Easier said than done! I have a friend who owned a 20+ pound cat.. And that thing would NOT stop meowing and crying until you fed him!!! I remember crashing on my friends couch and he warned me about the cat... I thought to myself that I would not give in and just let it cry until it stopped. But that cat would NOT give in!!! He just continued to meow and meow SOOO loud until I got up and put some food in his bowl. Throughout the night and early morning, I had to get up at least 5 times to feed that damn cat! One night on DXM it felt as if I got up 20 times that night to feed the cat... It was like an un-ending cycle

Nah its all good. If he enjoys food as much as he does, have at it. He is 13 years old. I want him to enjoy the shit outta the rest of his life. Even if that means eating and laying on my bed all day soaking up the sunlight.

Hah, my friend and I sat outside on the ground with this really fat stray cat for two hours the other day, because we thought it was pregnant and going to give birth (it was acting really funny and was really fat, okay??). We got it water, some food and had warm towels, and eventually lured it to our mutual friend's(that we were chilling with) apartment hallway - as we didn't want to take it inside because of our friend's cat, and held it hostage for a while because we were really convinced it was about to give birth.
It was just a really fat male cat. We were just really high, I think. Neighbor thought we were nuts.

You do realize that if your friend was just firm with the cat and only fed it however many times a day you're supposed to it would stop the crazy meowing. Giving in and feeding him teaches him that loud meowing is how to obtain food. Its simple behavioral psychology.

That's pretty damn funny. Fat cats make me laugh.

Well it turns out it was actually someone elses fat cat too, that we essentially kidnapped and sat staring at - I mean they're the ones that let it wander, but I really hope the one neighbor who saw and informed us of the situation doesn't tell the woman he belongs to . At one point I started mildly freaking out because I have never seen anything actually give birth before, and wasn't sure if I could help with this endeavor.
The friend who actually lives in the place was in the apartment the entire time, feel like he knew what was up and just thought it was funny

Is it unhealthy for cats to be fat?
I once read somewhere that certain animals store fat in a different manner and can handle being grossly overweight quite easily. Maybe it was only animals who hibernate?

anus abrasions eh? How much can something possibly be abused? You mean it shit itself into anal abrasions? Or it was constipated? Or what?
