Oregon man reunited with his tubby tabby

Here, KITTY KITTY KITTY. Goliath, a 20-pound stray whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food, is back with his owner.
His name isn't really Goliath, but it's close. It's Hercules, says owner Geoff Ernest, who was reunited with his tubby tabby Thursday at the Oregon Humane Society.
Gresham resident Jadwiga Drozdek found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.
Ernest said he had a house-sitter when he went to Seattle for a lung transplant six months ago, and Hercules departed.
While at the Humane Society, Hercules was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV in humans.
The society says cats can live years with the virus and still make good pets, but owners should keep them indoors to keep it from spreading.
Veterinarians say about 40 percent of America's cats are obese, putting them at risk for a variety of diabetes-related disorders.
Hercules, meanwhile, has had his 15 minutes of fame, piling up stacks of hits on You Tube and other Web sites.
Fuck, that's a BIG cat! He still looks cute, but that can't be healthy!
That cat's a monster!
Whoa! And I thought my bf's cat was huge...

this cat should maybe be put on a diet so he can be healthy and live longer..
Good lord. I was just posting about fat pets in another thread, & happened upon this one. Here's a link to pictures of other obese animal pets...

Yip, yip, yip in your tiny indignation. Bark furiously on, lady dog.
Those are awful! Poor bloated things.

I know! It's cruel! It's like some of them can't even move.

It's disgusting to do that to an animal.

In Britain, two brothers were just found guilty of cruelty for allowing their dog to become obese. It's painful to watch the dog try to walk.

It's apparently the first case of its kind.

i find this so uncool..when you own a pet, you MUST be responsible for its health, and not letting it be either overweight or too underfed/thin.
why do these people own pets of they can't even take care of their animal's health
sad... I think many people get a morbid fascination with it and secretly enjoy it. My kitty always gains weight in the winter, he's at his top weight right now, but he loses it every summer.
I had just decided this a.m. that I'm going to cut back his kibble a bit though. He's about 2-3 pounds over what he should be. He gets really slim in the summer though, like I said.
did someone say Oregon?!
Yup whatzit to ya?! (Oregonian here.)
im just playing around...some ppl think i hate oregon (grew up there) but... (brb)
