This shit pisses me off so much. I've been a lifelong cat owner (had 6 since my childhood, and fostered a few more). I've free-fed all of them and none have been fat except #4 who was a couple of pounds overweight when me and my ex adopted her from the shelter. We got the weight off and had to spray her occasionally for eating the other's food, she complained and begged a little more often than the others, but it really wasn't that bad.  In my personal experience, cats are a species not prone to overeating their food even if they have a "limitless" supply. These fatfucks must be buying cat treats and feeding it to them as food, feeding them all the table scraps, etc etc etc., the same way they stuff their stupid moon faces with McDonalds.
