Itβs more fat than cat:
When Jamie Oliver tried to put the nation's schoolchildren on a diet, he met some pretty tough resistance. But that is nothing compared with what Xu Jirong goes through when he tries to improve his cat's eating habits. The 17kg (2.6st) moggy becomes aggressive, starts scratching visitors and even starts relieving itself all over the house in protest.
Unless the ten-year-old gets its daily feast of half-a-bowl of chicken hearts, with a side order of pork and a steamed roll, it throws a tantrum. But all that food has to go somewhere and, in the case of Super Fat Cat, it seems to have gone to its middle. At 88.7cm the cat's waist is larger than most women's β and many men's.
It also insists on sleeping on its back β like a human β with its own blanket and pillow, and has to eat out of a raised bowl because it can't lower its head. Super Fat Cat has become a star around the world since it first appeared on the Internet site YouTube.
However, not everyone approves. Mr Xu, from the Chinese city of Qingdao, has received letters from around the world urging him to limit its daily diet. He said: 'I received a protest letter from a person in Florida, last year. The person urged me to help the cat lose weight and not to spoil it any more.'
