'Britain's fattest cat Ulric with his owner Jan pose for a photo in their garden in Dorchester. Ulric has now got a doggy trainer to whip him into shape. Drill Sergeant Dennis the puppy has got Ulric running, boxing and wrestling in a bid to fight the flab after dieting failed. The nine-year-old Norwegian forest cat was declared morbidly obese by his vet last year when he tipped the scales at a whopping 2st 2lbs, the average weight of a three-year-old child and twice his normal weight.'
I do think they're being a bit mean by saying its over twice the size of a "normal cat". Its ain't a normal cat. Its clearly overweight but it is a big boned, big framed cat. It is never going to be a lightweight.
When the vet told me Alf needed to lose at least 2/3 kilos I don't know how he's going to do it. He does weigh about 6 kilos in the summer. Some down to weight loss and some down to fur loss and at that weight he's really not fat. Harvey is also about 7 kilos and yesterday a friend said he was bony!! The vet says he's as heavy as he should get.
