England's pudgiest pets compete in slimming contest

Veterinary nurse Jennie Keen is shown holding Tink, a 13-year-old cat that weighs a world record weight of 96 pounds! 

A charitable organization is sponsoring a pet slimming competition to bring awareness to people about how many overweight pets there are in Great Britain. Statistics show that 30 percent of the country's dogs are overweight, or obese. No figures were given for cats, but a glance at Tink makes me think pussy cats have a problem there too!

So far, there are seven dogs signed up, and one cat - Tink. My parents have always reared huge cats, but nothing that compares to old Tink! You gotta wonder if he can even walk.

I'm sure that here in America we have much the same problems with our pets, as we pamper them to death! Giving dogs and cats human food seems like a nice thing to do, but when your pet gets too big too walk, you'll regret it.

Keep your pet on a strict diet and they will live longer. And don't forget to see that they get plenty of exercise!
