I think in this case it may have in part been the fact that the owner(s) were 87 and not very mobile themselves.

I hope that you don't feel that I was criticising an owner such as yourself Stephen. You are aware of your cats needs. The people that wind me up tend to have a lone cat that they leave on it's own whilst they work. A cat without stimulus will sleep for most of the time and it sounds like your two have a great life with a slave........ errrr I mean owner who cares for their well being.
[rant}As for the owner of this poor cat, being 87 doesn't provide an excuse to overfeed it so badly, if the owner was mobile enough to feed the cat then they were mobile enough to play with it in some way. If the owner was relying on someone else to buy food and care for them then that person should have done something to help the poor cat before it got to the stage it did. [/rant]
