Fat Cat Foiled by Tight Doggie Door

A cat trying to slip through a stranger’s doggie door to nibble on a fellow feline’s food had apparently already had one snack too many and got stuck during the cat caper.
A worker at the Oregon Humane Society poses with the cat nicknamed “Goliath.” The stray cat, later nicknamed Goliath by staff members at the Oregon Humane Society, was brought to the shelter after the surprised homeowner wiggled him free.
“I heard quite a ruckus when I went into my garage,” said Jadwiga Drozdek of Gresham. “It was hilarious… I helped him out of the door and gave him a plate of food on the patio.”
The plate of food may not have been the best idea – the cat is already quite overweight, at 20.2 pounds. But it certainly helped calm him down.
Drozdek said the cat was very nice, but she couldn’t keep him since she already has six pet cats.
If “Goliath” is not claimed in three days, OHS will have him neutered and then he will be available for adoption a short time later.
“He will sure warm your lap this winter,” said Sharon Harmon, OHS executive director. “People with a king-sized bed would be a good fit for this cat.”
OHS also offered to send a free bag of low-calorie cat food home with Goliath when he leaves the shelter.
