Koobah

August 25, 2014

Koobah was rescued from beside the interstate highway in Colorado (8/08) by a woman with many cats. She said he wasn't very gentle with her little kittens so decided he needed a different home. I thought my 5 & 10-year old cats would warm up to him but it's taken years! They never would play with the poor little guy so he learned to play with toys -or me. He's gotten really big, now 20 lbs & 32' nose to tail! (~9 kg & 82 cm) He does need to lose at least 1/3 of his weight so I try to get him more exercise and less food but it may take a while...!

Big as a "mack truck" kitty. I love his big feet. I'd love to gently squeeze them and give him a good petting. Bless you for taking him in and being a very needed mama to him:)

He's a real beauty! I went to the shelter when I first moved into my condo to try to find a little black, short-haired female kitten, but came home with a fluffy white male one... Just fell in love with him. :-)

Awesome! Love that white spot on his chin. That weight problem is a doozy--my Benny also has to lose 3 lbs, slowly. I worry about it every day. It is trying in every sense of the word. Meanwhile, look at that fantastic Koobah--he looks so satisfied with himself.

what a magnificent boy, and he definitely seems to have that black cat attitude!

So the older cats will snuggle with him but not play with him? I gather older cats don't play nearly as much as kittens, anyway. Good luck getting him active enough to lose weight. Keep moving that laser light! :-)
