fat cat could break record

[Amby 490]

A Chinese man believes his two-and-a-half stone cat could be the heaviest in the world.

Xu Jirong, of Qingdao, in northern China's Shandong province, says the cat, appropriately named Chubby, has a 27ins waist - bigger than a human girl's.

"She puts on more than two pounds every year - I suspect the problem is that she much prefers pork to fish," he told Wuzhou Daily.

"She can swallow down four or five pieces of raw pork within minutes."

However, Xu says Chubby is quite a good 'watchcat'.

"She attacks any stranger who comes in the apartment by scratching them - she's really quite terrifying," he added.

However, a vet said Chubby was clearly obese and said that all pets need a healthy diet and exercise.

That"s just wrong in the same way that obese children are 'wrong'.

What needs to happen is that the cat needs to be taken away from the owner and put on a diet. The only person responsible for that cat being so big is him - it's not the cat's fault. He's been feeding it the wrong food.

That's animal abuse.

The cat will probably end up in a stir fry anyway, after all this is China.
