Top 15 Amazingly Fat Cats.




(Photo from Ashefire.net’s Fat Pets gallery)

Why do we love fat cats? Duh! Because they’re so cuddly, cute and fat, of course!

Many fat cats have become Internet phenomenon - the web has seen several viral emails on this subject (including a famous fake one that purportedly show a monstrously large mutant cat found in an abandoned nuclear research facility, see below).

The fattest cat on record is Himmy, a tabby belonging to Thomas Vyse of Redlynch, Queensland, Australia. Himmy weighed 46 lb., 15.25 oz, and died in 1986 at 10 years of age. Fearing people will simply overfeed their cats to top the record, a fully justifiable reason, Guiness Book of Records stopped accepting applications for this record.

The average weights for adult male and female cats are 6.2 lb and 5.4 lb, respectively (with neutered cats ranging from 7 to 11 lb). So, why do these fat cats weigh so much? Sarah Hartwell explains it all here: Feline Medical Curiosities: Dwarf Cats, Giant Cats, Fat Cats.

OK, so what are you waiting for? Check out Neatorama’s top 15 list of "fat-tastic" fat cats:

15. Snowball the Giant Nuclear Mutant Cat.

Snowball gained Internet notoriety in 2001 when emails circulated around the world, saying that the 87-pound cat is a mutant cat found in abandoned nuclear research facility run by the Atomic Energy of Canada:

Rodger Degagne, a former employee with AECL in Chalk River, may be embarking on a new career as Feline Breeder. Relaxing in his spacious home on the shores of the Ottawa River, Mr. Degagne recalls how 15 years ago he befriended two stray young cats on the old AECL research facility at Chalk River. The kittens had appeared in late summer and apparently had gotten under a security fence around the old labs abandoned since the late 50’s. With the help of his tuna sandwich, Mr. Degagne was able to coax the kitties close enough so that he could pick them up. A self-described animal lover, he did not want to place the kittens in the local Humane Society. In this largely rural area, cats of all stripes and ages largely go unwanted and are humanely disposed of after a few days. …

"We knew that Snowball wasn’t your average cat when the neighbor’s German Shepherd ran yelping away from his first encounter with her. She just isn’t afraid of any animals. After we found a half eaten raccoon out by the garage, we decided that maybe Snowball should be kept fenced in. We soon discovered that while we can keep Snowball in the yard, we couldn’t keep raccoons from Snowball. At least it kept the food bills down!" Rodger laughed. "Like all female cats she is very territorial, but with us she is just a big ole kitten" he said.

The story turned out to be a hoax, perpetrated by Cordell Hauglie, who just wanted to make his daughter laugh by super-sizing their cat Jumper with Photoshop!

Since Snowball is a fake, he comes in at No. 15 of Neatorama’s Fat Cat List.

14. Mischief, Britain’s Slimmer Pet of the Year.

Yes, fat cats are so fat that they’re not healthy. So, to acknowledge the importance of losing weight, coming at number 14 is Mischief, a cat from Stevenage, UK:

"Mischief couldn’t fit through the cat flap or even wash himself," Sharon Harding said of her six-year-old cat.

Mischief slimmed down to 14 lbs after losing about 11 lbs in 9 months. He won Britain’s Slimmer Pet of the Year award, and can now "move around a lot more than he used to".

Update 1/12/07: There’s a cat named Goliath who was caught stealing food when he got trapped in a doggie door! At 20.2 lb, Goliath would’ve been on this list here: Link

13. Riley, a 24-Lb. Maine Coon.

This fuzzy cat is a 2-year-old Maine Coon named Riley. According to his owner Martha, who is photographed holding him here, Riley weighed about 24 lbs (via Snopes).

12. Tiddles of Paddington Station.

One of the most famous fat cats was Tiddles, a 32-lb. cat who lived in the ladies’ bathroom at Paddington Station, London.

Tiddles was adopted in 1970 as a stray 6 week old kitten by lavatory attendant June Watson. He lived dined on chicken livers, lambs’ tongues, kidneys, rabbit or steak brought in by his admirers and had his own personal fridge. Tiddles continued to grow in girth and received fan-mail from around the world as well as appearing in news reports. His weight was due to overeating, but vets’ attempts to put him on a diet failed (largely thwarted by titbits from admirers). Tiddles easily became ‘London Fat Cat Champion’ in 1982 at 30 lb (13.6 kg). He was put to sleep in 1983 after vets found fluid round his lungs. Tiddles had essentially eaten himself to death - killed by kindness - and photos show a grotesquely overweight and sad-looking cat, immobilised by his own girth

5/5/06 Update: Original Link (Thanks Sarah!)

