Here Is a Photo of an Extremely Fat Cat

Photo: BBC

This cat is called Socrates, and he weighs a little over 23 pounds, more than double his ideal body weight. According to his owner, he got this way from eating "cheese and onion crisps." (He is British.) Let this be a lesson to us all: Too many crisps, and no one will want to heft you up by your armpits anymore. [BBC]
