Warning - ferocious steemcat ahead

in #caturday7 years ago (edited)

Meet the fattest, most sweetest cat in the world: Tiloute - also known as "Boudinette".
I see I've missed "Caturday" by 2 days but, in the spirit of my cat's personality (and most cats for that matter), we don't care 😉

Boudinette belongs to the breed known as Chartreux, a natural breed of cats commonly found in France at least as far back as the 18th century (or somewhere around that time).
Her soft, woolly-coated fur is a beautiful blueish-grey and water-repellent. No really, it is.
She has pumpkin-colored eyes and a thick coat of permanent black eye-liner used to enhance her feline features.

In her spare time, Boudinette likes to sit on her fat a$$ and stare out the window.

She appreciates any attention she receives, especially if it involves scratching her beneath the chin or brushing her endlessly.

She also likes to lay her entire body on your newspaper while you read and your keyboard while yoxkjc s sshf fjhw7jh sa shuiw wcJjsks.

She is particularly fond of tomato sauce, soup (without the chunks), olives, and bacon-flavored chips (only the square-shaped ones) and has a sweet tooth for chocolate ice-cream. She hates pâté, ham, chicken and fish...

... and thoroughly enjoys sticking her head in jugs to drink. If the water level is too low for her to reach, she just tips it over and makes a mess for us to clean. Wonderful.

A light 5.7 kg (12.5 pounds) sleeping furball, Boudinette does not climb trees or run much anymore.
After having her kittens, at the tender age of 20 months old, her main focus has been to get fat. So she spends most of her days sleeping and sun tanning.
In the cold Winter days, she finds solace in laying near the fireplace, for 10 hours straight.

She enjoys balancing things on her head, as you can tell from the following photos.

Ok maybe she doesn't like it so much, but we sure do 😜

Chartreux cats are often fondly described as "potatoes on toothpicks", with its robust body, broad shoulders, deep chest, and short legs (see photos below).

She has mastered the art of posing as if noone was around

Oh, looks like it's time for another nap.

Word of advice: don't get a Chartreux if you don't want a cat on your lap every time you sit.

This one is highly affectionate and will often follow us from one room to another.

In the morning, she likes to snuggle up to us in bed, pretending to be all sweet and cute. Don't be fooled, her tactic is to lay on top of you so that you can't breathe and eventually are forced to get up to feed her.

Evil. Pure evil.

...but can you really say no to that?

meowwww so cute!

Haha thank you 😊

I laughed so hard! What a cute and fun cat.
Mine also likes to lie or walk on the keyboard when I'm trying to work. She'll do the lying on your face in the morning thing. Maybe that's "feed me" in cat language. Lol. Cats can be quite interesting.

Glad I made you laugh @jewels3 - that was my main intention 😉
They really are adorable little things.

Ha ha. It's an awesome post! You are quite an interesting writer too. I love reading your stuff. :-)

Thank you so much. And right back at ya!

That' s a precious cat and a precious story. I don't understand how some can say cats have no personality or are too independent, as a cat owner I beg to differ. They sure brighten your day everyday with their quirks :)

I think that's the difference between "dog people" and "cat people". I've had cats almost all my life and can remember each personality being very different from one another. Independent yes, if compared to dogs... but that's what makes them brilliant!
Thanks for dropping by @ladybug146!

WOA! Can a Chartreux have green eyes? Because I swear that's the exact kind of cat I ran into this afternoon in town... we had a little moment together while he was luxuriating in the sun...

Super strange that I logged on to steemit to post about it and there's your post! Triipppyyyyyy... ;) <3

I think you've met the Chartreux's close cousin: a British Shorthair. Chartreux always have orange eyes (if I'm not mistaken), but she looks a lot like her! Nice and chubby 😍

Well I am in the UK at the moment, so a British shorthair is definitely likely! I can tell from you photos, your Boudinette has a ton of personality what a card! <3

My favourite kind of cat. Similar to British Shorthair.

Yes, i think the only difference is that Chartreux cats are usually larger and have a broader face and shoulders. I love British Shorthairs as well :)

I do love the big face. I think famous internet cat Maru is a Chartreux, I can just watch it jump into boxes for ages upon age.

Haha! Been a fan of Maru since day 1. He's a Scottish Fold though, with probably just as much personality. I just don't have enough time in the day to film mine.

What a cute fluffy cat. I want it in my lap :)!

Boud is beautiful 😍

Meow

what a great profile you've given your cat! With these stories, info, quips and fantastic photos, it's so easy to connect with her personality. What a character she is...

Yes, she's all set for a job interview now 😜
Never a dull moment around her that's for sure!

Awwwwww....
What a cutie... 😍 I used to have a cat that love to lay on my body in the morning, but when it's warm enough she will move and don't want to be touched!

Hahaha! This one can never get enough heat.. she lays so close to the fireplace in Winter sometimes I wonder how she doesn't catch on fire!
Thanks for dropping by @hananan

Maybe her fur so thick that not even light can come through it, lol

You are welcome

Great photography! And such an adorable furball! I just want to snuggle her!!
