A 33-pound cat in Qingdao, China, is being described as a "feline monster" because of its 31-inch waist and large size, according to a report.

The 9-year-old cat from the Shandong Province is so heavy it needs the help of its owner to get onto a bed. However, the cat is in surprisingly good health despite its weight, Local 6 News reported. The cat's owner said it has no interest in eating fish but prefers to eat six pounds of chicken and pork each day.

This fat cat is not alone in his weight problem, according to the report. Obesity has become a serious problem for the modern cat, primarily due to a lack of exercise and a richer diet. Cats are susceptible to a range of illnesses including kidney trouble and diabetes, if they are allowed to remain overweight.

Hard to tell if the cat is walking or rolling.

Can it even walk? My cat's plump, but that's just plain mistreatment.

Agreed.  It doesn't seem likely that it can walk much if at all.  From the article:

I thought my cat a 17 lbs was big but dang!! My best friend's cat may give this cat a run for its money (it's got to be around 22 lbs)

That's more than my entire family eats! (and we gotta good sized dog)

And I thought my cat was fat! That cat is a lard-ball.

[Phlap]

Is there a fatter cat?

Likely, but he's fat.

[VadeRetro]

My cat Alex (Big Al) has been as high as 30 before the vet took me to the woodshed. He never quite looked as fat as that cat. Maybe he has a bigger frame or something.

Big damn cat ping!

[DCBryan1]

That's the second biggest pussy I have ever seen.

You know, about two years ago I got a fortune cookie that said "Always follow the dictates of the collective." I'm still baffled.
