It's possible she is just fat, Lulu. Gravid females give off a different scent to deter the unwanted attentions of randy males! Or rather they cease to give off the attractive pheromone.

Re: an update!

two fuzzies a week is a lot
Sammy got her double chins on far less than that
once a week is plenty

Re: an update!
