Fat-ass cat = 50 pounds / 33-inch waist!

Iggy the cat weighs more than 40 pounds. Iggy stands 14 inches tall, measures nearly 40 inches from whiskers to tail, and boasts a thickset 33-inch waistline. He is larger than most toddlers.
"I've been asked several times if he's a bobcat, and, no, he's a normal cat. We had him tested for that, and he's normal," Kirk said. "Iggy is so big that he can't clean himself, so I brush him and even use baby wipes."

Kirk said the cat's favorite pastime is eating (shock?).

"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. Iggy is now waiting to find out if he can help his owner with his amazingly large food bills. A video sent to "America's Funniest Home Videos" could win the family $10,000. He's also going to be featured on "Ripley's Believe It or Not.” Article here.
