Is the fat cat with severe weight exceeding the standard really good?

There is a very popular orange cat on foreign social platforms, weighing about 15 kilograms.

First of all, I don't think fat cats look better than normal-sized cats; secondly, cats who are too fat are more likely to suffer from serious diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, etc.

Some cat owners think that cats are fat and cute, so they deliberately feed the cats to fat. Some irresponsible people, after feeding the cats to weight, find that their appetite is getting bigger and bigger and less affordable, so they simply abandon them.

A few years ago, a Canadian netizen Markus encountered an orange cat on his way to work.

The cat is very relative, and Markus believes that it is not a stray cat. But after asking nearby neighbors, the answer was that their cat was not.

The enthusiastic Markus simply took the cat to the veterinary hospital for examination and found that the cat had a chip on it. The owner of the chip lives in a town far apart, and I don’t know how the cat got lost here.

Markus called the phone on the chip and told the cat that the cat had found it.

I thought the cat owner would be very happy, but who knew that the other end of the phone just said coldly: "This cat is too fat, we can't afford it, and we don't need to take it home again."

Markus was both angry and helpless about this. He named the cat Kato and decided to give it to the cat a home.

When I first brought it home, Kato weighed nearly 20 kilograms. It is round like a big hair ball, and you can't see the claws when you sit down. Due to the former owner's bad feeding habits, it has a very big appetite and eats a lot of it every meal.

Markus said: "Although Kato looks cute, for his health, I still want to help him lose weight."

Markus gradually reduced the amount of portions of each meal of the cat without forcing the cat to exercise. Finally, it took three years to reduce the weight to 4.4 kilograms and return to a healthy state.

Kato seemed to know that Markus helped it get rid of misfortune. It was very dependent on Markus and had to sleep next to him every night.
