Beastly Bites has a a morbidly obese cat. The cat is so fat that she can barely walk and is unable to clean herself. Her fur is dirty and she kind of smells. When a cat is that big, they can't properly clean themselves and the fact that she kind of smells tells me they don't clean the litter box, which I'm sure is located in the basement. This is pure and total neglect and coming from a pet store I find this quite disturbing. The fact that the cat is so big tells me that they just put out dry food and allow the cat to graze. Cats are not grazers, they are hunters. Doing this messes with their metabolism. She will have diabetes for sure. And judging from the condition of her coat, lack of shine and overall texture of her fur, she isn't fed healthy food either. No moist food, just dry. When I questioned the man working there if they ever brush the cat, he said they do. I asked him for the brush so I could brush her and he couldn't find one, which means in a store full of pet supplies, they don't use one on their cat. I took one off the shelf, bought it and brushed her. Her coat was loaded with knots and it is dirty and flaky from lack of care. She is the sweetest cat, so I don't believe she is physically abused, just emotionally neglected. This would be expected at the local bodega, but at a pet store! I am ashamed for them. Please contact me when the cat gets sick and I will take her. read more
