I wonder if they shaved him before or during the shoe rack, and is he eating out of a crock? This seems like a Southpark episode for some reason. Next they're going to say he snuck an amusement park in...

My guess is that he was very badly matted, so they shaved him at the beginning of "fat camp"

Really obese cats can't groom themselves well enough, so they get really bad fur mats (especially long-haired cats)

Our households cat is a healthy weight yet he still gets severe matting. He has to be shaved every couple years otherwise the matts will hurt him. Brushing doesn't seem to help. He has a weird, almost silky feeling fur.
