Garfield for REAL

Beatrice Dixon · Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:32 am Post subject: Garfield for REAL

i read here on Pet Shed that cats can get obese but I didn't know that they can really get SO SO BIG!

Look at Orazio (below), the cat from Italy, hmmm well he has grown as big as GARFIELD!

Oh my! That's a HUGE CAT! Shocked

I wonder what his owner has been feeding him to grow this huge. LOLZ!

Whaaatttttt?????

Is this for real?

GARFIELD!?

He's from Italy,does he eat lasagna too? Laughing

Well, he looks like Garfield, yeah. But it just looks so bloated, like it can not breathe because of too much body fat. Remind me not to feed my dog a lot, I don't want him to as big as this... Smile

Outrageous! Shocked

oh, i wouldn't let my pet get this fat. obese cats like Orazio don't look healthy at all - his body has grown too large, too much for him to carry! he seems less agile than he should be.

by the way, do you guys know that an obese cat as this one can get diseases because of having too much fat? diabetes, heart disease, etc. Idea

Edith Pope · Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 4:01 pm Post subject:

Yes, obesity can cause a lot of complications, and endanger the life of our pets. It happens because some owners aren't careful enough to watch their diet and lifestyle of their pets.

Is this pic even real? I mean, don't get me wrong, there was this pic of a giant cat that circulated the net before and it was proven to be a hoax... Rolling Eyes

Anyway, if this is a real cat. I don't think it's a healthy one despite its size Shocked

i don't think it can breathe properly because of its size!

Orazio may look cute but vets have warned about the dangers of cats being too fat. besides putting him at risk, the cat won't be able to do the fun things it likes to do - like climbing tress, chasing balls, etc.

I agree. They may be cute to look at but, just like people, obesity poses a great risk for their health.

Do you think it's the cat's fault why she gotten that fat or it's the people?

It's not the cat's fault. I bet its owners love to feed her a lot and don't let her out much. That's why she got that fat. Lots of food and no exercise.
