Cat Gets Head Start On Holiday Weight Gain


The 14-pound "Monte kitty" owned by wildernessguru and icarusancalion of Seattle, WA, edged towards 15 pounds this evening with the advent of icarusancalion's birthday.

"You see," the diminuitive Icarus explains, barely able to hold their enormous Maine Coon. "We got this, um, phallic cake from the Erotic Bakery and we forgot to cover it last night. He usually doesn't like cake."

However, the cake had butternut frosting which apparently has more feline appeal -- at least to Monte.

"We got up the next morning and the cock--" Wilderness Guru begins.

"Honey!" Icarus interrupts, hefting the cat higher.

"Well, that's what it is!" Wilderness Guru says in an exasperated tone. "Anyway, the cock--" He glares at her and she rolls her eyes. "--was knocked over. We didn't figure it out until I cut a slice of cake and put it on the floor next to the TV. I went to get some milk, came back, and there he was, licking it."

The kitty wasn't hungry at breakfast and a closer examination of the cake revealed that it was missing a considerable amount of frosting. They explain that even though it isn't allowed, Monte is frequently up on the table at night. "We've pretty much given up," Wilderness Guru sighs.

"My birthday's right before Thanksgiving which leads right into the holidays." Icarus grins, snuggling their kitty. "It's like an extension of Christmas, and well, I guess Monte's way ahead of us on the holiday weight gain."

So what are they going to do with the cake? Icarus and Wilderness Guru both blush. "It's really good cake," he says.
