Seriously, I could eat them; my eyes were wet by the end, hahah. Does this happen to anyone else? Getting wet eyes from looking at cute animals I mean; apparently it happened to my dad too, so it may be genetic!
This is my idiot of a cat who I very much love.
Here's our fat old man, Buttons
I've now lived more of my life with him than without him. He's probably my best friend.
And here's him with his pal Shaun.
You'll have to forgive my photography.
Your pics aren't showing, guys; from the links it seems you linked them from your email or perhaps private google drive, which only you would be able to see. Can you upload them to imgur? You can do it with no account, it's just drag and drop.
"Look at this one posing like she's a model" - My mum
Some of out cats pose sexily all the time... typically the male ones. :D We call them their "draw me like one of your French girls" moments.
This is my parents' dumbass cat, Prince.
He's a sweetie, but he's weird. Drools when you pet him.
Less weird than you think: it happens to two or three cats I know, including one of the ones we're fostering. They get sooo relaxed that their jaw goes slack. So basically when your cat does that, he's in seventh heaven. :)
Also a recommendation: don't actually put your pics in quote tags like you would on GAF: Era resizes images automatically without them. In fact if you quote tag them they become a bit unconfortable to see, as they're very small by default but when you click them they become full size, which can be huge. I should probably add this to the OP.
Best topic of the day. Great story too, OP.
When I visited Rome I went to this place which is a cat sanctuary among the ancient ruins. It's quite amazing to see them all there, and you realize that Rome has such an abundance of historical sites that they just let cats have this one. It says here volunteers look after the cats, and I saw that while there. I do hope they stay there and don't venture out to the square around the area which had busy traffic, at least during the daytime.

Our favorite vacation spot is Playa del Inglés, in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands). Besides having an amazing, huge beach, there's a long beach promenade packed with cats happily living there: no cars, lots of gardens to hide in, warm weather all year long, lots of cuddles from tourists, and they're tended by a few locals who feed them daily and take them to the vet when necessary, including spaying. My SO, of course, makes a ritual to go there every night we're there (which is when they come out) and give them cat treats anyway, and some of them even sleep on her lap. We've seen other tourists do the same, no wonder they're all quite plump.