11. Xu Jirong’s Chinese Fat Cat.

Xu Jirong in Qingdao, China has a 9-year-old super fat cat pet that weighs in at 15 kg (33 lb.) and its waist measures around 77 cm (30 in). Xu’s cat likes meat, but doesn’t like to eat fish. The secret of its tubness? One steamed bread and half a bowl of chicken heart and some pork every day. Link

10. Leo, the World’s Longest Cat.

Verismo Leonetti Reserve Red, or simply "Leo" is Frieda Ireland’s pet cat. According to Guiness World Record, Leo is the world’s longest cat - he weighed 35 lb and measured 48 inches tall from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail and

Guinness compares Verismo Leonetti Reserve Red to the same size as an 8 year old child and his paw just fits into a size 2 child’s shoe. But if he were a human to Guinness’s scale, Leo would stretch over 8 feet tall and weigh 220 pounds.

Freida says “We have to keep our eye on him when we’re cooking, because he can stand up and put his paws on the kitchen counter.”

9. Sassy aka "Munchkin".

The web named it "Munchkin the Monster Cat", but his real name is Sassy. Sassy burst into Internet famedom via viral email. Although some thought he was a clever Photoshop fakery, it turned out that Sassy was real:

Sassy was born in Virginia, and moved to Canada in 1991 with me. He was a kitten then and after we had him fixed he started getting fat. I never thought anything of it cause he slept so much. His visits to the Blair Animal Hospital did not find any problems with him and could not figure out why he was so fat. He was on diet food for about 8 years. In 1999 he was noted as being 15.9 kilos. in 2001 he was listed as 40 pounds and then lost 8 when he died. He did not eat an excess amount of food and did not eat table scraps. A bite or two of chicken or tuna was his favorite. I miss him very much and often find his picture posted on various web sites.

8. The Dwallibee’s Kailee.

The Dwallibees of Lino Lake, Minnesota, has a 5-year old cat "Kailee" who weighs 40 lbs or about the weight of a 4-year-old. The cat is named after former Minnesota Viking football player, Kailee Wong (who is, of course, a linebacker).

And they say he’s in good health: he’s got low cholesterol (they test cat cholesterol?) and OK blood sugar. Thank goodness the obesity hasn’t manifested itself in kitty diabetes. He gets tested for that every six months.

7. A Bulgarian Fat Cat?

A clip from (Bulgarian?) Guiness Rekord TV showed this surprisingly agile 40.8 lb cat. Sadly, I can’t find any more details on this fat cat.

6. Mikesch, a German Fat Cat.

Hailing from Germany is Mikesch, a black-and-white house cat who weighed about 41 lbs. His owner, an elderly man who had to move to a nursing home, fed him more than 4 pounds of minced meat every day!

Mikesch was taken away from his owner and was put on a strict diet by the Berlin animal shelter:

"You can call it cruelty to animals," said shelter veterinarian Karin Bartell, as the cat stared straight ahead with a bored look.

"It’s a problem for joints and the heart. The cat can’t clean itself because he is too fat. He walks three or four steps and is completely exhausted because the heart no longer works properly and the cat can’t breathe normally anymore."

The latest story is that Mikesch missed his owner (or his minced meat) so much that he is now on a hunger strike!

5. Iggy, a Fat Cat from Missouri.

Joyce Kirk of St. Joseph, Missouri, said that her cat Iggy weighed 46 lbs, has a 33-inch waistline, and is larger than most toddlers.

As you may have guessed, Iggy’s favorite pastime is eating:

"He goes through 30 pounds of food every week," Kirk said.

"He’s a waddler. He’s not much for running, but he tries," Kirk said.

Despite Iggy’s girth, Joyce insists he is otherwise healthy and likes a whole lot of loving.

"The vet says he’s perfectly healthy in spite of his weight, and that he’s more active than a lot of skinny cats," Kirk said.

Link

4. Katy, a Russian Fat Cat.

Katy, a 5-year-old cat from the Russian town of Asbest in the Ural mountains, weighs about 50 lbs. Owner Tamara Yapugova said that the cat, who weighs slightly more than the average 6-year-old boy, actually doesn’t eat all that much:

"She has a couple of fish in the morning and about 200 grams of meat in the evening. … We give her vitamins… and we don’t begrudge her milk mixed with sour cream. Dairy products are very good for her after all."

Katy has completely lost interest in sex - her only interest is food: she can eat a whole hotdog in under a minute. (via BBC)

3. Gippsland Big Cat?

In June 2005, deer hunter Kurt Engel shot and killed this large animal in the rugged terrain near the town of Sale, Victoria, Australia. Engel cut off its tail and dumped the body in a nearby river.

People thought that he had captured the famed "Gippsland Big Cat", believed to be mascot pumas released by US soldiers during World War II.

DNA testing, however, revealed that the creature was a very, very large feral cat (its body was estimated to be over 6 feet long - its tail alone measured 26 inches!).

Link

2. Tubcat.

Tubcat, photographed here with its owner, became an Internet sensation in 2002 with its website (THE WWW FAN WEB PAGE FOR TUBCAT THE FATTEST KITTY EVA :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), spawning just-as-famous fan created arts like Flying Tubcat. How much does Tubcat weigh? Who cares? Tubcat is tubtastic!

