No, that barrel doesn't make Boots look fat, just well cared for, adored, and perhaps just a tad spoiled. Cats should be well-rounded!
No Donna, The cat makes the barrel look fat...lol. What a well cared for guy. Maybe he needs a treadmill with a mouse on the front of it, huh? just to tone him up a little, thats all.
Boots always becomes a little butterball over the winter, just like me. I garden, he chases moles to take it off.
