YAY, YAY, YAY for packing it on Jill!  Maybelle says she will send you some more if you want.  She has plenty to spare!

I don't know why I didn't see this yesterday...thought I was subscribed. Anyway, I almost missed knowing that Jill is now as big as Jack! 

Such good news and now the fear of the unknown can go away! I am breathing deeply with you, Erica.

JUMBO JILL!! You little tubo you!! Chunk cat! Blubber belly! Roly poly kitty!! "El Tubo! Cool Fat Cat! Jelly belly! Bubble butt!

No Brudda!! Not you! JILL! We're talking about Jill over here!

This is one case where all these names are a COMPLIMENT! Good job Jill!

You can rest easy now Erica, this was clearly all about the drug. There is now "one case study" that shows leukeran has a pretty bad sie effect on cats! Jill, you are still making medical history sweet girl!

Rolling out the ice cream and cake over here! Got some non-fat yogurt for you Brudda!

((((((((((hugs...big squishy hugs))))))))))))))))

Nope, not eating anything new, same old same old kitty crack (IAMS).  I guess she just really wasn't eating on the leukeran and was tricking me!

Murphy, my own quad black & white tuxedo kitty, thinks Jill is just getting an early start on her winter coat.  Murphy resembles a basketball with a head, so there you go.

MORE TO LOVE!!!
