this chubby animal is my other cat, spicy. spicy was a stray...she came to me very thin with frozen ears, the tips were so brittle i was afraid they would break off. after some time, her ears healed (and did not fall off!)...and she fattened up into the tubby cat that is seen today in this picture. she is also the sweetest cat i have ever experienced....even though she is not so much with the smarts......but i wouldn't trade her for any other kitty....she is my fluffy spicy cat...
