A BRAND NEW STORY SERIES

Meatball Chubbs

Meet Meatball Chubbs. She is a very fat calico cat, and she can talk. She lives in Punta Gorda with Harper and Gage. She loves snacks, big jokes, and being the star of every room she walks into.

That belly sways when she walks. She is proud of every inch of it, and she will tell you so herself.

🐱 A Cat With a Lot to Say

Short stories, big laughs, and one cat who thinks the whole world is her snack table.

Meatball Chubbs has a big belly and a big personality to match. She says she is a gourmet. She calls herself a pro at getting snacks. Harper and Gage just call her family.

Every story brings a new mess. A locked pantry. A go-kart that is too small. Skates that will not stop. And Meatball talks her way through all of it, in her own words, with jokes the whole way.

😻 Meet the Real Meatball

Yes, she is a real cat. The belly is real too.

Cake day is her favorite day. Tap the picture and watch her wiggle.

In real life, Meatball Chubbs is Coral, Harper's very own cat. She is rounder in person. When she walks across the kitchen, her big belly sways from side to side and sweeps the floor clean on the way by. The whole family cracks up every time. Nobody tells her to stop. She would not listen anyway.

Look close at her collar. Next to the gold bell hangs a little silver ring, twisted out of a pipe cleaner by a very fancy admirer. She wears it like treasure. In her mind, it is treasure.

Meatball calls herself a snack expert. She knows where every treat in the house is hidden, and she has a plan to get every single one. Harper makes the plans around the house. Gage brings the dance moves. Meatball brings the appetite.

Is she spoiled? A little. Does she know it? Every bit. That is why we love her.
