Corpulent Cat

Massive Moggy

This is Amber. She is the PDSA’s Pet Slimmer of the Year. As you can see from the before picture, she used to be one porky puss. She even had a tubby tail.

Amber lives in Scotland so we can probably put her size down to a desire for deep fried Mars bars*.

Sorry… no more alliteration, I promise.

I’m not very good with weights. I remember a friend asking how much my cat weighed when I was about fourteen. I had a look at him, he seemed quite big so I decided a couple of stone seemed reasonable. My friend found this hilarious, as did my mum. Even Amber at her fattest only weighed 15.7lb.

While we’re comparing Amber to my pets; now she’s toned down she looks quite a lot like our other cat, Jennie (not so much in the picture below). Amber doesn’t look quite so much like she’s going to scratch your eyes out, though.

Jennie, perfecting her death stare

* Can you believe I’ve never had a deep fried Mars bar? They sound like exactly the kind of thing I would LOVE. I bet Ben has; he used to have a Scottish accent and everything!

I've heard of deep fried Mars Bars. I can't bring myself to try one. Or deep fried Oreos either. I just can't justify that big of a calorie bomb without some kind of gourmet ingredient in it.

Deep fried Oreos? I don't think I've had a normal Oreo... I have had an Oreo milkshake though.

Just think of the caramel and nougat ingredient... Do you reckon a friterie would make me one if I took them the mars bar?
