Honestly don't know how he got this big but the cat is fat. This is Puff, the tabby. He really doesn't eat that much but he has just gained weight from day one until now and he's a very big boy. He was weighing in at about 18 pounds last time I had him on a scale. Yesterday, riding in the car, he got out of his cage and came up to the front seat to see what was happening, plus he likes to put his face in the air conditioning vent - must be part dog. He had only been sitting on the seat for a few seconds when the seat belt buzzer started dinging. Fat boy had tripped the buzzer that I had a passenger without a seatbelt. Oh my gosh.
We have tried to put Puff on a diet before but he resists very vocally and gets rather mean and nasty to other cats when he's hungry. You know Puff is hungry when he runs into a room, bowls over one of the other cats and starts chowing down on their head. Naturally, the other cats don't like this one bit. He doesn't start chewing on us at all but he'll come stand on us and that's enough to make you pay attention, especially if it's the middle of the night.
Time has definitely come to seriously get very serious about putting him on some weight control. Now if I can just figure out how to keep everyone safe when he's hungry!
