Could this be animal cruelty?

How long do you think it will take Peta to respond to this recent news report about this feline porker? I think it is pretty cute but perhaps not the best idea.

It has a waist about the size of mine....ok mine is bigger. It isn't even the biggest cat to date!

Tubby Tabby Tips Scales at 33 Pounds
CHINA-February 21, 2006 - Being a pampered pet with an easy life has made a cat in China very very fat.
Weighing a 33 pounds, the 9-year-old cat - astonishingly - still enjoys good health according to its owner. This feline monster, from Qingdao, Shandong Province, has a waist measurement of about 31.5 inches.
The cat is so heavy it can't get onto a bed by itself. With so much weight, his vermin chasing is pretty limited, too.
The cat's owner maintains a healthy appetite is to blame for the state of his cat's belly. The cat apparently doesn't show an interest in fish and would rater eat six pounds of chicken and pork each day.
