Two stone fat cat put on strict diet after getting wedged in his flap

[emad]

A massively overweight fat cat has been put on a strict diet after getting stuck in his flap.

Worried owner Molly Oliver, 68, considered Sooty's weight gain to be harmless but decided he ought to to the vets when she had to prise him free from the door last month.


Vets were amazed to see the six-year-old had piled on the pounds since his last visit, tipping the scales at almost two stone - three times the size of a normal cat.
"Over the last couple of months I noticed he was getting stuck in the cat flap - it was quite comical to see his bottom wiggling as he squeezed through - but it was the final straw when he got stuck and could not get outside.

"I realised then how awful it must be for him.

2. Pshaw! I once knew a cat who weighed in at 32 lbs.

(two stone = 28 lbs.) And this was while Winston was at the vet after having the runs for a couple of days!

Once I was on the phone with his human, and heard this "thump... thump... thump" in the background. It turned out that, since a spell of hot wweather had just broken, Winston was cavorting in the bathtub!
