R.I.P. Meow
The worst day of the week just got a whole lot worse. Meow, the 39-pound cat, who captured the hearts of America and taught The Silver Fox how to love pussy, is now up in heaven where diets do not exist and the all-you-can-eat tuna buffet is always open. Meow was put to sleep over the weekend because his heart and lungs just wouldn't let him be great. Meow was only 2 years old. Mary Martin, the director of animal shelter in Santa Fe, NM where Meow was living announced the sad news on Facebook this morning:
Dear Friends,
I am devastated to share with you that the respiratory distress that Meow was experiencing last week (the reason we did not do his weigh-in) took his life at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 5. The Shelter staff - along with all those who met Meow during his short time with us – mourn his passing. As many of you are aware, Meow began wheezing last Thursday in his foster home, Dr. Jen began trying to sort out the problem, at first considering the possibility of asthma associated with his weight. She started treatment immediately to ease his breathing and, when Meow didn’t improve, she sought additional help for him from our emergency specialty hospital and an additional private veterinary hospital. Although four different veterinarians worked with Meow, we were unable to stop the progression of what turned out to be pulmonary failure. Meow had been doing so well in his foster home; walking up stairs and seeking affection - that it is so very hard to believe he is gone. We will forever be grateful for the attention Meow’s size brought to pet obesity and to animal shelters across the country. We are especially grateful to all of you who fell in love with this charming cat - as we did – and were so very interested in his progress and success.
With gratitude, Mary Martin
Meow became famous two weeks ago when his elderly owner turned him into the shelter so they could help him lose the chunk. Meow was put on a diet, lost a couple of pounds and was slowly starting to become mobile again.
Farewell, Meow. You brought joy to many and really brought joy to me by falling back into Mah Boo's loving arms.
Now let's honor Meow by pouring a can of Fancy Feast (flavor: lasagna) into our mouth holes.

I am so angry and upset. My cat is 2 years old now and I would be seriously heartbroken if anything happened to him when he could have up to 14 years left. What fucking cunt did this to him? They should be put on some animal abuser registry that names and shames and pinpoints on a map assholes that do this to pets and then force feed them lard until they get to 500kg and then we'll put them on a motherfucking diet. Cunts.
I mean everything I say. It's my besetting sin
not since birth has anderson cooper been that close to a pussy.
I love cats... I'm like the crazy cat lady in my neighbourhood because I feed the 6 cats plus my own pussy.
everyday i come home from work and the same 6 cats greet me and i gotta feed them.
yep, if i didnt have a boyfriend, i probably would be headed for the life of a crazy gay old spinster with 20 cats.
RIP Meow. poor pussy, too much love killed it.

While I, too, am sad for this kitty, let's not forget that tonight, numerous perfectly healthy cats were euthanized because the shelters were full and no one had adopted them; hundreds more cats are roaming feral, fending for themselves until they're hit by a car, snatched up by a coyote, or dying of untreated disease. In Meow's case, at least he didn't die from neglect...

Truer words hexe. Millions are killed every year :(
Makes me just want to run and squeeze my two boys; it's a disgusting system.

There's no fucking way that cat got that big on his own. And even if he did overeat, it's the owner's responsibility to limit their intake.
My Titus (Yes, my cat's named Titus, of all things) is a solid 25 lbs. If I let him get his way and park his fatass by the food dish all day he'd easily be 30+ lbs easy, but I don't because having a cat that looks like a fucking blimp isn't a good idea. Granted, the cat gives me hell for making him exercise, but at least he made it past two years.
Poor Meow.

I was hoping all that press would help her get her life together.
Is this cat's owner an animal abuser by feeding him as much garbage cat food until he is about to burst or does the cat "have a glandular" or "thyroid" problem? It's disgusting how some people feed their animals so much food because they think it's cute or some shit like that. MAKES ME SO MAD....hulk style.

ahhhhhhhh i read that as "gomer pyle" and thought vincent donofrio died. i fucking flipped out for a second there.
because he couldnt put the meow mix down!! *tears* miss jane texas you are killing me today!
Just look at that poor cat's face. This is clearly a case of animal abuse and the media thought it was so hilarious -haha look at that fat cat. And Anderson lost all my respect participating in this madness.
Santa Fe New Mexico huh. Well you know that cat didn't get like that on Thai. It probably ate right at the mesa in the casa.
@ skinny fat. Thank you. He's responding to treatment and the whole family is on a rota nursing him with Proximol.
and fuck Mah Boo too. what's he grinning at in the picture?

So sad. At this very moment we are sitting at home waiting for the vet to make a house call for our Tiger. He has kidney stones, poor guy and needs a shot every day for 4 days.
This poor kitty never had a chance. How did anyone let him get so big?

I hope your kitteh is OK soon. As for Meow, he had HORRIBLE owners who didn't care about him at all. Poor kitteh. Some people shouldn't have pets just like some shouldn't have kids.

