This is cruel, and yet?
I think I am in love.

Dude. Cat needs to lay off the cheeseburgers. NO! You can NOT HAZ!

That's certainly a lot of belleh...

@Political Party Girl: His eyes are apoplectic.

His name should be Pavarotti (of blessed memory)

dude.

It's like the LOLcat with the picture of this kitteh in between two tags: b and /b

Words fail here... Other than to say.

No, just wow.

Oh my god, he's like a two year old human!

It looks like he's less fat and more....filled up with air. His eyes look like they're about to pop out.

That is repulsive, he looks like he is about to pop. And really? Only 35 pounds? Does that woman weight 60 pounds or something?

Unhealthy yet always NOM-able.

That has got to be PhotoShopped. I can't believe he's that big for reals. But then I think everything is PhotoShopped.

He is cute. But that just seems abusive. He must be in pain and can probably hardly move :(

@Trashtastic Is Back and Better Than Evah: hey, welcome back!

Photoshop?

No?

Wow.

Dancing!
Fiesta!
Romancing!
Siesta!
Samba!
La Bamba!

Aye Carumba!

Man, this makes me feel so, so much better about my obese orange cat.

And yeah, he should go on a diet, but there's a quality of my life that hangs in the balance. As in I want to keep living it, and I am pretty sure he'd kill me.

@Banana Grabber: That cat is NOT 35 pounds.

It looks fake, to me.

But, if it's real....I say nearer to 55.

LOVE.

Oh no, he should be on one of those British Animal Cop / Trainer shows!

@Smackdown: Yeah, this makes my boy't little fluffy stomach pudge seem like nothing.

No. Fuck that shit. I hate it when people do this shit to animals and say it's cute. That cat probably has so many f-ing health problems. Just as obesity is fucking unhealthy for humans, it's fucking unhealthy for animals as well.

Sorry... this just makes me mad. I love teh kittehs.

And I thought my cat was a fatty.

If that's real...that owner is fucked up.

Maury needs to have an intervention.

I had a 30lb cat in high school. . .yeah that looks about right, sadly. Mine was also orange, and very angsty.

This makes my roommate's "obese" 17lb cat look like nuthin'.

Poor kitteh. Can he even move very well? I just picture him rolling around like a big orange ball to get to the food.

@OhhYeah: Agreed. If this is real it's just wrong. I am a pretty laissez faire pet owner, but there's no way in hell I'd let my little dudes and dudettes get this fat.

Oh my god its like a baby person size.

My old kitteh was about 25 pounds, and he couldn't jump on the couch without a long running start, and when he jumped down, he squeaked. Of course, he also squeaked when you picked him up wrong, as all his girth squoze in on itself. We used to call him the Kitty Brontosaurus. But this kitteh is just huge, and apparently had a thyroid disorder.

@AbbyNormal: By throid disorder I mean the eyes are popping. @Philthyist's gloves are off, bitches.: You said it better!

How on earth does something that can't even get its own food (I mean, I think we can rule out hunting, for sure), get SO big?? He seems cute until I think about the prospect of a kitteh heart attack or something... Not cool!

See! Everybody loves fat pussy!

"Non credo ch'io vivo!"
I laughed till I cried at this poor animal. Cos I'm a heartless bitch, apparently, but the FACE on 'im!

@AbbyNormal: True story?
I love that word and any chance I get to use it...

@Hamsterpants: Well, she's also holding him all splayed out, and he looks really fluffy as well.

Large cats abound at snopes.com:

My grandmother had a cat this big. He killed a small dog once and brought it home in its mouth and left it on the doorstep. All she said was, "oh my."

I hope he can walk.. oh I love orange cats

@LipstickLibrarian:Yeah, I've seen both of these. The one that's the size of a calf is pretty famous. But there is also the world-famous Tubcat: [www.cafepress.com]

Hn. The way the lady is holding him cannot be comfortable. Just look at his eyes!

He's probably kind of unhealthy.

...

But still...

NOMNOMBELLY.

Get between this cat and his food bowl at your own risk! Although it would be the right thing to do, I cringe (with some fear) at the thought of having to live with that cat on a diet.

@Philthyist's gloves are off, bitches.: Ever since I saw an episode of Are You Being Served ages and ages ago, wherein Mrs. Slocomb uses it, I have loved that word. That and the phrase, "pitching woo."

@LipstickLibrarian: And his paws are huge, so you can tell he has a large frame. He looks seriously not happy about the way she is holding him.

Fatty cat, Fatt...y cat,
What are they feeding you?
Fatty cat, Fatt...y cat,
It's not your fault.

@AbbyNormal: I will NOT STOP feeding my FAT KITTY!

I'm pretty sure he's going eat her face off as she sleeps tonight in retaliation.

My kitteh has a super high metabolism. I fight just to keep weight on him!

@AbbyNormal: Ooo, I was waiting for the "I Will Not Stop Feeding My Fat Kitteh!" comment.
@apple2gs: Oh, my. Indeed. I had been comforted by the idea that a cat that size would be too lethargic and out of shape to be a killer, but now I'm gonna have to build a bedfort tonight and guard my pup from the neighborhood kitties. Wow.

@Political Party Girl: Damn.

C'mon now seriously!! That's not a cat, it's a freakin' toddler in a cat suit! And really, that face on the cat....that's gotta be a photoshop job! lol

I see one thing when I look at this cat's picture. An EPIC litterbox job.

@Political Party Girl: "Whatevah! Whatevah! He'll eat what he want!"

@Political Party Girl: @Philthyist's gloves are off, bitches.: You have both made me laugh heartily with my belly...!!

@Vaginaisnotadirtyword: Agreed, I love 'em all but the orange ones always seem to have such personality! Of course I might be biased, my own fat kitteh happens to be orange...

@apple2gs: Woah. Seriously? Somehow that makes my cat's (typically unsuccessful) squirrel hunting fetish seem much less freaky. That's terrifying!

@SqueakyGasket: HAHAHAHA...

@bojgen: Yeah, "personality" as defined by "I like to piss on everything you hold valuable."

When I was growing up, we had a HUUUGE orange cat who had to weigh nearly thirty pounds. He could walk around just fine, because he was just a really big, tall cat, but he did have a huge stomach and he had a tough time cleaning himself. We called him Stinky.

He lived for over 10 years before health problems started to slow him down. He ran around, played, had no idea that he was fat. He was feisty and friendly.

Orazio here, poor guy, probably isn't the healthiest cat ever, but I think some of his tummy is being squashed upwards from the way the woman is holding him, and he's probably not in any immediate discomfort when he's walking and lounging around.

He does look a lot like my Stinky though. Awww.

Now that is just sad
