A fat cat went to fat camp. Laila is a cat from Gainesville, Florida, that is apparently obsessed with food. A rescue, she was reportedly found close to starvation. Since then, she’s developed a healthy appetite. At her heaviest, Laila weighed in at 23 pounds, and couldn’t jump on anything. So her owners took her to a vet, who came up with a surprising solution. Once a week, Laila visits “fat camp” at the University of Florida. There, she goes through a series of workouts specifically designed to help her lose weight. These include running on the treadmill and going for a swim. Laila is the only cat at the fat camp and has dropped 2 pounds so far
