Cat people... how does your feline friend measure up

This is from snopes.com and is true. The cat weight 24 lbs. at it biggest. The world record is something like 47 lbs. As you can see, it's mostly fluff there yet it is still quite a big pussy.

edit: pussy cat I mean.

3. I had a big white male cat name Ozzie.

He weighed 26 lbs. at one point -- made sleep the most Cosmic experience imaginable. Died of a stroke. The Doc said he had been born with a heart defect that was never detected -- said we had done a good job loving him for seven years -- he lived a long and good life. I will always remember his fond appreciation of a good nap.

4. Our five cats get a lot of exercise chasing up and down the stairs

and they only get premium dry food (kitty junk food, soft canned stuff for treats only), so they are all pretty trim.

The four kids have never been outside. Mom hasn't been outside for ten years. They are very healthy.

7. That's a whole lotta pussy cat

But my brother-in-law has a cat that has topped 35 lbs. in the past, but he's getting old now (the cat that is), and is now closer to 25. He was shaped kind of like a cube when he was at his biggest.

8. Try this guy.

http://smh.com.au/articles/2004/04/07/1081222508291.html

A German cat weighing six times the normal weight is so fat that it cannot take more than four steps without getting exhausted.

Now officials at a Berlin animal shelter are having trouble finding a new owner for six-year-old Mikesch, after it was taken away from his elderly owner.

The man, who was himself taken to a nursing home, had been feeding the 18.5 kilo cat two kilos of mince each day.
