BEHOLD! My beloved Skittles

[Skittles]

26 pounds of solid black feline love

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. Best. Cat. Ever!

I want to hug, and squish it!

[Bat Boy]

2. Whoa! That there's a big kitty!

Must have a purr like a jackhammer....:)

[jellybelly]

3. wow!

I just want to roll her around on the floor. She's a beauty:bounce:

[Catherine Vincent]

4. What an awesome cat!

And a fat one too!

[goodbody]

5. OMG that's The Godfather of kitties!

[NightTrain]

6. Damn, lady! You've got one big-ass kitty.

Bet she's cuddly as hell--and I'll bet her owner is, too! ;)

[Solly Mack]

7. That's a whole lotta kitty!

Can I rub his belly?

edit to correct kitty gender

[Skittles]

13. gawd Solly, he LOVES his belly rubbed

is an absolute HO about it. :D

[Solly Mack]

19. I thought he might be (a belly rub Ho)

:::rubbing Skittles' luscious furry belly::::::

[PartyPooper]

I'll bet she can sure kick somebody's ass!

:7

[GainesT1958]

8. Boy, that's one BIIIIIG kitty!

A lot of cat to love--and to hug!:D

B-)

[peekaloo]

9. Good Lawd, the Mr. Creosote of cats!

Do not offer that cat a wafer thin mint.

[City Lights]

10. Holy crap!

I thought a couple of my cats were big, but Skittles wins the crown.

Lemme guess - Skittles is big boned. :D

[Skittles]

11. SKITTLES IS A HE . . . .

history: a guy found him in Waxahachie Texas - starving 7 pound stray with a leg so badly dislocated the bone was showing. 800 dollars for leg surgery/fixing and a few years later.....PRESTO! My beloved butterball. He lives at the farm with Tombo. :)

[NightTrain]

12. Well, it's kinda hard to tell from that angle.

Oh, and who's Tombo? :shrug:

[Skittles]

15. old boyfriend, good friend

Skittles lived with me in town first, then with me and Tombo at the farm; when I left Skittles stayed because he had become a farm cat. I miss him but still get to see him sometimes; I take care of Tombo's kitties when he is out of town.

[democracyindanger]

14. One of these days

that cat's gonna eat you in your sleep, and then you'll be sorry.

[Skittles]

16. he'd be sorry no one was around to feed him!

:o

[Skittles]

17. darn these double posts

we don't know why Skitbit is so darn fat; he doesn't seem to eat THAAT much. We remember he seemed to blow up not long after we got him, when Tombo and I went to England for a couple of weeks - I accused the guy who took care of him of feeding him protien shakes.

[goodbody]

23. he's probably eating at ALL the neighbors houses

[Skittles]

26. he'd have to walk a loooong way to do that

he's rural, lives on a farm on a gravel road :D

[goodbody]

33. maybe he's rules the chicken coop or something

he's definitely got something good going on aside from his dinner bowl.

[RumpusCat]

99. i have a mysteriously huge black cat too

She doesn't seem to eat that much either, but she is HUGE. We're guessing either a mild thyroid problem or that she's secretly eating a ton of wildlife. We know she likes crickets... I guess those are like little buggy protein shakes.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. Whoa!

Does Skittles do those famous kitty four paw landings in the middle of your tummy? If the answer's yes, how long does it take you to get your breath back?

I love the arrogant expression on her/his face!

[Skittles]

21. he's pretty careful where he lands

the only real accident occurred when Tombo fell in the shower and landed on Skittles who was between the shower curtains. Tombo thinks he would have broken is arm were it not for that big black cushion.

[Gemini Cat]

20. What a beautiful ass kicking boy!

That kitty can kick my ass any time!:)

[Boy Interrupted]

22. can cats have their stomach stapled?

thats a BIG kitty.. adorable as can be, but a biggie. I'd love to snuggle with him.

[Skittles]

25. he is a big snuggler - sleeps nose to nose with Tombo

yes INDEED

[Pithlet]

24. Aw

Great picture!

[FM Arouet666]

27. That is one chubby cat. Does he waddle when he walks?

[Skittles]

36. yes, he does have a bit of a waddle

looking down at him from above he looks like a linebacker :D

[FM Arouet666]

41. I love a cat that waddles. Just more of him to love.

As for the linebacker, bet you get out of the way at feeding time. :9

[eaprez]

28. Oh My!

[Sanity Claws]

29. That's one big boy

Someone else posted tonight that she wish her cat was not so minuscule. To bad Skittles can't donate some of his padding to that other kitty.

