Add your response to 1 in 230 UK Pet Cats is Diabetic!: Response from: Pat (08/07/07 11:44pm) I think it is. Pets can't be obese on their own. It could be that the owner in busy with other things leaving their cat always full. Response from: Oscar (08/08/07 8:44pm) I think it's pretty obvious that the owner is not taking care of the their pet. It's most likely because of other things they are doing.
