Tall Kitty

In case you can’t tell from other photos, here’s one giving you an idea of exactly how large our cats are. That’s a standard sized desk in a hotel room somewhere (I think Kenosha, WI) and the cat is Aeneas – the smaller of the two boys, weighing in at 15 lbs. (or thereabouts). His brother is around 18 lbs., and is both taller and larger.

My favorite is when we bring the boys to the vet together, & Aeneas comes out of the carrier first, & the vet tech comments on what a big cat he is. “Just wait,” we usually say, & then Big Guns, as we call him, comes sauntering out. At that, the vet tech usually just blinks for a while.

& Yes, those are my pink flannel cat pajamas. They’re my favorites. I got them from North Shore Animal League, which is a no-kill shelter. They have lots of cool cat jammies (and dog jammies, for those of you who do that sort of thing), and all profits go to doing the cool work they do.
