The cat's owner said it has no interest in eating fish but prefers to eat
six pounds of chicken and pork each day.

Gee I wonder why he is a fat cat

I saw this creature on Fox News (Fox Report with Shepherd Smith), poor kitty
has a 31.5 inch waist - can't stand up for very long, and is unable to even
climb up the steps they made/bought so that it can get onto their bed - poor
thing would get up one step and stop, and they would lift him/her the rest
of the way. And it's not chicken and pork, it's chicken and PORT (as in the
wine)

There's a video link on www.foxnews.com - under "Today's Features", or do a
search for "Big Boned", which is the title of the clip. It's also under
Free Video under the title of Skinnerville.

I saw that.

I'll never again refer to Bubba as "fat".

I just had to euthanize a 27lb cat who had gone down to 24lbs. The
reason was that he had a multitude of problems including hepatic
lipidosis, diabetes, kidney failure, a UTI, osteoarthritis and those are
just the few I can remember.

According to the vet it's genetic.

Good gawd, they are killing that poor cat :-( It's waist is bigger than
mine and 6 lbs of meat per day?!?! I eat that in a week and I'm a 5'6"
human.

Perhaps this is a hoax? That site is full of tabloid junk. Who knows
how much of it is true? Or, even if somewhat true, perhaps greatly
exaggerated?

Not a hoax. I saw the same video of the poor thing being helped up on the
bed on CNN. The owner blames the huge size on the cat having a large
appetite. The reporter commented on just how does the cat aquire 6 pounds of
chicken every day. This cat seriously looked like a bloated, ready to pop
tick.

I saw it on the news too, but wonder if the 6 pounds is in error?
Maybe converted incorrectly? Surely evern a 30 pound cat could not eat
6 pounds of food per day! That is i/5 his weight. Think of 1/5 of
your weight. Could you eat 25 pounds per day??
