I wouldn’t normally post news of this kind, but I frankly couldn’t resist sharing these snapshots I took while watching the evening news at home in Shanghai.

They were having a piece interviewing a family that owns what it appears to be the fattest cat in China. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it….the poor thing is huge weighing close to 16kg (about 33lbs)! My Chinese is very basic, but I think I understood the cat has some sort of rare hormone dysfunction. Look at his size compared to the other cat as well as his owner. Apparently strangers go visit the family as the cat has become a celebrity around town.
