33-Pound Cat with 31-Inch Waist

February 21, 2006 | Life | People & Society

33-lb-cat.jpg "A 33-pound cat in Qingdao, China, is being described as a "feline monster" because of its 31-inch waist and large size, according to a report. The 9-year-old cat from the Shandong Province is so heavy it needs the help of its owner to get onto a bed. However, the cat is in surprisingly good health despite its weight. The cat's owner said it has no interest in eating fish but prefers to eat six pounds of chicken and pork each day. This fat cat is not alone in his weight problem, according to the report. Obesity has become a serious problem for the modern cat, primarily due to a lack of exercise and a richer diet."

Emphasis added. Reality is looking more and more like The Onion.

How does a cat get that fat?
Isn't that cruelty to animals?
It must take a lot of time to feed the cat everyday. You wouldn't be able to have your own life in order ot keep fedding this cat to death.
I think the cat should've had a chance to run and frolick.
