my cat is also large but in charge of nothing. when he believes himself to be in charge of my lap, however, he falls asleep and creates terrible farts.
hahaha. my cats are the same. then they wake up and through up in my shoes. you haven't had to clean up cat barf unless you've cleaned cat berf out of wool knit clogs. not fun. but tenis shoes are the very worst.
unfortunatly yes. i've taken to putting the ines i really like on high surfaces or hanging them from the ceiling<ducktape works miracles> it's quite a site.
