Ashton: What do you mean, I’m looking a little wide?
I heard a rumor there was about to be a cutback on my treats. Don’t the humans know this is keeping me warm for the winter?
It’s true. The introduction of bedtime snack time was a bad idea, and not just because Ashton starts asking for bedtime at about 7pm. It’s easy to underestimate how many calories cats are getting outside of their regular diet, but Ashton, who eats like every morsel will be the last on earth, is especially susceptible to packing on the pounds. She is going to have to join so many humans are on their after-New-Year’s diets.
I prefer to call it rubenesque.
Oh, bummer! I just got weighed because I need a health certificate to fly on the airline I’m traveling on to Portland this weekend… and I’m a little underweight! So that means more treats for me! Neener, neener!
Ashton you aren’t too wide it’s just your fur that is getting bushier.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Aw what’s an extra few ounces? I think you look wonderful! Keep those treats comin’! hee hee
Oh no….the dreaded “D” word!!!

noooo diet it just die with a t on the end of it!!! you can’t waste away to nothing!!! I’m in the same boat buddy – Miles
Poor baby! Mudpie has gained 3 pounds since I adopted her in August but I don’t mind because she was scrawny!
I’m sorry to hear about the treat cutbacks, Ashton. I know how you feel. But, hang in there!
If it makes you feel any better, Ashton, my mom becomes the Food Police when we eat because Izzy is the same way. I’m already on a special food regimen, but controlling Izzy is almost impossible. Everybody is in a normal weight range except for him, and he is a real chub!
There’s that 50% off that Sister Zoe was talking about last Saturday!
Good luck on your diet, Ashton! Losing a few ounces might feel really good. Those treats add up really fast!
Oh no! Don’t let the humans read this or they might get some ideas. Everytime Buster jumps down from the bed or a cabinet, like there is an earthquake here.
aww.. poor Ashton..
Wide ? Who said wide ? Didn’t they say wild ? Purrs
my stars girl, thin is sooooooooo yesterday; I think you look FABulous
just as you are; you keep eating those treats…hugs from dai$y =^..*= ♥♥♥
Uh oh Miss Ashton the dreaded “D” word!
You look lovely, Ashton!
My mum gives me treats because it encourages me to eat my proper food.
I feel your pain my furiend……I get a snack at 11pm which I have pushed to 10pm and 10:15pm too (and I am SUPPOSED to be on a DIET!) Love, Cody
We think it’s the camera angle, too, Ashton. You look purrfectly fine to us. We say this because we don’t want the mom to get any ideas of cutting out our bedtime snack. 😉
That winter weight creeps on slowly so more portion control with a few treats? Odin who is 15 of muscle suddenly looked wide to me! It’s a shock when our lithe and limber “kittens” fill out.
I think you are perfect.
Sorry, I don’t see it, Ashton. I think misery loves company and the human needs a diet so she’s putting you on one. Exercise is the key, notfood deprivation.
I’ll call your “wide” and bet you an inch! ~ IZA
Giulietta, Calista, Mauricio and Lisbeth all need to go on diets. Very hard when they are eating this “calm” food. And we absolutely don’t think you are wide, Ashton. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty may, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo4
