Clever Not Beautiful

The newest movie in the Shrek franchise includes an alternate Puss in Boots, “an overweight housecat that is too lethargic to even chase a mouse that helps himself to Puss’ milk.”  How creative!  Now a movie that was once about being yourself (in the form of a rather fat ogre, no less) is going to lecture children on how being sedentary will make you fat.  And fat is the worst thing ever.

I LOVE FAT CATS! It’s like the creators of Shrek had never seen a fat cat before, they’re hardly lazy animals. Check this guy out.

His name is Linus, he’s one of the adoptable kitties at the no-kill shelter I volunteer at, here in the Bay Area. His picture doesn’t do him justice.

Linus is a BIG BOY. He’s easily as big as the depiction of “fat Puss” in the new Shrek film. I affectionately refer to him as a “lump of cat”.

Linus is frisky as hell, and will follow you to the moon and back if you pet him. He’s NOT lazy. He’s NOT sedentary (well, any more than a regular cat; cats DO sleep 18 hours a day) and he’s definitely not a “bad” version of a cat.

This is what a real fat cat looks and acts like, Dreamworks. TAKE NOTICE.
