meh, it didn't fall down, now I'm disappointed.

Get that tail!

No wonder he plays with his tail; he probably doesn't get to see it too often.

On the one hand that video is kind of cute.

On the other hand, it makes me sad when cat owners let their cats become so obese. It just means that poor cat will more likely suffer needless health problems in the future.

Now they just need to get his tubby ass to do that for 30 minutes a day.

Adds a whole new dimension to playing with ones self.

Hear hear. You can't just give cats a huge bowl of food and not expect them to eat and eat and eat.

Sometimes I see guys on the job site playing with their tails on the top of ladders but we have a strict "No Tail Playing on Ladders" policy that I need to enforce.

*Lies! Georgie WILL catch that tail!!

Yep, cause having your cat climb a latter doesn't count as exercise.

I have a cat that's actually bigger than this one. Got him from a shelter at a shade under 30 lbs, after he'd lost 8 lbs since arrival at the shelter. It takes a lot of effort(or lack of), theft of food, ingenuity, and bullying of the other cats for him to stay that fat. I'd be almost proud at his efforts, if he wasn't attempting a guiness record for the fattest ass.

This is a prime example of cats being a rudimentary species...

Did you hear the amount of mouth-breathing in that video? The cat is likely a reflection of its owner.

Well, like people, some animals have a predisposition to obesity, where others have a propensity for a lower body fat.

I free feed all but one of my cats, and one of my dogs, they all have a healthy weight. The two that don't get free fed, don't because they easily become overweight.

"Predisposition to obesity" or not, any vet will will tell you that this cat's at pretty high risk for developing diabetes, and all the complications that go with it, if the owner doesn't change the cat's diet. Sometimes all it takes is choosing a "weight control" variety, and letting the cat continue to free feed.

I don't mean to sound judgemental. At least the guy is keeping the cat warm through winters, which is more than I can say for jerks who abandon kittens in the freezing cold of winter, etc. On the other hand, let's not pretend that a "predisposition" to anything is in any way a reasonable abdication of responsibility.
