A CAT once considered the UK’s “fattest” has lost nearly three kilos after being placed on a special diet. Five-year-old Paisley was taken in by animal welfare charity Cats Protection last year when her owners could not cope with her anymore. The portly pussycat weighed in at 10.75 kgs - twice her recommended weight - and was so large that staff at the charity’s National Cat Adoption Centre in Chelwood Gate had to help her clean herself.
Cats Protection is warning cat owners to be aware of their pets weight. After being put on a specially prescribed diet, she was adopted by James Frankland, 52, from Hove, who has continued with Paisley’s slimming plan.
