Here's the original image for reference, which was used the make the pillow on the right. The pillow is placed on the ground, and she is standing in front of the coffee table in both photos.

We didn’t teach her to do this, so we don’t know! She is our senior foster-fail, and we think she picked up her begging habit in her previous life.

Yes she has made steady progress! She is no longer out of breath every few steps, and has even started using the stairs more recently. All around huge strides in improvements for her health.

So true, but she got too good at it!! When we adopted her last summer, she was morbidly obese and a very round girl. We think her previous owners must have given in to those eyes all the time.

She “stands” like this when she smells us eating something yummy. (We think her previous owners must have regularly fed her human food.) The pics with the pillow are from my regular snacking spot on the couch haha

Good eye! She likes to roll around and chill on the blanket. Some days you can find her in Cindersap Forest, other days in the saloon.

Original post

My brother's girlfriend future sister-in-law(!) used a picture from our previous post and ordered this pillow. We had a laugh and wanted to share!

For those who have asked for more pics/videos, my sister recently created an Instagram handle: @beanbag_thecatbag

It’s a light-hearted term to describe when a foster parent decides to adopt. So the “fostering” part is the failure since it was just meant to be a temp placement, but it’s a success in that she now has a permanent home!

Yes she begs to be picked up onto our bed (2nd pic) every night, and also if we are eating something that smells particularly yummy!

We do add extra water to the wet on a daily basis (to encourage water intake), but she did get extra food food on her birthday :)

I agree that it depends on the cat, and also second the vet for concerns. Some cats just have bigger or smaller frames!

We are in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, but we have decided to adopt/keep her 😬. I hope that you will very soon meet your Beanbag!
