When I was a kid you hardly ever saw a really fat dog or cat. If you did you'd tell all your friends about it because it was so unusual and life was dull back then. But nowadays I'm always seeing fat round cats that look like tribbles with teeth and dogs that look like they're being breed to serve as a replacments for pork products. What's going on? Why have pets let themselves go these days? Have they no will power? Or rather, have they no won't power? I mean surely it can't take much willpower to refuse to eat another bowl of dog or cat food. That stuff tastes foul. I find it hard to force more than a single tin. But I guess we can't blame the pets. It all comes back to us. Are our fat pets an indication that our culture's entire attitude towards food has changed?
