Just imagine the amount of crap that monstrosity will deposit in innocent neighbours' gardens...

If he did, I think he'd struggle to get away from my super soaker

It's very big. the owner probably needs to go on a diet. as it's probably the very reason why their pussy is so big.

For any pet to reach such a size is not inevitable; owners can encourage them to take the proper amount of exercise. This is abuse and neglect, pure and simple. The owner should be prosecuted, and the cat should be legally seized and given a good home.

After lots of exercise, a healthy diet and hydrotherapy, that is, the poor thing.

Looking after a cat properly is not difficult. Mine, for instance, was encouraged from kittenhood to take exercise (she was brought up originally as an indoor cat, so this was important) by the simple expedient of placing kitty treats in places where she'd have to climb or jump to get at them. This also has the added benefit of allowing the cat to exercise her natural instincts and behaviour, resulting in a more relaxed and well-behaved moggy. It worked perfectly; she is now 12 (every time I think that, I think, "No, she can't be! 12?! Really?!" - it hasn't seemed like 12 years) and showing few signs of aging or slowing down - she can still leap from my bedroom windowsill onto my wardrobe with utter grace and no effort at all.

Whilst I agree with everything you say regarding abuse of pets, I am puzzled by your reference to hydrotherapy. I thought cats weren't keen on getting wet

Cats are good swimmers, they just don't like to that often.

Well, no, they're not...with the possible exception of mine, who's been known to go out in all weathers. I've never known a cat like her. She once played with a snowball, in the snow.

Anyway. Hydrotherapy can be and has been very successful in the treatment of feline obesity; I remember an article in Your Cat magazine. Once they get used to it, they don't seem to mind. Cats will accept almost anything if it's done with kindness; mine hates going to the vet, but I always follow up her annual visit with treats as soon as we get home - she's been taught to associate something nasty, e.g. vet visit, medicine etc., with something nice. It helps.

There's at least one breed - the Bengal - which loves water, bred as it was from the Asian Leopard Cat, which likes fishing for its dinner; if you have a Bengal, a water feature somewhere in your house or garden is a must - otherwise she'll be sharing your bath with you or playing with the kitchen taps.
