Does this door make my ass look fat?

If you're a cat person, this is sort of a Garfield tm story:

Goliath, a 20-pound stray whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food, is back with his owner.

His name isn't really Goliath, but it's close. It's Hercules, says owner Geoff Ernest, who was reunited with his tubby tabby Thursday at the Oregon Humane Society.

Gresham resident Jadwiga Drozdek found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.

Ernest said he had a house-sitter when he went to Seattle for a lung transplant six months ago, and Hercules departed.

Unfortunately, while Hercules was at the Humane Society he was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV in humans. About 40 percent of cats in the US are deemed to be obese. That's about 10 percent higher than the obesity rates for humans.