I agree that his prior owner should be charged with cruelty to animals, but the shelter that dragged him across the country on display should be held accountable for the stress that had to put on this poor cat's heart and body. Shame on all of them.
*************
I thought that too when I read about poor Meow. Those stupid shelter volunteers trekking him across the US so they could meet the overrated Mah Boo. Meanwhile Meow was probably being stuffed in crates and manhandled by those Today Show assholes. Even on "The Biggest Loser" they don't take the overweight contestants to exotic locales to do extreme sports until they've lost a great deal of weight! Poor Meow was just used for attention. RIP my little kitty (you're little in my eyes, Meow!)
Clearly, this is high level newsworthy info...but does it rate higher than the death of the immortal and studly Goober Pyle?
Awww, poor Meow, and he had already lost like 3 lbs on his diet!
And then the miserable fuckers in this world still carry on!
First Brietbart and now the fat cat.
Anderson Cooper is a serial killer.
this is really sad - his owner should be fined; how the eff does a cat eat that much, though? usually an animal will stop eating once they're full, unless he was force fed like one of those fois gras geese
Poor Meow. Hugs to Twat Muffin and Bookworm.
I miss my kittehs back home, especially after learning this.

That pussy died because the original owners where fucking assholes that couldn't give a shit and though it was funny their fucking cat could barely lift its head to eat the 80lbs of fucking pounds they fed it everyday. This is just as much abuse as NOT feeding the thing and they should see if dipshit owners have any other pets they are killing!
Fuck the original owners they should be charged with cruelty to animals, there was NO REASON this cat should have died at two years old!
------------------------------------------
I totally agree with you. To overfeed your cat to that extent is inhumane. This was a two year old little animal. Animals that age, barring illness, are usually at the peak of their energy, like toddlers.

Why the fuck was Meow so fat?? Going to google it now ...

Poor kitty.
But... "pet obesity"? Pets don't get as big as that unless they have an endocrine disorder. My cat inhales everything in sight but just has the tiniest bit of belly flab.
Yeah, let's start policing the bodies of our pets just like we police the bodies of humans. Because we don't have anything better to do, like get a fucking life.
I totally hear /get what you're saying, but I do have to add, I monitor my german shep's diet very carefully. He's seven years old now, and any extra weight would put a lot of stress on his hips, and as we all know, sheps are extremely prone to having hip problems..

Sir, you killed your date? What in the name of Phil Spector happened?
WORK THOSE CURVES, GURRLFRANNND!!
MissJane, I also had a cat who was fat. Not as bad as Meow, but he was -- REALLY -- big-boned. He was a bruiser. And he would get out and roam around Williamsburg and probably scrounged around restaurants. I inherited him as a fatty and never over-fed him.
Sometimes cats who are neutered tend to gain weight, too.
RIP poor baby. It's horrible to lose a much beloved pet. My cat died 4 months ago and I still miss him so much.

I can't believe the stress of traveling and everything that went with all of those appearances was good for his well being.
Can you imagine how stressful that travel was on him? Those television appearances did nothing to "educate" people about obesity in pets,
===============================================
I never though of that but you're so right, cats freak out traveling and jamming this into cage and under an airplane had to scare the shit out of it, and everytime time it went back in that cage it knew it was going to be scared again which made it worse. Good point Ruk!
To you other point again I agree 100%, Oh sure they call it educational but this was totally just a voyeuristic "freak show" about how fatty and funny kitty is. Nothing more, nothing less.
So obesity kills cats too.
And this is why I run, do yoga and starve so I can hopefully lose 2 lbs a month.
RIP, pussy cat.

My cats never overeat but my dogs could eat forever. I've never had a cat that wanted anything other than cat food. Meow ate hot dogs every day. Sometimes I think a shock to the system can cause death, even if it's a shock for his own good.

Thought Meow's original owner was an elderly shut in woman & the pet peeps took him away. Idk tho.
Lmao @ ig.
Snowho...your avie! Val has a better face tho. :p
I think it's also odd and cruel to fly a cat around, simply to show off how fat he was.
Even worse, all the fat kids trotted accross the stage in spandex shorts and tight belly shirts to expose their obesity. Sweet Jesus!
This three year old girl is filmed in a tiny white bra (yes a bra) and put on camera. It's criminally abusive but it's allowed and these are little kids and there was no outrage over this contant Maury circus. Only a minute or two will show this exploitation. I am really sorry for the cat, I love animals which is one reason why I don't eat them or wear them but ugh on this with children: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrVJeHmHVEE

Whamo ~ I think I love you....
I will only add a couple more thoughts, & that is taking this cat on a multi-city tour, flying him across the country, with guest appearances on all the different television shows could not have helped his situation. It may have helped to try to find him a new home, but I can't believe the stress of traveling and everything that went with all of those appearances was good for his well being. Can you imagine how stressful that travel was on him? Those television appearances did nothing to "educate" people about obesity in pets, as it would take an absolute idiot to feed their pet that much to get them in that condition and any person with half a brain should know that. It's called common sense.
I agree that his prior owner should be charged with cruelty to animals, but the shelter that dragged him across the country on display should be held accountable for the stress that had to put on this poor cat's heart and body. Shame on all of them.
