When Mr. Pickles, first arrived at the Scottish SPCA’s Aberdeenshire centre, he weighed an astounding 12kgs last year. The staff at the Drumoak centre immediately put the cat on a strict diet and exercise regime and he has now reached 6.5kgs or almost half his original weight.
Assistant manager Debbie Innes said: “It’s extremely important owners keep their cats at a healthy weight.
