10 pounds!
Just as Cybercat predicted, I now have a 10 lb cat hanging off my face
(suckling). Levi went to the vet today and weighed in at this healthy weight. I was shocked! He's slim and trim but very solid (except for the belly pouch). Still no explanation for his frequent bouts of rapid breathing at rest, though. Very frustrating. He will be one year old on August 1, which is his guesstimated birthdate. I'm not quite ready for him to grow up, though... -- Lynne "We are strong enough to stand tall tearlessly We are brave enough to bend to cry And sad enough to know We must laugh again" ~ Nikki Giovanni, 4/17/2007, Virginia Tech |

My little guy used to do this while resting after playing, even at a moderate level, and outgrew it. He will be one year old on August 1, which is his guesstimated birthdate.

Lynne, I am delighted for you. He is one of those cats that you meet & you *never forget* if you know what I mean? I think that he is doing ever so well, & RS is probably right regarding his out of breath bouts. I am sure that if it were a real HUGE problem that it would have manifested itself by now.... Take the time out to simply enjoy your little boy. Of course he doesn't have to grow up yet.. Why should he when he has a mummy who is happy to indulge him too? Anyway, we all know that little boys take far longer to mature than girls do... I can't believe that he is 10lb already!! A little mean lean fighting machine LOL only fighting his tail though, LOL The Belly pouch is his mummy's little treat box.... Is he still sucking mummy's lip though? I would hate for that to end. It is unique to him alone & it is so Cuteee...... Any chance of more photos soon? I don't have a camera @ the mo, so I am having withdrawal symptoms here.. Take Pity on me pleaseeeee? S;o) PS: Purr's leg weaves and head butts to the rest of the crew too of course) |

He will be one year old on August 1, which is his guesstimated birthdate. I'm not quite ready for him to grow up, though... He's growing up strong and healthy! That is so wonderful given the scare you had with him early on. Watch out because some of these boy cats can grow huge before your very eyes. Rhett is one such cat. He's now over 15 pounds, but not a bit of fat on him. He's got the tummy sway thing, but you can tell by the feel of their neck and the thickness of the base of their tail. And of course the roundness when you look down on their shape. When I first got Scarlett and Rhett in the fall of 2004, the vet told me they couldn't be from the same litter. At ~9wks Scarlett was about 3 pounds, Rhett was about 5. But I saw pictures of them at 5 wks and their other litter mates; all identically marked and clearly from the same litter - 2 gray tabby females and 2 brown spotty tabby males. Soon after they came here, Rhett grew so fast, and Scarlett was still a little sickly, so she grew a little slower. She caught up and is a healthy 9 pounds now. But very long in length. After seeing the entire litter and how identical they are, I thought maybe they were Bengals, or at least part. Our vet thinks they are Ocicats. Wow, I'm rambling and a bit wired this week. Been a very stressful week and I can't wait for Friday to get here. *whew* -- Cheryl |

I know that sometimes it has been hard work for you regarding worrying about him, & emotionally difficult @ times for you, but he is certainly worth it. I love his coat, his individuality & his zest for life in general. It's "His World", & he just wants you to know it... And share your lip of course, LOL...or is that HIS LIP? He is a Pukka Cat!
