everyone here in MX (including our vet here) says our cat is fatter than shit, but hes really not (I don't think), ive seen fat cats, i have friends who have fat cats (not as fat as yours though Beauregard) this one time (in band camp) at that friends house (they threw our engagement party) one of their cats walked up to me, meowed really loud dropped to its side and had a bloody stroke right in front of me, it was pretty messed up that night for my friends who threw the party. cats here are skinny, 1/2 the weight of mine and about 1/4 the weight of yours.
