Suddenly, without warning, Candace exclaimed (7/30/2008 10:19 PM):

Candace I'm not sure it'd be a good thing for the owners to come forward. Unless this is a medical issues, I believe letting a cat get this fat could be seen as a kind of abuse. She needs a home where the owner understands that the dangers of obesity in cats is just as real as the dangers for humans... I knew a cat who was a beautiful, sleek calico. Gorgeous, sweet kitten. I couldn't keep the owners from keeping the cat tied up, even inside(!), overfeeding her, and feeding her milk every day, so for the 9 years she lived, she had diarrhea, got progressively fatter, and died at a terribly young age. She probably wasn't much lighter than this cat. It was heartbreaking. Their previous cat died at age 6, an un-neutered male that was also kept tied up, and fed people food. At least they listened to me there, they didn't feed Cat 2 people food, at all. Except for the milk. Now that they no longer have a cat, I continue to encourage them to NOT have any more pets. jmc |

I just saw on the news that the owner dumped it because they didn't want to feed it anymore... I'll refrain from comment. |

I'll refrain from comment.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Of course it didn't matter that the owner lost her home and is homeless. Let's all wag our tongues about what she did to the cat. The news blurb I saw didn't mention that. Hope things work out for both of them. |
