Fat cats: Adorable or just plain wrong?

You've seen the pictures.  Some friend/girlfriend/co-worker takes pictures of their REALLY fat cat and shows them off. Some people love this. In fact, some people love this enough to start a blog dedicated to pictures of fat cats.

But is it wrong to ogle a cat because of it's body type and shape? From where does this appeal of a "fat cat" stem? What about people who feed their cat a lot to keep it fat? Do people purposely fatten up their pets? Or just like giving them treats?

I'm sure PETA has an opinion; what's yours?

Sometimes, they are just big-boned. Or, really really hungry. Or, they look up at you with big sad eyes and a little "meow"...and you just have to feed them some extra treats.

Clearly, I have a fat cat of my own...
