I have been wanting to share some photos of Auggie from the rear – to show how he’s built. Yes, the long hair adds some fluff and the camera DOES add some heft, but his back legs and haunches are thickly muscled.
I know that all cats have incredible muscles – their athleticism – the way they seemingly effortlessly launch themselves 4 and 5 times their height is really amazing. It often looks like they can defy gravity.
I’ve only had 2 cats: Bob and Gus, Auggie’s namesakes -both were powerful cats. Yes, even Bob! Even as a big cat he could get to high spots when young. But Auggie is something else! Auggie is strong, agile and incredibly quick.
