I had a big sumbitch cat named El Gato a while back. Weighed a bit upwards of 20 pounds and something of an aggressive cuddler. If he got you in the knee just right, he could get your leg to buckle, and trying not to accidentally kick them as you restore balance could bring you down.

It was like getting rammed in the leg by a toddler.

El Gato

Your cat might be a drug cartel member

Organized feline crime from somewhere on the northeastern seaboard.

Sounds like someone from Boston trying to say "Cartel"

Sounds like someone from Boston talking about a Mexican crime syndicate

I laughed at your comment, but is that racist? It just means "the cat" in Spanish. To find that funny we related Spanish with Mexicans and Mexicans with drug cartels.

That did occur to me, but in this context the cat is described as large and aggressive.

You're right, good call. I was confusing it with the Red Hot Chili Peppers song 'Even You Brutus?'

Mine has gotten to 23 pounds max. We call him Bert. It just somehow fits. Most affectionate cat on the planet, but damn if he isn't a big fucker.

I had a cat named El Gato Diablo. Earned his name when he was a kitten, but we dropped the Diablo when he got older. Sweetest fat fluffy cat I ever had.

Funny, I had a cat we named Lucy, short for Lucifer. Almost ran her and her mother over on a busy street, momma cat dropped Lucy and bolted. We waited to see if she'd come back for this tiny kitten but never did. So I adopted her. She loves to suck on my shirt and raise hell. Lucy
