Angel Calo was very strongly built, especially in his forequarters; his nickname was "The Bullcat" because of his bowed forelegs and massive chest.Your black cat looks a little like the one that Girl-Human's mother has. Your tabby is the same color as Elliot.
Ya' know what she does? She'll crochet a pillow case and fill it with a generic craft pillow from Walmart. Make the pillow case extra large so that the pillow fluff doesn't completely fill it. That way, the pillow stays floppy so that the cat can make a nest and snuggle in.
It's a great cat bed! Both our cats use them regularly, in rotation, around the house.
