Everything ok in the feline area?

Has he already become his own ZIP-Code zone?

Regards

I was wondering similar things just yesterday. I visited my sister,
who has adopted two maine coon cats, and thought of Buddy.

So how's he doing? What's he weigh? (She said slangily.)

Buddy seems to have leveled out (for now, they apparently grow for the
first three-four years of their lives) at 15 pounds and 28 inches from
nose to butt, not counting his tail, which is almost as long as he
is...so fully stretched out he's almost five feet from tip of nose to
tip of tail.

His latest trick -- he comes up with a new one every few days -- is to
go up the stairwell to the bonus room a few steps, so he's already a
bit high, stretch as far as he can, reach for the hand-rail, balancing
like a ballerina on point, and peer around the corner when I come down
the hall so that I'm looking at a cat head peeking around the corner at
nearly eye-level.  Completely wigged me out the first time he did it.

He thinks it's great fun.

I'm having him committed.

And does he try to sleep stretched out alongside you?  Our
youngest is about the same size as Buddy and sleeps *all*
alongside me - front toes touching my toes, and back toes nearly
in my armpit.  Although he is nice and warm in cold weather. <g>

Sounds like a typical teenage cat - always trying to get "dad".

"And does he try to sleep stretched out alongside you?"

Normally he just checks into a hotel on his own.
