FAT cat.
This cat needs advice on how to
lose weight - Meatball the aptly
named oversized cat weighs a
hefty 36 pounds, or about 16kg.
Meatball belongs to an Arizona
animal shelter but he’s not up for
adoption.
Instead the Maricopa County
Animal Care and Control
is trying to place him in a
rescue organisation that helps
overweight cats, the Associated
Press reported.
The shelter told the publication
that Meatball was extremely
friendly and could walk
comfortably despite his weight.
‘I’M a dedicated employee.’
Some people are pretty
dedicated to their jobs, like
Michael Mosley, a science
journalist and presenter who has
infested himself with tapeworms
for a BBC documentary, the
Telegraph reported.
Mosley has been allowing three
worms to live in his gut for the
past two months as part of BBC
Four’s natural world season, with
leeches, lice and mosquitoes also
among Mosley’s self-inflicted
parasites.
Medical experts advise against
self infestation due to negative
effects which can be serious.
