Aya was just too cute. I hope she forgive me for the flash as it was simply too dark to get a good shot. i luv the way she curls her tail up around the side. A perfect meatloaf cat.



Just so you can get an idea how small and compact she is here are two more. That's a regular size throw pillow.

Awww......what a sweetie pie! I've always called that the "Tucked" position, whenever I hear someone call it the meat loaf position it cracks me up.

Aya's marking's are stunning.

I know you always said she is a small sized cat but wow, she is really teensy.
What a beautiful cat! She has such awesome markings.

oh what a little cutey.
for some reason at first i thought she was lying on one fo those large 26"x26" "Euro" pillows. yeah she's little. i call that position the "pawless" position but i've also started using "meat loaf" because of some TCS posts

She's so sweet I had to look again. I notice some of her red patches have tabby stripes.

What does she weigh? I would guess 5-6 pounds. A large kitten size.

She is, beleive it or not 3.2kilos or 7 lbs! she's long and lean when stretched out. She's all muscle though. She just compacts incredibly well. I swear she's smaller folded up than our 6.75lb cat Gracie
was. Unfortunately she's not around to compare.

Okay now, here's a question. As I have said I call that posture the Tucked position, as in "She is Tucked".

Mazy does not Tuck both paws, only one. I call that the Half-Tuck. In fact I like to go a bit further and say "Mazy on the Half-Tuck".

So what would that be in the meatloaf or catloaf vernacular?

Left-over meatloaf?

Everyone is saying she's teeny but I am shocked at how big she is
I think the last pic I saw of her was when she was 4 or 5 months old .....
She's sooo gorgeous and adorable

She's a beauty!

We call that position "the chicken" because it looks like they are laying eggs.
