Obese House Cat Weighs 33 Pounds, Embarks on Weight-Loss Journey

Bronson is a lovable cat. And there’s a whole lot of Bronson to love. Because this cat weighs 33 pounds. So he’s one big kitty in need of one big diet.

Mike Wilson and his girlfriend Megan Hanneman are furniture designers

Furniture designers for cats, that is. Indoor cats, specifically. Their company, Catastrophic Creations, makes wall-mounted cat furniture with the purpose of promoting activity for cats that don’t generally receive a whole lot of exercise otherwise.

The couple already has three cats

They help test Catastrophic Creations’ creations. And they let Wilson and Hanneman know which pieces will likely be better sellers. Because anyone who knows cats knows that they have zero problem expressing their utter disdain for something.

A few months ago, they decided it was time to bring a fourth into the mix

What’s three solid feline opinions on on wall-mounted furniture when you could have four? As any good, growing business knows, to appeal to a larger audience, you need to have a larger focus group. Even if that focus group walks on all fours.

So they headed down to their local Humane Society

Which is where they first laid eyes on Bronson. But to land a first meeting with him, they’d need to be interviewed by a staff member first.
