An obese cat who struggled to walk after stealing food from neighbours has shed half his body weight thanks to a Lanarkshire couple.
Long-haired Angus was once Glasgow feline adoption centre’s “biggest ever cat,” weighing just under two stone.
He walked with a limp and couldn’t groom himself.
Natalie Woods and her partner Conor gave him a new home in Shotts where he is now “happier and healthier.”
Natalie said: “He’s a fantastic cat and he has such a personality, he is very demanding, it’s been very rewarding to see him get more and more active.”
Cats Protection Glasgow Adoption Centre said: “In Angus’s previous home, he would eat everything from the dog’s food to the human’s food.
“He would even visit neighbours stealing food off of their kitchen worktops, hence how he ended up the size he was!
“We put him on a calorie controlled diet as weight loss in cats needs to be done slowly and with veterinary advice as you need to make sure they are still getting enough nutrients without being overfed.
“I think we can all agree that he looks incredible now, he will definitely be much happier and healthier.
“Thank you so much to Natalie and her partner for adopting Angus and for helping him to lose so much weight.”
