Sausage

This is Sausage, our 25lb, 15 year old tubby tabby.

His day basically consists of what you see: laying around before or after dealing with his food bowl. Ah, please let me tell you about his food bowl: if he can even see one tiny, microscopic bit of bowl at the bottom, he insists that we fill the bowl again to a level he feels more comfortable with.

He doesn't look like it, but he does get some exercise, which consists mosty of herding me to the food bowl, or flexing his rear end as he uses the cat box. He does manage up a kind of run every once in awhile. Actually, who are we kidding? It's really a slow jog.

But, we love the big lummox. He's the most lovable animal we've ever had, and his heart is certainly as big as his girth is wide. As my wife is fond of saying, "Orange is the best flavor."
