'Monster' Cat In China Weighs 33 Pounds

[edbermac]

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.

Cats are susceptible to a range of illnesses including kidney trouble and diabetes, if they are allowed to remain overweight.



That is one big pussy...:wow:

Poor cat...what is wrong with people?

2. Yikes!

It looks like she's not going to be very good at grooming herself without all that weight on her. My Jessica used to be like that before she got diabetes--however, at her highest, she weighed 14 lbs. She's down to about 7 lbs. now and looks scraggly and miserable.

3. Six pounds of Chicken a Day????

That cat is eating more than twenty percent of its body weight per day. That's just abusive. The poor cat can't even jump on a bed.

It's the equivalent of a 100 lb person eating 20 lbs of food each day or a 200 lb eating 40 lbs. How it is even possible?

4. My Friend's Next Door Neighbor Has One Just Like That

They have this big fat cat and a basset hound. The cat weighs more than the Basset hound! It can't make it up the steps anymore, because it's stomach drags along the step before it's back feet clear it.

That just can't be good for the cat.

6. Lordy, I thought my cat was fat!

One of my cats is fat but only half the size of that one!

There is no way that cat can reach it's own butt to clean it -- ewww
