My pretty (big) girl Gumby B. Bendy Cat all "growed" up. She's very shy, but loves attention. She's my kitty & mine alone - no one else can touch her. And still
her 'Uncle Dory' with all her little kitty heart.


Playing tonight - first at a distance







- Then relaxing enough to let me closer -







- "Stalking" the toy -








And last Lola watching from the sidelines, we're working on her not being the center of attention & hogging all toys/playtime. So far not so good.

Aw, Lola Foofy Tail and Gumby (Holland's evil twin)! Two of my favorite TCS cats!!!
Gumby looks like she's gained some weight since the last time I saw her. I just love those inquisitive eyes.

I'm not sure which one of you is right! She's always been a bit of a 'porker' - doesn't eat a ton it just all goes to her belly.
I've been working on increasing her wet food (which means feeding her in the nook or cranny she's hiding in when I come around to feed supper), in hopes to getting her weight down some. Annual exam time for 9 or 10 of the kitties is in the end of Sept, we'll see what she weighs then! I'm almost kind of afraid to find out....

Holland's always been on the small side. When I first adopted her, the vet said she probably wouldn't get any bigger than 8 pounds; when she got her teeth pulled she weighed 6 1/2 pounds and the vet said he'd like to see her gain about a pound or so. Next time I took her in I was really curious to see what she weighed and she was NINE POUNDS!!!!!

She was promptly put on a "diet" (less portions at meal time) and if I had to guess I'd say she's around 8 now. She definitely seems less roly-poly than her last doctor visit...

I think she's disadvantaged with skinny legs & a little head - making her look "fatter".
At least that's my story & I'm stickin' to it! She's not quite two years old yet (or is she just barely two now? I have to check!), so still finishing up her growing. Lily was built like Gumby, & filled out when she was 3 years old or so, so I'm hopeful Gumby will do the same.


ETA: I just checked, she is 2 years old this month! She was born probably early-mid August, so right about now she turns 2! *sniffle* My little baby's growing up.
