'Monster' Cat In China Weighs 33 Pounds

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.

[Revolting cat!]

Revolting. Uhm, never mind...

[Prince Caspian]

It's not a monster. It's just fat.

[Defendingliberty]

Ted Kennedy as a cat!!!

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Kind of looks like Ted Kennedy.

[GlennLivett]

That's a lot of pussy.

[THX 1138]

Makes Ted Kennedy look downright svelte...

[usmcobra]

There are no trolls in China.

[Conservative til I die]

That cat is awesome.

[Darkwolf377]

"Honey, where's Junior?"

[HairOfTheDog]

Can it even walk? My cat's plump, but that's just plain mistreatment.

[JennysCool]

Pussy Galore, for sure!

[manglor]

So that's the fat lady of viking kitties? When does she sing?

[spetznaz]

Wow ....that is one big cat.

[NZerFromHK]

If you read Chinese, you will notice the caption literally says "The happy life of a big fat cat". He's obese IMHO.

[cyborg]

Oh lordy *LOL*

[Army Air Corps]

Ping!

And you thought that you had a big kitty.

[BenLurkin]

[quantim]

Yer' gonna' love this.

[razorback-bert]

Hard to tell if the cat is walking or rolling.

[Army Air Corps]

That cat has more chins than a ...oh, never mind.

[Larry Lucido]

"I'm not fat. I'm fluffy."

Can it even walk? My cat's plump, but that's just plain mistreatment.

Agreed.  It doesn't seem likely that it can walk much if at all.  From the article:

"The 9-year-old cat from the Shandong Province is so heavy it needs the help of its owner to get onto a bed."

I saw this story on Fox tonight. This cat eats 6 pounds of chicken a day!

[Calpernia]

Monster cat!

:))

[billbears]

I thought my cat a 17 lbs was big but dang!! My best friend's cat may give this cat a run for its money (it's got to be around 22 lbs)

[2111USMC]

6 lbs. of chicken and pork every day?

That's more than my entire family eats! (and we gotta good sized dog)

[Battle Axe]

ping

[stripes1776]

hmmmm... I always have trouble getting full on Chinese food....

Not me. I just love sweet and sour cat.

[mountn man]

hmmmm... I always have trouble getting full on Chinese food....

Obviously lasagna. Just ask Garfield

[SIDENET]

And I thought my cat was fat! That cat is a lard-ball.

[Phlap]

Is there a fatter cat?

Likely, but he's fat.

[VadeRetro]

My cat Alex (Big Al) has been as high as 30 before the vet took me to the woodshed. He never quite looked as fat as that cat. Maybe he has a bigger frame or something.

[Xenalyte]

Big damn cat ping!

[DCBryan1]

That's the second biggest pussy I have ever seen.

[cyborg]

33 pound Garfield toupe on his head.

[Casloy]

You know, about two years ago I got a fortune cookie that said "Always follow the dictates of the collective." I'm still baffled.

[RichInOC]

"...did somebody say 'chicken fried mice'?"

[r9etb]

No mention of a name.... Chairman Meow, perhaps?

The Cat's In The Kettle

That...is one tubby kitty. We have a kitty that is a big butterball down the street. He's probably 22 lbs or so. One day I saw him put on a serious sprint to go after a squirrel, though. It was amazing to see.

The squirrel went up a tree. I went over for a look. Now, I've been cussed out by squirrels before- but this one was going on like no squirrel I have ever heard before. I guess that whopping stripey streak going after him was just too much.

[B-Chan]

[jocon307]

That's a fat cat, he looks like a living cartoon. Should I say anime?

[wolficatZ]

Pussy galore

LEO knows he's the top cat. The massive Maine Coon moggie from Chicago weighs 35lbs and measures a record-breaking 47.9ins from nose to tail. His paws fit a size 2 child's shoe.

31-inch waist? Riiight...same as in high school, right? Don't think so. I heard he scratches the "2" in "32" off and changes it to a "1". So vain.

[Right Wing Assault]

Its eyes look Japanese.

[Phlap]

It's a slow night. Chaney didn't give the press anything to do. lol
