Cat wins slimmer of the year
A cat who lost 5kg in nine months has been named Britain's pet slimmer of the year.
Mischief, from Stevenage, lost 38% of his weight, slimming down to 6.3 kg (14lb).
"Mischief couldn't fit through the cat flap or even wash himself," Sharon Harding said of her six-year-old cat.
Mischief shared the award with a black collie-Labrador called Max who went from 8st 9lb to 5st 3lb in less than six months reports BBC online.
Max's owner, Maggs Gray, described the three-year-old as a "slim dog in a fat body" when she picked him up from an animal shelter.
The winners were each given a year's supply of pet food, £500-worth of pet accessories and £2,000 of holiday vouchers.http://www.ananova.com/images/web/182131.jpg
