Take a look at this photo? After seeing it, you have to ask yourself:
Do we feed our pets too much?
I think that the unhealthy lifestyle of humans is increasingly
affecting our pets and that they are becoming lazier and more obese
with every new day.
http://www.igman.com/misc/Do-we-give-too-much-pet-food-to-our-pets
With the US market for pet food exceeding billions of dollars the pet
food producers and distributors are becoming more and more powerful. In
turn, they pour more money into marketing and that in turn makes
customers buy more and more pet food.
In the end, pets consume the stuff the owners buy and they become more
obese and less happy animals.
So, we would like to make our pets happier by giving them more food,
but in fact we make them sadder because we damage their health.
Any thoughts?
Best,
Vasko

I agree...Maine Coon Cats can get as much as 25 lbs! We have Miss
Kitty...the vet thinks she is a half breed of long hair domestic and Maine
Coon. She is about 14 lbs..but mostly fir!

The woman was holding a 75 pound dog and a cat was photo shopped in.

Most probably, that photo (or one like it) has been doing the rounds for
years.

The guy with the big white cat "snowball" is a photoshop. The woman with
the maine coon is supposed to be real, she's just a petite lady with a
large and rather fluffy cat. The cat isn't even fat, just long, lanky and
long-haired. Snopes has some additional pictures of them if you still
don't believe.

yes, i agree, it might be photoshop.
but still, look at the pics on the top, it looks more realistic.
