPIKE!
ReplyDeleteChief is no lightweight either---he has weighed 15.4 lbs. since I got him. And we are both happy with that.
Zaftig. Also sleek. And adorable!
ReplyDeleteHe's awesomely huge.
ReplyDeleteSUMO!!!!! PILLOW!!!!! hahaha :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna go with funky chunky. I sorta match that cat. He sure does look like a good snuggler! Our kitty, Maggie is a shrimp at 7 lbs. However, I am obsessed with that black dog! He reminds me of my BFF's childhood dog, Drake. He was a good one!

Spike is large and in charge! Sumo, yes. Does he really snore? That's cute.
ReplyDeleteHe's husky. And there's nothing wrong with that. Be happy with your husky self, Spike!
That's really cool that the vet comes to your house. I don't think there's anything like that in the Des Moines area. I wish there was! Someone start that up...
Pleasantly plump. Because my Mom told me to always say nice stuff. :)
ReplyDeletei'd just say hes a heavy dude...

ReplyDeleteSpike is stocky, and he is a handsome devil. There's more of him to luuuv.
