Arizona Animal Shelter Has a 36 Pound Cat Named Meatball

(Source) - An Arizona animal shelter has a rather large cat on its hands.

The Maricopa County Animal Care and Control recently received a 36-pound cat at one of its shelters in the Phoenix area.

The cat named "Meatball" is temporarily staying in an office at the shelter because he's too large to fit into a standard kennel.

The cat is not available for adoption.

Instead, the shelter is trying to place him with a rescue organization that helps overweight cats.

The shelter says Meatball is extremely friendly and says he can comfortably walk despite his weight.



I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only good cat is a dead one.  And if that seems too harsh then how about the only good cat is one that can actually walk around and do some things for itself.  Seriously, why hasn't Meatball been put down yet?  You're telling me that people are actually trying to help this thing lose weight?  Why would anyone do that?  Cats suck to begin with; standoffish and impersonal as fuck, moody, basically the stuck-up tightwad bitch of the domesticated animal kingdom.  And now we're supposed to help something that's not only guaranteed to be an asshole, but is also so irresponsibly gluttonous that it literally ate itself half to death?  No way, fuck that noise.  Fuck weight loss therapy, fuck Meatball getting his own special "kennel" aka taking an actual human being's office for himself, fuck all of it.  You know what would help Meatball?  A needle and some Simon and Garfunkel to play him out.
