This adorable feline could be mistaken for a real-life Garfield, as he happens to weigh a staggering 33 pounds. Giant mog Bronson was adopted by Mike Wilson and his partner, Megan Hanneman, and has since been put on a target weight-loss program. Photographs of lovable Bronson show just how large he is compared to other cats. In one image, for example, a cushion for a cat bed only covers the 3-year-old ginger tabby’s back like the shell of a turtle. (Caters News)
