Fat Cats Get Fatter
Nope, this isn’t a play on words. My wife has a fat cat that seems to only be getting fatter. When we moved back from New York, our black cat tipped the scales at roughly 16-pounds. I don’t know if you’ve ever picked up a 16-pound cat, but they are heavier than you’d expect.

Regardless, this cat lost a good five pounds over the course of a year. But like most cats on diets, she couldn’t keep the weight off. She started packing on the pounds this winter, but it wasn’t until we went on a week long trip in December that she ballooned out of control.

During our trip to Montana, we simply left a bin of cat food available to all of the cats to munch on – better too much than too little, right? When we returned, I noticed most of the food was gone. I didn’t think anything of it until I picked the cat up off my bed the other day.

To make a long story short, the cat weighs in at 19 pounds. That’s nearly three times heavier than my new baby. My wife didn’t believe me until I handed the fatty to her, and she almost dropped her. I don’t have pics on this computer, but I will post some later. It’s ridiculous.
