Chris has been asking for a cat for years now, but I’ve never owned a cat and don’t really feel like a cat person. Over the last week, though, three things happened: I cat-sat for a friend, a neighbor found a mouse in her kitchen, and I read an article about all of the black cats who go un-adopted at the shelter every year. So yesterday, we went to the shelter for the sole purpose of taking home the biggest, blackest cat that had been there the longest.
This guy* was surrendered a few months ago during a family’s move. He has been leading the kitty crew and stealing food as payment ever since, reportedly earning himself the nickname Cat Block Boss. Welcome to the fam, you chunky weirdo. I love you already.
*Pictures do not describe how wide and heavy this boy’s booty is. His weight is literally off of the chart on his kibble bag.
