The kitty is a boy named Powder and he was abandoned by his person when her home was foreclosed. I hope she is charged with animal abuse and never allowed to have an animal again!

It shortens the life of the animal (cardiovascular, kidney, and liver disease) and lessens their quality of life. Most cats should weigh around 8-12 pounds. That means this cat is about 267% overweight and would be like an average man weighing over 500 pounds. People are simply to lazy/irresponsible to properly care for their pet. Most people I talk to don't feed their pet servings, they just keep the bowl full. My wife is a veterinarian and obesity is a big pet peeve of hers. @ kelly

My kitten will find food ANYWHERE, it got so bad that we had to get a big tupperware container to store his food so he couldn't get into it. Now he eats napkins or whatever else he can find. The vet assured us it was a phase... I think he's on his way to being a captain chunk o.O Cats have a mind of their own...

The fattest cat in Japan actively thwarts attempts to put it on a diet by shitting on things its owner loves when given fat kitty food. My sister's 20 lb cat had a worms and started throwing up, and lost 5 lbs. The next week after getting treated, he'd eaten enough to balloon back up to his fighting weight. I highly doubt that these cats got fat because the owners wanted attention. Sometimes, cats just get fat.
