This is Rugby – he’s a plus-size kitty.
Rugby is a senior cat, who just turned 11. He was adopted from a local shelter and has been in his forever home for several years. Did I mention he’s large? He tips the scales at 28 lb – that’s a whole lotta cat!
When I arrived, Rugby was a little unsure about the black box I kept pointing in his face. But that didn’t stop him from approaching for lots of pets. He received plenty of reassurance from his owner Cathryn.
And he was posing like a pro in no time!
Of course there were lots of trips to the food bowl between shots. And there was no shortage of playing for this big boy – he is impressively agile for his size.
You can tell that Rugby is so loved – he has Cathryn wrapped around his chubby paw!
I love the no-leg look.
It’s a lot of work being a top model, and Rugby made it clear the shoot was over when he promptly fell asleep. So cute!
