cat refuses to eat........
a 6 year old cat weighing around 41lbs was taken to a animal shelter as its elderly owner could no longer look after the pet, he fed the cat 4lbs of mice per day............
the cat is severly overweight, on average a normal cat would weigh 12lbs....
its also suffering from heart problems and cannot walk for more then 4 paces as it gets tired............
the cat is now refusing to eat anything because of being on a diet not getting his usual 'meaty' meal.

Re: cat refuse to eat........
some ppl like those who have snakes breed mice as its a cheaper form of food they breed quickly so the food supply is always there.

Re: cat refuse to eat........
They should buy a dog. I'm sure the cat would put more effort in moving and excercise then lol

poor cat because it now habitually expects the food it was bought up on.....the cat knows no different, i would guess...and yes it is over weight but surely it is the old owners fault and not the cats :pp
