February 2004: This Kittie joined us a couple of weeks ago. She's commonly known as "Stoopid kittie", though she isn't - she's just very, very cheeky. Although she may appear thin, she's actually very fat - because she worked out how to get to the cat food on the freezer. She's typical Siamese: can walk round the house without touching the floor and has a long involved route to the freezer top (that kittens aren't meant to be able to get to). So she keeps stuffing herself with the cheap catfood I buy for "everybody" cats, and all the expensive kitten food I bought for her remains uneaten in the cupboard, and her little belly ceases to be little............. She's bigger now than in the picture, and her belly continues to grow as she helps herself to copious quantities of the cat food that's *meant* to be out of her reach.... She is long, lean and very, very, very cheeky!!! We call this the "snake" picture! Thank you Jerry for another great picture. Photo courtesy Jerry Flattum, February 2004 |
