This exposé from The New York Times by Benoit Denizet-Lewis is utterly fascinating and an important read. Please give it a click!

Fat Caturday

This is Orazi, a 35.2lb cat from Italy. At 28+ pounds over the suggested weight of a cat with his bone structure, he's the weight of a 2 year old human child. The London Sunday Mail (t.r.a.s.h.y!) featured a light-hearted article about him on their website, but Orazi, I've got some bad news for you:

As a former veterinary technician, I can testify to seeing many, many overweight cats with 'the diabeetus' and it is not cute...it's sad, especially when in many cases it can be prevented. Pet obesity is definitely not worth flaunting in articles with "aw, look, my cat's so fat he can't even get his head in the door."



Now in Orazi's case, they're not sure if his obesity is being caused by a medical problem, but I read that the Guinness Book of World Records actually get rid of their of their "World's Fattest Cat" category, as people were purposely overfeeding their cats to win the record. Yeesh.

Anyway: don't overfeed your cat. It's not cute and it should probably be considered animal cruelty. And if you're still not convinced, Wilford Brimley would like to have a word with you:


"I know who has diabeetus, and I know where they live."

Don & Sherri

This is the song running through my head N-O-N S-T-O-P right now:

Scary Roll

No, the Scary Roll is not the latest creation by your local sushi chef. It's the newest edition to the art of Rick Rolling.

Laugh. Scream. Enjoy.
