Well, he only gets a cup of food a day, and they do give him insulin shots....

I have a fat cat living with me ... look at the head on that cat and the size of the paws! THAT cat in the picture is a BIG cat, not a fat cat.

Stop feeding him and make him hunt down and kill his own food. He'll get real thin, real quick. Or he might hunt the only nearby prey that's big enough to feed his huge appetite. Fortunately for the cat that prey is slow and stupid enough so that instead of running off it walks up the the big fuzzy hunter and says "aww, look at the fat pussy cat". Remember, that bag of cat chow is the only think that keeps you off the menu.

Feh! My Mom's cat, Bubba, came in at around 34 pounds the last time he was weighed -- early last year.
I printed off the pic of Chester for her to see. She said he looks like Bubba . . . only smaller :-)

My two kitty-kids weight 20, and 22 lbs. They are huge cats and a pleasure to have around.

Meet Livingston.
He's one of our purebred Maine Coons and he's just over 25 pounds. Yeah, he's fat, but he's not THAT fat. He's just bloody HUGE. (We figure his scientific name must be fattus cattus.)
He really needs to lose a little weight, but the problem is, we've got a second Maine Coon, Beauregard, that's a rescue and is ultra-scrawny. He's healthy, he's been checked out as clean, but he's rail-thin and won't eat a lot. So if we put out enough food for Bo, Livingston pigs; and if we cut Livingston's food back, Bo doesn't get enough. And let me tell you, hiding food for the scrawny cat doesn't work. Livingston can be VERY limber and athletic when there's food to be found.
I'd about guarantee Chester's got some Maine Coon Cat, or possibly Norwegian Forest Cat, in his family tree. I've seen pictures of a purebred MCC from a breeder in southern Indiana; the cat, Leo, is orange like Chester, but he's 33 pounds and tall enough to reach around a doorknob when standing on his hind legs. And he's NOT fat.

Perhaps the leader of Viking Kitties has been discovered!

Hee hee. I love it when our Pontiac tries to bury his leftovers by scratching the floor and wall next to his food bowl. That's a good boy, Pontie, cover it up! LOL
To: hispanarepublicana
That cat is truly big. Reminds me of my orange cat name Pumpkin. Cats to me are like people, but they have fur.