Does he have a New Year's Resolution? Like working out more often?

edited to correct typo

[shraby]

31. If he lives on a farm, I'd say he is probably

keeping the field mouse numbers in check...if he can catch 'em.

[Amaya]

30. I love it!

too adorable! Hiya Skittles :hi:

[BlueFlu]

32. At first, I thought I was looking at a cat reincarnation of Rush

Limpbaugh, then I realized that I was lookin at the cat that saved the world... Skittles obviously ate Rush and just needs a little time to digest all that fat-head!

[bearfan454]

34. That's a big cat n/t

[Kenneth ken]

35. hmm

so is it you who can still fit into your old airforce uniform (though it be kind of tight) or is it Skittles? It would probably almost as snug on him as you! :7

Good lookin' cat!

:hi: Skittles

[Skittles]

38. my AF untiform is a bit tight but yeah I can still get in it

LOL, Skittles had some kind of bite wound on his side and when the vet treated him he complained that THIS CAT IS USING ALL MY WRAP. :o

[Kenneth ken]

42. LOL

using all the wrap - that's funny.

[Elidor]

37. You might want to cut back on his feed a bit

But I expect he's got you trained better than that.

[Skittles]

39. it's hard to limit the feed of one of four cats, ya know?

it's not like there's a snooze alarm for a yowling cat either :o

[Skittles]

40. argh, another double post!

Skittles' companions are Tibet, Milk Dud and Snuffers

[Elidor]

47. Milk Dud! I love it!

Sounds like a little porker-in-training. :)

[Skittles]

51. go on Hardhead - take a guess why he is named MILK DUD

:D

[Elidor]

53. Whoa…

Now that's a CAT! Deadly green eyes.

[Skittles]

54. his eyes are crystal blue!

Siamese

[Sanity Claws]

66. He's so big

he can't even fit in the picture!

[sakabatou]

96. Got milk?

Sorry... had to do that!

[ZoCrowes]

43. I think its diet time for that feline

Looks like the gut drags against the floor

[Skittles]

44. well, er, maybe the fur

he really doesn't eat that much, unless he munches on barn rats. :o

[ZoCrowes]

45. Suuuuuuure he doesn't

back in your cage geezer you're feeding that cat way too much lol

[Skittles]

48. LOL

my beloved ZoCrowes is back! :hi:

[jus_the_facts]

75. Awwweeee....

....I just posted that I gotta get some film developed of my two new bundles o'love....will post 'em when I get 'em!! :hi: :loveya:

[Kat45]

46. That cat looks like he can kick some serious ass.

And he looks like he doesn't take any shit. :-)

Looks like he has a beautiful coat.

[Skittles]

49. he's actually a very sweet cat, very non-agressive

:)

[Boy Interrupted]

50. he shouldn't have to be aggressive..

what dog or cat is foolish enough to take on the sumo cat :P

btw, I think he is just adorable. I had to save his pic on my computer. I couldn't decide which folder he belonged in, either my cat folder or DUers folder so I put him in both. What a cutie :loveya:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

52. WHOA MAMA

:scared:

[PittPoliSci]

55. holy crap!

he looks like he's having trouble breathing just STANDING there.

[Skittles]

56. acually he is very active

chases sheep, climbs up trees, is always on the go - I kid you not.

[PittPoliSci]

57. either way he's a very handsome devil.

he reminds me of my cousin's cat, who was a really good mouser, despite being a large cat.

[Gothic Sponge]

58. That's a pretty kitty!

Put him on a diet. :D

[WindRavenX]

59. holy shit

That is one bad ass cat I do NOT want to cross paths with :o

[Skittles]

61. he is actually a very sweet, lovable cat

I think he's just squinting in the pic! LOL I was gonna name the thread MY CAT SKITTLES WILL KICK YOUR ASS TOO but it wouldn't be fair, it's not his nature. :)

[Baja Margie]

60. I want that kitty.

[Skittles]

62. can't have him!

me and Tombo love him to pieces and we spent big bucks on him! He wore a pin in his leg for weeks because he was a starving injured stray - a guy Tombo worked with put him in a box, strapped him on a motorcycle and brought him to us - that guy was allergic to cats bless his heart but he said he couldn't just leave him. We are so glad he didn't!

[Baja Margie]

63. Can I just borrow him?

LOL, no really, what a doll. He outweighs Bandit by about 6 pounds. You know, I heard somewhere that you can kind of determine a cat's behavior by the color of his coat. I don't know if that is really true, but nothing beats a big black tom. He's just toooo wonderful.

[Skittles]

77. I have always loved solid black cats

something about their eyes - from a bit of distance it's all you can make out on their faces - kind of exotic, I guess. I got a cool Black Cat calendar for myself for Christmas!

