9.Left alone for over a month after the sad death of their owner,cats Roly Poly and Pudding never stood much of a chance.Amazingly,however,the lucky pair survived thanks to their vast fat.
Police found the fat cats after reports of a smell coming from their elderly owner's home in Walsall,West Midlands.Both cats were close to death,but had kept on diet although having no access to food.When officers found the pair,they were still overweight at over nine kilos t-more than twice the weight of a normal cat.
RSPCA inspectors believe the cats managed to stay alive because of their owner's feeding habits,and could have been even heavier before they were discovered.
Judith Haw,from the RSPCA,said,"The cats were obviously much-loved by their owner,but perhaps a bit too much.We think the lady didn't have any relatives who could care for the cats and she didn't have time to let anyone else know.The cats did not have access to any food and were using the house as a toilet,so police were called when neighbors complained about the smell."
Judith said the cats,which are being eared for at Foxtwood Cattery near Stoke,need a new home with a perfect parent who would be a health-conscious fitness fanatic (狂熱者).She also said,"We'd love to find the cats a personal trainer or perhaps someone who is on a diet so they can help the cats lose weight,too."
