Mo had an appointment
for his Spa Treatment yesterday.
I had to make arrangements
with Travis to take the fat boy
in for me. Weighing in at 25 lbs,
I just can't pick him up.
This is his before picture.
He was just shaved the week
before Christmas. See how fast
his hair grows.
Travis wasn't around to pick
him up afterwards and so he
asked Jordan to get him for me.
She called laughing and to say
that he was growling at the lady
in the office and wondered if I have
ever heard him growl before?
Yea, the last time he went in to be
shaved he growled just like a
dog at the ladies in the office.
Jordan also thinks that the lady
was still in shock as to his size.
She said that was the biggest
cat she had ever seen. They weighed
him before they cut him and he
now weighs 26 pounds.
This poor animal has been on
diet food since he was a year old.
He's just big boned!
A big breed, a Maine Coon.
As Jordan was driving in my drive
she called from the cell phone
and asked if I could come out with
my new Magna Cart personal Dollie
and help get him in the house.
I 've never been so happy as to help.
Perfect timing!
Awe, hey "Mo"
looking good buddy!
Thanks to Trav and Jordan
for all your help with
the Sweethearts best freind.

Mo is so handsome!! Elora growls all the time...it's so funny to hear a cat make that noise!! :)
And I thought the cat my mom used to have was huge, she weighed about 12 pounds. He does have a pretty face but I can't get over the size.
I've never had the grit cakes before and now I know what to do with leftover grits! I can't wait to try this!
That is one fat cat!!!
Gigi, we have a Maine Coon as well!! He is HUGE! He weights about 25 lbs!! He growls at us also. He is absolutey beautiful, as is your Mo, but ATTITUDE...don't even get me started! He is my DH's cat. I am only allowed to feed him and change his kitty litter box! LOL! But he LOVES my DH! He rescued him and his brothers and sisters when they were less than a week old! The mother had been caught by the pound. ;-( I will have to tell DH to get him (Kaz)groomed...although I know he won't have ANY part of it!
And grit patties...never had them...love grits though!
He is a big guy! WOW!
Mo is a super looking cat. We have five house cats but no one is as big as Mo, though one pig is heading that way.
Our neighbor has you beat. Big Guy weighs in at 35 pounds. He looks like a huge meat loaf with a head and tail.
Oh, that cat is beautiful!!! Nothin' wrong with "big boned"!
wow, now I can blame you for my fat-ness!!!
hugs to you!
Man, do I love grits! I don't eat eggs without them. They are really hard to come by up here. I'm going to make your daddy's recipe for my daddy. He likes grits too.
Mo weighs 10 lbs. more than our dog! Where can one acquire a Maine Coon? I had a Persian cat named Tess once. She never came out from under the bed. I think I saw her maybe a handful of times the whole time I had her. I can't even remember what happened to her! For all I know she is still under my bed....
If I were that cat --I'd stick the the I HAVE BIG BONES theory as well. Has always worked for me.
He looks so handsome!! My cat seriously needs this sort of treatment. I should look into it.
