The original is better, but huge... I had to reduce the file size a lot by reducing the pic size and cutting the jpeg quality a bit. Sometimes Stella wishes she could reduce Lily a bit, but dieting is not Lily's forte.

Kitty says STOP THAT! Hope Lily is receptive to hugs... or at least to pats. She obviously approves of food!
ReplyDeleteellroon, Lily is the largest cat I've ever lived with, one of the largest domestic cats I've ever seen, and it does affect her personality. She doesn't like me much, probably because of how I treated her when Stella first brought her home: Lily was forever deliberately making trouble (e.g., pouncing on my wheelchair and sticking a paw into the spokes, requiring me to screech to a halt in abject terror of harming her). Lily is the exact opposite of Esther, who is her biological mother. Esther, who loves me dearly, seems to glare at Lily as if to say, why haven't you gone out and found your own food sources and associates yet? From a mother cat's point of view, Esther's grievance is surely legitimate. Some human kids are like that: as long as there's a free feed at Mom and Dad's house, they stay there. But Stella loves both of them, and we all accommodate as best we can.
DeleteWe have one like that here -- he's 32 and it looks like we'll be moving to a smaller place this summer just so he'll go on his own . . .
Deletec, 32 really is too old to be living at home, large house or not. Esp. in America, doing so smells of immaturity. Yes, I know I'm being judgmental.

DeleteSteve, I completely agree with you ---- there are some extenuating circumstances, but not enough at this point .... I just want the young b-i-l out of the house and on his own to the point where I'm forcing the issue by moving to a smaller home.
Deletec, I, for one, don't blame you. I don't care what is usual in other countries; living with a parent into adulthood... hell, into one's thirties... is unacceptable. Go for it, c; send him on his way.
DeleteSteve --- and this particular relative is not even from another country, so he doesn't have that excuse! And 7 years towards a BS is enough!
DeleteLily is... big. I thought TMF was big, but Lily makes TMF look svelte!
ReplyDelete'Tux, it's a choice: starve Lily (who needs to lose) and as a result starve Esther (who on the whole does not), or have Stella (or me) stay home all day to monitor Lily's food intake (ain't gonna happen; Stella still works full time). Lily is unhealthily heavy; we admit that. But she's also manifestly emotionally disturbed, and no one (in this household, at least) is suggesting we hire a kitty psychologist to address that problem. Pet cats have little enough freedom regarding their lives; in Lily's case, I think we'll let her win this one: hers will be a shorter but happier life.
DeleteFortunately, only Esther wants to sit on my lap...
Yes, I had the same issue with TMF and Mencken, Mencken's health problems meant I had to keep food out for him at all times because he ate when he was ready to eat and no other time, which meant TMF got too fat. Now that TMF is an only cat, he gets less food. But even at a couple of pounds lighter, he's still too heavy :(.
