The Official Weigh-In
About four and one-half years ago our super cool black cat brought home a kitten. It was a beautiful, long-haired, white kitten with black and carmel markings. He was tiny and new.
My husband takes one look at the kitty and proclaims to us all, "Nobody feed that kitten. We are not having another cat in this family!" And then he takes the youngest son and leaves for a sports practice.
The oldest son and I carry this tiny kitten through our neighborhood. Something this new was surely missed by someone. Absolutely no one claims the kitty - in fact one lady practically runs us out of her yard. So we carry the beautiful, tiny kitten back to our house. We do not feed or water it for we are always obedient (haha).
The youngest son and husband return from practice and take note that the kitten is still there. We tell our story of searching for its home. My husband takes out two bowls. He fills one with water and the other with food. The kitten has a new home and he is called Carmel.
At Carmel's first trip to the vet and official weigh-in he is a trim 10.20 pounds. Everyone says how beautiful he is.
At Carmel's next trip to the vet and official weigh-in he is growing and comes in at 15.70 pounds. The Vet Doctor comments on his weight, but is not concerned. Everyone says how beautiful and big he is.
At Carmel's next trip to the vet and official weigh-in he has become a big boy and comes in at 18.50 pounds. The Vet Doctor asks how much he eats and expresses some concern. Everyone says how big and beautiful he is.
At Carmel's trip to the vet and official weigh-in today he has become a fat cat and comes in at 20.30 pounds! The Vet Doctor asks how much he eats and puts him on a diet. Everyone says how big and beautiful he is.
