It's Not Delivery, It's Degrading
No longer afraid of people, Maude stood in front of the open doorway, staring up at the pizza delivery guy.
"Wow, that's a big cat," he said. "A really big cat."
"Yeah, she's big-boned," I explained.
"Oh, really?" he said, obviously not buying my lame excuse for Maude's recent obesity.
"OK," I admitted. "Maybe she's had a little too much pizza."
"You feed that cat pizza?" His face turned serious. Concerned, even.
"No," I said. "I was kidding. She's fat. She's on light food now -- promise."
I turned to Maude, sighing. She glared up at the pizza guy, her feelings obviously hurt by his disparaging remarks.

Poor Maude, suffering from the last legal prejudice - fatophobia.
Reason #532.7: You defend your cat(s) brontosaurs-like bone structure to the pizza guy.
awwww....
she's a beautiful cat. i love that white bib she has! besides, she looks like she has some persian cat in her somewhere, they tend to be boxy and stubby and a bit chubby. i like the fact that she looks like she is either smiling or sticking her tongue out at you when you took the pic. stay strong maude!
here,here!! Stay strong!
(TWP-I'm sure you will be reading these comments to your dearly beloved to boost her moral)
Those eyes!
I love Maude! Like "Punchkin," she just has more to love. :)
Tara - If she keeps this up, she'll qualify for disability.
STC - You just hurt Maude's feelings.
Eli - :)
DWC - She has Siamese in her, I believe. Don't know about Persian. Are Siamese cats ever fat? Let's say so. Let's say it's in her genes. Yeah, that's it...
XOXO - Are you saying my cat's immoral?
Just kidding. I sometimes wonder if she knows she's famous on the internet. And then I remember she's a cat. In which case... no... probably not.
Jonas - Oh, man. Now I have the Guess Who song in my head.
Meh - Maybe Punchkin and Maude could be workout partners?
Oh great! Now you've got me hearing it...over and over again...
Darn it, Jonah beat me to it. I wanted to say she has really pretty eyes though.
Jonas - Now you know how I felt. :)
Stacy - In other words, "she's chubby but she has a really pretty face"?
