Fat Cat on Hunger Strike After Owner Goes Away

I'm hoping that there's a mistake in the reported weight. I saw the
picture when the story first came out and my reaction was that there
was no way the cat in the picture weighs 41 lbs based on pictures I've
seen of other overweight cats. It's hard to judge from the picture,
though.

There was another photo when this story first came out that I found on google
news. A woman was holding the cat against her body, stomach facing the camera.
It was unbelievably huge, and in tthat photo, looked every ounce of 41 pounds.

Sorry to follow up my own post, but I went digging and found that photo, if the
link still works. You can really tell how big he is in this one.

Thanks for posting that update. I think we all ought to all target our
collective purr power for this poor kitty. It's just so sad. I don't want to be
negative, but I sure don't feel good about his chances to regain his health and
lose all that weight. He's grieving for his owner and old home on top of his
health problems.

You're right - we will send health and serenity purrs to this poor
kitty. It's a sad story, and I hope everything works out okay for the
little guy.

Oh my, I had seen the other picture and didn't think he looked bad,
but that belly is HUGE

Steve Touchstone,

I've never seen a cat that wide, even in a photo. Still, he reminds me so much
of my old cat Cherokee. He was overweight too, but only about 25 lbs. I wish a
had a better pic of him, but he died before I got a digital camera. I think
that's why this cat's plight disturbs me so much.
