People who let their pets get in that conditions should be charged with animal abuse.

He was a stray living / hiding in a hospital basement if I recall. Staff was feeding without coordinating with each other.

Something like that almost happened to us. There was a stray visiting our apartment building and we feed him a couple of times until the building manager call us telling us that there were already other 3 neighbors feeding him, and that he was taking care so please stop. But he just keep running and crying for food every time we came in to the building.

Then again you really should notice long before a cat gets this fat. Unless you turned off your brain or something. This is way too fat to be considered an accident.

Or you put food out in the area and never actually see the cat.

No way, man. If that cat wants food, it's gotta at least pay the cat tax and let me gaze upon it.
