My Kitty is Cuter Than Your Kitty

This is a photo of my furkid Pepper. He's 6 years old and is a long-haired Maine Coon Cat. These cats have very distinctive features. First, they have wisps of fur on the top of their ears that point up like little horns. They also are very large cats, both tall and long. The biggest distinction of the Maine Coon is their bushy tails which resembles that of a raccoon, thus the name of the breed.

He is a shelter kitty, and we adopted him when he was a year old and 14 lbs.

Pepper, sometimes I call him Pepperoni and Cheese, is also a diabetic kitty. He at one time weighed more than 16 lbs. but last summer he started losing weight quickly and was thirsty all of the time, which are indicators of diabetes. We took him to the vet and he tested positive for diabetes.

He's now 11 lbs. and looks weird to me, but it's because I was used to him being a fatty. I give him insulin shots twice a day, in the morning and then the evening. He has a special type of cat food too. Other than that, he's a normal kitty and is such a sweetheart.
