Big, age 7

My name is “Notorious B.I.G.,” shortened to “Big.” I was originally a foster animal with my family, but we fell in love, and they officially adopted me. I was a little overweight, but with a strict diet and lots of protest from me, I shed my extra pounds. But I still yell hours before meal time. I am an indoor cat, but I try to go outside and explore. I jump on the counters even though I am not supposed to. I am loving and like to knead, especially after my family has eaten a large meal or is trying to sleep. I am very social toward visitors, unless they’re animals. My favorite lounging places are by the fire, under the covers, or on top of my brothers’ backpacks. I despise my carrier and hate traveling, but I also hate to be alone. Overall, I love my life, but more food is always appreciated.
