Fat Cat

I used to chuckle when our fat kitty tried to shove herself into a shoe box.  She doesn't seem to have any concept of just how big she is.  She'll squirm and twist and wriggle and eventually get some percentage of herself into the box.  Then she'll lay there with parts hanging over the edges.  It's got to be uncomfortable but you wouldn't know it if you looked at her face.  She looks perfectly content.  Maybe she's putting on an act.  Maybe she thinks now that she's in, everything looks fine.  Maybe she's trying to convince us that she actually fits in the box.  She doesn't fit in the box.  In fact, she looks ridiculous.  The fact that she tries to act otherwise adds to our amusement.

Yes, I used to laugh at the kitty.  Then I saw my reflection when I was wearing my biking shorts.

Your anecdote endings are too funny!

Our cat Melanchthon does similar things -- she and Tess must be soul mates.

I think bike shorts are a bad idea for most people. Rarely do they flatter the biker. I think wearing regular shorts with a gel bike seat cover is a much more modest solution.
