POLYDACTYL PUDDING OF A CAT, neutered PAPITO is 19 pounds of huggy delight! RESERVE THIS ABSOLUTE MUSH BY NOON TOMORROW!
A volunteer writes: Papito is the reigning heavyweight champion of the shelter right now, weighing in at a whopping 19 pounds! But don’t go thinking he’s a head-banger, because he’s definitely not. He’s more like a pillow-top-puddy-cat; his belly is exactly where you’d love to rest your head. Nothing says cuddly like a soft orange and white tubby wubby tabby, especially one who’s a knockout and ready to rumble 🙂
