Sweet-toothed tabby: 37-pound St. Charles cat finds new home

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by uppityperson (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- A St. Louis-area animal shelter has found a home for a 37-pound cat named Biscuit. It even found him a sympathetic shoulder to meow on.
Operators of the St. Charles County shelter say recent news coverage of the tubby tabby’s plight led to more than 100 adoption requests for him.
Biscuit will go to live with Ed and Lisa Pyatt next week. The Eureka couple adopted another fat cat, Max, several years ago, and Ed Pyatt says it’ll be good for Max to have a buddy.

A long-ago friend had a cat who tipped the scales at a svelte 32 lbs.

Of course, that was at the vet's, after a couple of days of kitty diarrhea.

Winston had a serious jones for turkey. And broccoli. Truth.

Biscuit may have already lost a pound or two. He is a handsome boy.

after a couple of days, he even managed to jump up on a chair. they said this indicated he was doing much better. and they indicated he would only go to a home that promised to keep him on a healthy diet.

This is a personal interest story, not breaking news of a National interest. Like the previous story on this cat. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014412309#post6
