my beautiful wonderful son fell asleep on my chest earlier which i LOVE but also i cannot believe how heavy he is. he's like a pile of cinderblocks. it's like he's twice as dense as a regular cat somehow

I love how he is growing more and more into a lazy sleepy house potato every day. He has finally gotten the life he deserves. It's a great reminder to why us cat folks rescue.
He'll lighten up living the inside life. My former stray boy was very muscular, but I succeeded in molding him into a plushy mushball in a year or two....
I’ve learned(the hard way when the bathroom was a distant dream)that putting a little lap blanket down stops claws &helps with moving. Pick up the sides,making a hammock,& set them down off to the side. Kittens don’t move, nosy cats like Coco,have to see what’s happening, getting really annoyed.🤦🏻♀️😒😾
I noticed that with my old feral tomcat, Zeus. He was so heavily muscled I called him the kitty free weight. Even when he was skinny and recently adopted he had these giant forearms.
I love that it's absolutely impossible to tell how heavy a cat is just by looking at them. I've known massive cats who are as light as a feather under all the fur, and compact tiny cats with the density of lead.
My 18 pound kitty decided two years ago, around age 13, that he wanted to be a lap/chest kitty. Never was one before despite being super affectionate and a pets aficionado.
It’s a bit rough but I feel he must really long for it now for some reason so he gets as much time as I can give him.

All cats can do this if they don’t want to move
The original proponent is Little Lion in JP Martin’s Uncle books
Some of us are the density of neutron stars though.
One unit.

My friends’ big furry floof has paws like baseball gloves and could probably walk on fresh snow without sinking through 🤷♀️
