one kitten or two.

I swear sometimes I go to the grocery store only to shop for the cats.
It's happened to me several times that, while looking at a cart full
of cat litter and cat food, someone asks "I take it you have cats?"
;-) Always makes me laugh a little.

Well us humans can get by on take out etc, but for the furry ones we need to
go to the store.

the same thing.

Well, to be honest I probably could. I weigh around 125 lbs perhaps 130. I
don't understand why anyone discriminates again large people. One of my
best friends is so large, that no doctor's surgery can weigh her, she has to
go to the railway station to go on their machine. I haven't asked her what
she weighs - why would I? Probaby 30 stone 30 x 14lb. work that out. Why
does her weight matter? It's her choice.
She is lovely and has been a great help to me recently. Why does it matter
what size anyone is? As far as I'm concerned it's irrelevant. What matters
to me is not my friend's size, just how good a friend she/he is.

And to turn the tables, people don't seem to understand why it's NOT acceptable
for them to make "You're so skinny you're going to blow away..." type remarks.
They would never dream of saying "You're so fat you're going to blow up" to a
large person. It's just as hurtful, and it's the same thing.
Arrrggh. Rant over.

As close as you are to your friend, as kind as you are to animals, and
as just generally great as it is to have you as a correspondent on
this group, I hope you won't mind if I point out that there's a flaw
in your statement that, "It's her choice." Nobody chooses to be
thirty stone. As to the rest of your remarks, having read the things
you've written for some months now, I'd expect nothing less from a
sweet and kind person like you.

Regards and Purrs,

A few months ago I was shopping in Norwich. In the mall I needed to go up a
flight of stairs to the next level. I bounded up whizzing past a slim young
thing who was puffing her way up the stairs. She was with her boyfriend, who
looked a bit stunned when a middle-aged fat lady whizzed past them. I had a
smug moment to myself ;-)
