This chubby kitty has been put on a diet but his owners are using the fact he was born with THUMBS to their advantage – as his paws are too big to steal snacks.

Tabby Bronson, four, has the genetic abnormality polydactyl, where the first digit of a cat’s for is longer and separated, resembling a human thumb.

Cat lovers Mike Wilson, 35, and his girlfriend Megan, 30, from Michigan, USA, adopted the moggy in April last year as a pal for their two other cats and were shocked at the porky pet’s 2st 3lbs [15kg] size.

The business owners have since been helping their lazy moggy drop the pounds – with him already shedding 4lbs [3lkg] 20 per cent of his bodyweight – and admitted his unusual deformity means he can’t fit his paws into the food puzzles they bought him.
