[QUOTE=Lizzie]He hadn't been neutered? I didn't see that. Lots of fights, that's bad news for the cats he bit. I thought he'd just developed the big head first, then been fixed, like my Tom. He certainly looks like a Mr. Personality+

I saw some mighty large batonga-wongas under this guys tail when he was on the news. I wonder if the shelter neutered him before releasing him? I somehow doubt it. I'd sure love to hug that hunk of a cat though.

I was wondering that too.. I read this morning that the owner came & claimed him back.. So I will bet the shelter did not do a fix job due to the cat already had a owner..

And it was a Polish lady who rescued him and of course, fed him - I'm Polish and I'd do the same thing!

Missing Tabby Returned to Owner

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 20-pound cat whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food was reunited with his owner Thursday.

Owner Geoff Ernest said the tubby tabby, Hercules, went missing while he was in Seattle for a lung transplant six months ago.

Jadwiga Drozdek, who lives in suburban Portland, found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.

While at the Humane Society, Hercules was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV in humans.

The society says cats can live years with the virus and still make good pets, but owners should keep them indoors to keep it from spreading.

Veterinarians say about 40 percent of America's cats are obese, putting them at risk for a variety of diabetes-related disorders.

Hercules, meanwhile, has had his 15 minutes of fame, piling up stacks of hits on YouTube and other Web sites.

LMAO!!!! Batonga-wongas?? I've never heard them referred to as that before. Mind if I use use the term?

OMG!! I'm crying because I'm laughing so hard.

Isn't one of the symptoms of FIV+ being exceptionally large? People always ask me if Sammy is FIV+ because of his size.

My Little Second Cousin Alicia used to refer to her then unneutered Cat Mr Whiskers and His Pom Poms.
Sis Boo Bah!
Rah Rah Rah!!!

By all means enjoy & use freely! It's one of a few terms I added into the "Furminology Dictionary"...along with "POOF", and I forget the others.

I'll have to try to find the song that RICHARD composed..that's a riot! "The Batonga-Wonga Blues" and I can't find it!
I don't think FIV+ cats are any larger than non-FIV cats, but it's almost always large fully grown adult and unaltered toms that transmit it. How old was Sammy when you got him? The jowls do soften over time, but never really look small! Plenty of time to brawl and party over all those unspayed girls out there.