1. Lee Raymond, Big Oil Fat Cat.

And the fattest cat of them all is … Lee Raymond of ExxonMobile! Lee Raymond, the retiring CEO and Chairman of the world’s largest oil company got a retirement package worth $400 million, one of the most generous retirement packages ever.

Exxon is giving Lee Raymond one of the most generous retirement packages in history, nearly $400 million, including pension, stock options and other perks, such as a $1 million consulting deal, two years of home security, personal security, a car and driver, and use of a corporate jet for professional purposes. (via ABC News)

That just so happened to work out to be $141,000 a day, nearly $6,000 an hour or $100 a minute.

In 2005, amidst rising gas prices at pumps across the world, Exxon made $36 billion, the biggest profit of any company in history. Meanwhile, Raymond, told Congress that gas prices were high because of global supply and demand, claiming that "We’re all in this together, everywhere in the world".

Lee Raymond’s gargantuan retirement package truly qualifies Raymond as Neatorama’s Fattest Fat Cat Ever!

    I have a fat cat named Blitzen. He is my baby. He is a orange male cat. It’s so funny because he’s got this huge body but he’s got these little paws. He weighs about 20 pounds. I love fat cats, but im am also very careful. I would rather have a average weight cat, then have a fat one with health problems. Blitzen makes it almost impossible to go on a diet. He’s fat AND throws up. If i dont keep his food bowl full, then when i do fill it he will eat to fast and get sick. I just dont know what to do.

    That is animal abuse and you should all be reported to the RSPCA or whatever animal protection agencies there are in your countries. how you could stuff your animal silly like that and flaunt it. Disgusting.

    lol…. great site you guys got goin here, love the fat cats!!! and to everyone out there bitching and complaining because its so unhealthy and whateverelse, STFU!!!! is it your cat? i believe the answer is no… then why bother yourself with the details of other’s lives, i mean, look at the world around you, i’m pretty sure that there are other and much better things to mope around about. hell, i’ll even listen to you complain on some things, but because a cat is ‘too fat to be healthy’, who gives a damn?!?!? oh wait you do, but then again you have no life, so once you find one of those, please, feel free to occupy your time better…

Do NOT yell at me etc, cos i dont have a cat, BUT all my freinds hav cats and I no 3 obese cats. STOP ARGUING YOUS!!! I do hav a bunny tho, but that probs doesnt count. Again hes not obese. ;)

Comentan que alguno es un fake, como el de la foto que pongo, pero es realmente curioso ver las fotos de esos rollizos y gigantes gatos.

    Hi All;

    I had my own little (little)? “Fat~Kitty” as my niece would call him… His name was Amos, and he had to be put to sleep last July. He was a whopper as an adult, and got sick about 2 years ago. He lost almost 75% of his weight after falling ill. But prior to having renal and lung problems, he was always active and fast; even with his massive body. Mice and birds did not stand a chance. Wish there was a place to include his picture on here…

    I think, much like us humanoids, many cats are just prone to be ‘ahem’, larger, than others. He was neutered as a young cat. But his ‘uncle’ was not. They were both huge kittys! And are both now waiting for us at that “Rainbow Bridge”

    When he was put to sleep, he was 13 years old. Not a bad life for a fat cat!

    XOXO
    Anne

    Note to 56 Rob, and 45 Michelle…

    Please do not intentionally hurt a cat (or any animal) this way. That would be a terrible, (and an absolutely unforgiveable), cruelty imposed upon the poor cat.
    Our cat was fat. We did nothing to encourage this, and even when he ‘dieted’ he would just catch more birds/mice to make up for those calories. This was his own genetic make~up, and to try to impose this on a cat whose DNA does not support this would be an absolute sin, and would only make the animal suffer needlessly.

    All you people who think being fat is normal for some animals are wrong. Tell me, have you ever seen an overweight animal in the wild? No. that’s because they eat the way they should…….when they’re supposed to. Humans and pets AND kids are obese ONLY because of how messed up we…sorry, YOU are.

    I think it’s sad to make your cat fat because soon they die. I don’t really think that the owners want their cats to die. So STOP MAKING THEM FAT!!!!! They are just like human beings and they can get diseases just like us. I people think i’m being mean by saying this is animal cruelty then to bad because it is. I bet anyone agrees with me. Here let’s take a pole if anyone thinks this is cruelty then put in capital letters and only this ANIMAL CRUELTY!

    Some of you so-called “cat lovers” are marrow-minded fools… you’re ignorant whiners who probably just look at the pictures without reading anything. The maority of these cats have all been taken to vets and checked out and are healthy! Get over it! To go so far as to wish death upon someone just because they find healthy yet obese cats amusing sicens me! And one last thing: Muew 22… you — are — an — IDIOT! Learn to spell before you come onto a board! It is “disgust” not “discussed!” ROFL
