 :censored: hell! I thought Mizzy was big...............

Killing him with kindness, not good though having said its hard to get the weight off em again, Z would end up that size if I wasn't disciplined with how much wet food he could lay paws on  ;). hes a regular bottomless pit! ;D

No more treats for that boy!

It really bothers me that the owner is actually proud of it, rather than realising he couldn't have got into that state without a bit of help  >:(  Bertie is a very big boned cat with a healthy appetite and still only weighs 17lb, so I dread to think how this has happened  :Crazy:

Is this not a spoof, some Photoshop jobby surely?!  :Crazy:

If not then poor, poor cat to be fed so much and then become an object of ridicule.  >:(

And, he's only 3 years old, what sort of future does he have with his weight problem.  :(

His owner should be ashamed of herself. To make things worse, she has FIVE other cats  :shocked: >:(

I am feeling too frail to look at this poor puddy tonight: its not that Canadian sicko at work again, is it?  We have already reported that loser to the relevant authorities...

No, it's a lady in Italy this time round.  It was in the newspapers aswell, sadly I don't think it;s photoshopped.

We can but hope that there are welfare organisations in Italy that will pursue this matter, then  :(  What is WRONG with these people?  Can anyone tell me?  >:(

I must say that the cat looks a little too fake to be real.  :shify:  Or is it that he already got into the stage where he surpassed any resemblance of reality??  I do hope not.

I would guess that the facial expression has been photoshopped but the rest is real ...
