| 33 Pound Chinese Cat (with Pictures) A 33-pound cat in Qingdao, China, is being described as a "feline monster" because of its 31-inch waist and large size, according to a report. The 9-year-old cat from the Shandong Province is so heavy it needs the help of its owner to get onto a bed. However, the cat is in surprisingly good health despite its weight, Local 6 News reported. The cat's owner said it has no interest in eating fish but prefers to eat six pounds of chicken and pork each day. This fat cat is not alone in his weight problem, according to the report. Obesity has become a serious problem for the modern cat, primarily due to a lack of exercise and a richer diet. Cats are susceptible to a range of illnesses including kidney trouble and diabetes, if they are allowed to remain overweight. http://www.local6.com/news/7267453/detail.html |

| WOW!! That poor cat Look at the guy holding it. He's all smiles! I'd be crying if my pet was so overweight and possibly suffering because of it. Bless the cat!

| Wowzer! Yes, stop with the 6 pounds of chicken and pork! They're killing their poor cat. Yikes, that one picture of the cat on its side, I bet he's stuck, like a turtle on its back. AH, poor thing.

| wth? does he think that's cute to do to an animal? that is horrible. If it's not showing any problems now, I'm sure it will. Poor thing. I can't believe people think it's cute or funny to do that to their cat. There are even websites for people with fat cats. I don't think it's funny. That guy will do anything to get on tv. Taking care of an animal means to feed it a proper diet. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I imagine kitty's back hurts. I feel bad for him. We have 3 cats....one is super fat at 18 lbs....now the other 2 only eat maybe twice a day....fat kitty can't walk by the food bowl without stopping......

| That's one BIG Cat!!!! I just Kitty sat for a friend who has 11 cats. She has one that's 22 pounds, but it's very healthy, just really big. He's 15 years old, but thinks he's a kitten. I don't think that one is healthy, Sad to think they let it get so big.

| Whoa! What a big cat! Poor thing...Most humans don't even eat 6 lbs of meat a day, and most of us are at least 100lbs or more, not 33...That can't be good for his health.
