I’ve tried many times to capture the actual size of Dolly’s current girth, but the camera doesn’t really do a good job of it. I figured that the only way to accurately show how large she’s gotten is with stereoscopic images. That way, one can actually tell how much Dolly is coming off the couch with a bit of depth perception. It’s never easy to take stereoscopic pictures of a cat. Usually they’ll move or twitch when the alternating photo is being taken, so it almost always has to be done while they’re asleep. Even a twitch of the camera strap, or a shuffling of feet will be enough to pique the curiosity of a cat
Dolly’s head looks small in comparison to the rest of her body, but her head is actually normal for a cat her age, and it’s her pot belly that’s grown out of proportion. Every time someone comes over, I usually get a comment on how much she’s grown. Outward.
that’s cool! i did the crossed eyed 3D thingy and hey, i think it worked! :) Anyway, we have cats too, and they’re pretty plump too :)

I have two cats — both male. My older one (2) I’ve had since his mother turned him away as a baby and he now weighs in around 22 pounds. His son (1) weighs about 12. Fat cats are the best.
Dolly is a cutie…my husband and I have 2 male black cats (Midnight and Bandit)…they were alley cats given to us by one of our friends (the last of the litter..we did not want to break them apart as they are brothers)..the last we checked…Midnight weighed in at about 26LBS and Bandit at 18LBS…we love them very much…First time visiting your blog…it’s a good one…thanks for the pics…Dolly looks very relaxed and content.
Wow, If I can picture Dolly correct, she’s … plump alright.
She’s got a heck of a long way to go before she gets to my friend’s cat, Maxine. Maxine had to go for kitty liposuction twice I believe.
But Dolly looks very happy :)
