Bruno the Fat Cat
A quirky 7-year-old, 25-pound cat in the Chicago suburbs who sits up on his hind legs is getting a lot of attention after a shelter posted an online adoption ad, according to reports. The shelter says Bruno is “too cool to be homeless.” He talks a lot and loves to be petted when he eats—but don’t pet his belly. He is also on a diet. “When I first met him, he’s a happy, goofy guy,” Wright-Way manager Jason Abbas told WLS-TV. “Obviously he’s very food motivated, so of course he learned quickly where his food is up on the counter.” Bruno’s craving for food explains his ability to sit on his hind legs, according to the shelter. The shelter has heard from people all over the U.S., Canada and Australia who say they want to adopt Bruno, the station reported.

Is that not kind of cruel? He can't be healthy. | |

Yep. Obesitas is becoming a problem with pets just like it is with humans. | |

Yes, but it does say they are putting him on a diet. |

I just hope Bruno is adopted by a good family, loses the weight, and has a happy long life. |

If you have a cat, give them their food & water in separate rooms. Cats by nature don't drink where they feed. | |

Yeah, he looks cute now but it wont be so cute once he is diagnosed with diabetes and has to take insulin injections. I had a diabetic cat. Not fun. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Yup, Bruno is cute but he needs to be put on a strict diet for his health. Hope he can find a good home where someone will take care of him properly; I never had a cat that fat... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

I managed to keep my diabetic cat alive for 5 years after his diagnosis before he developed neuropathy in his back legs and could no longer walk or stand. My vet told me dogs usually succumb pretty quickly with diabetes but cats can battle it for a longer period of time with the right treatments.
