I agree, I don't think it's a good thing for people to promote weight gains in cats by having contests such as these! It's terrible! Sure, plump cats may be cute, but it's not healthy for them at all. When I rescued my Marius, he was underweight...and tended to gain weight and keep it on. I took him to the vet who put him on a high fiber low cal diet, which worked! Surprisingly, 2 pounds overweight was too much for my cat, so I can't even imagine twice that much! My Marius, now that he has lost his 2 pounds is a happy 15 pounder!
