Well of course I don't try to make them fat. It's not like that's what I prefer.
Although, being able to actually put your arms around a cat is kind of cool actually.
One of our cats, Putty, was a large, white male. He was an outdoor cat. He came in in the winter and sometimes at night, but he mostly stayed outside and roamed the neighborhood. I think his fatness actually saved him a few times though. This is the one that fought off a raccoon, chased dogs out of the yard, got hit by a trash truck and was run over by my dad's truck. None of those things killed him. His encounter with the trash truck did break his hip. He died at age 13 of kidney failure.
My other cat, Mittens, who we raised from a kitten, got big and fat. He was a Burmese/tabby mix. He was strictly an inside cat, so he got less exercise. He died at age 13 of kidney failure too.
Our last cat, Jodie, was small and thin though, and he died at 2 years old last year. He had a tumor. He was a tabby.
Right now I have another Burmese mix, named Jules. He's just as big as Mittens was.
And we also have Waldo, who is a tan/orange color. He's probably the smallest cat we've had. He's about a year old.
