The cat Katy, which lives in the city of Asbest in the Ural region of Russia, weighs 23 kilos. Despite is relatively young age – the cat is only five years old – the pet has lost her interest in everything, save food. Katy is not interested in male cats, because she spends all of her days sleeping - this is her major daily occupation.

The owner of the Siamese cat works on an application for the Guinness Book currently. The thing is about the fact that the fattest cat in the world is considered to be some Australian cat named Himmy. The Australian cat weighs 21 kilos and 300 grams. However, the Russian cat is almost two kilograms heavier. The cat’s owner told reporters that the length of her pet’s body is 69 centimeters, the cat is 69 centimeters around her waist, her whiskers are 15 centimeters long and her appetite is 1.5 sausages a minute.

FYI, 23 kilograms ~ 50.71(!) pounds.

Yes, your cat is also preferable for headwear.

[HairOfTheDog]

He would make a fine hat wouldn't he?

never really thought about it...

[Corin Stormhands]

Is that cat watching Fox News or cartoons?

[HairOfTheDog]

He does look intent doesn't he? If I were better in photoshop I would give him a cigarette and a beer. And the remote control. :~D

[honeygrl]

no way this cat is a siamese like the article says.. doesn't look anything like a siamese cat. 5yrs old for a cat that heavy is likely old age too.. can't imagine it living too old at that size.

My maine coon cat was doing maintenance work today at my place. She was standing on the back of my wicker settee on the screened porch and was staring at the porch soffitt. She noticed that the rain thing (whatever it's called) was missing. So, I called the property manager and left a voicemail message that "my cat pointed it out to me."