[harper]

64. Ya know, my cat Callie has a similar...er...physique

Callie was also a starving stray. She's 13 now, and lost all her teeth years ago. I think her nutrition was so bad when she was young and trying to make it on her own that she never was able to develop strong teeth. But, toothless fat old girl that she is, she still manages to gum down enough food to be a heavy set kitty. She also is a snuggler. She sleeps on my pillow with her nose buried in my hair. I tried for year to break her of the habit, but finally I've just gotten used to having a "cat hat" at night.

[Skittles]

78. lol, CAT HAT

I call my black cat Clancy's occasional penchant for sleeping on my head the RUSSIAN HAT SYNDROME. :o

[auburngrad82]

65. What the hell do you feed that cat???

He's got the "big boned" physique of Eric Cartman.

:silly:

[dean_dem]

73. Protein shakes three times a day?

That'll do it. Damn, that cat is huge.

[Patiod]

67. He's adorable, but might be good on "mycathatesyou.com"

I can imagine some of the captions you might come up with for him.

He looks like my friends' cat who got stuck in their cat door. He was NOT pleased that the cat door had to be de-assembled with him in it.

[Pied Piper]

95. Similar story...

Years ago, I lived with a roommate and we had 3 cats. The momma was a "big-boned gal". My bedroom was a converted sun porch and the door was french-style with many small windows. One of the windows was broken when we moved in, and since it was an interior door, we never bothered to get it fixed. The kitties loved to jump through the empty window when the door was shut. Well, the momma kept getting fatter and fatter, and one night I woke up to the most ridiculous meowing - I turned on the light, and Babbette was stuck half-in and half-out of the window, about a foot above the ground, all four paws in the air. I don't think she ever forgave me for the following laughter...

The next day, we covered up the hole with that window sealer stuff - like plastic wrap. That night, I was in the bedroom with the door closed, and I saw little Phoenix running toward the formerly-empty window pane. He took his flying leap and smashed into the plastic wrap. He was like, "WTF!" More laughter from me. I miss those two. Babbette died two years ago at age approx 18. Her son Phoenix died last year at 12 years. His sister Phoebe lives with my former roommate in NC.

[HEAVYHEART]

68. OMG

Your cat looks like my first cat Charlie! He died many years ago (bless his feline heart).. I miss him!! :cry:

[AlCzervik]

69. Give me your kitty!!!!

[davsand]

70. I love big ol' fat cats!

The vet lectures me about my fat boy (he's fifteen pounds on the hoof and big boned to boot) but I can't help it--I think fat cats are just too cool.

Thanks for sharing your guys with us!

[CatWoman]

[nicolemrw]

81. that is one humongeous cat!

[Skittles]

85. he is an obsessive groomer

[Bertha Venation]

82. Hi, Skittles! I'm Skittles, too! Wanna play? C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! Play!!

[Skittles]

84. OMG what a cutie pie!

86. That's yer namesake, Super Skittles!

:bounce:

[Bertha Venation]

83. HOLY CRAP. That is a biiiiiiiiig kitty!

And so shiny, too! :bounce:

Is s/he a lap cat, Skittles? If so, you must have some thighs.

[Skittles]

87. nah, not really a lap cat

we had hopes for a lap cat when we first got him and he was injured - that first day he would jump up using just his three legs (fourth one was f***ed up) and sit and purr; alas, when that cast came off he was off and running and hasn't looked back. :)

[Beaverhausen]

88. WOW!!! I salute you

that is one large feline.

Rub that belly for me!!! :loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

89. Lookit that big, purdy kitty!!!

:D

[Be Brave]

90. Aaaak! I've been reading threads by an adorable cat!

:) He looks kinda sleepy there.

[Cuban_Liberal]

91. Whoa!

That's some BIG kitty there!

:silly:

[Skittles]

93. I was waiting for a freaking moderator to comment!

:hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

92. That's some good lookin' cat.

My Cosmo is starting become a big boy, too.

It's strange, boy cats eat the same food and Ricco is slim and trim but Cosmo is getting BIG.

[LDS Jock]

94. Thats a whole lotta kitty love

he looks hungry though.. feed the poor boy!

[yellowdogintexas]

97. He definitely belongs on My Cat Hates You, and Catster too

Oh, boy I wonder if my Clark will morph into something that big?
He is a really BIG boy, Skittles.

I like Milkdud too; we have a partial Siamese so I have a little prejudice going there!!!!

What a gorgeous pair of felines!!!

[Liberal_Andy]

98. looks like a republican ...............Fat Cat

sorry:hi:
