6. I once had a short-haired cat who was huge.

He weighed 20 to 22 pounds, but was not fat, just big. We knew that he was half Siamese, but had no idea what the other half was.

Whenever we took him to the vet, the vet techs used to joke about getting a whip and chair to handle him. But, in reality, he was very cooperative and happy to please people. He loved the extra attention that he got from everyone who remarked about his size.

He was so well behaved that we just carried him in our arms without a carrier and he sat on my lap. Well, once he did tap a great Dane on the nose for getting too close and nosy, but it was just a tap. No hissing or attempt to fight and the dog got the message.
