41-pound cat named Skinny up for adoption in Texas

Don't be fooled by the name: Skinny the cat is one hefty feline. And all 41 pounds of her needs a home.

A Dallas-area animal shelter has cared for the 5-year-old orange tabby since getting a call about a stray in a yard about a week ago.

Kim Chapin with Richardson Animal Services said Friday that Skinny's "very sweet" _ and the largest cat she's seen in 21 years with the shelter.

Not surprising. U.S. government growth charts show Skinny weighs about as much as the average 4-year-old child.

Chapin says Skinny appears healthy except for being overweight and likely having diabetes. Blood tests have been ordered.

Chapin says somebody apparently had been caring for the cat but officials aren't sure who owned the huge kitty.

Regarding Post #15.

Note the extraordinary development of the mandibular structure.

(These jaws were made for munchin’. And that’s what they’re gonna do...)

He looks like a original,real life model for the comic strip 'Garfield'.

He wasn't so cute in 1978

Dear me! What have you been eating, my little cat? You are so fat.

I ate the gruel and the pot and the old woman, too, and Skohottentot and Skolinkenlot and five birds in a flock and three girls dancing and the lady with the pink parasol. And now I am going to eat you.

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat a cat. I too have some thoughts about what kind of person would do that, and what they deserve.
