Fat Eric, the celebrity cat!
A cat with his own website? That'd be Fat Eric, just one of many cats happily adopted from Chestnut Cat Sanctuary.
On his website - http://fatericandfriends.blogspot.com - Fat Eric admits to being a Scorpio and living in Walthamstow. He also gives his occupation as "fat cat", naturally!
His owner, Kate, whom Eric describes as his "human servant", told us the story:
"We adopted Fat Eric and his sister Hattie from Chestnut Cat Sanctuary in October 2004 (they were called Max and Molly before we changed their names). They were both extremely fluffy, a ginger and white brother and sister and 8 years old at the time.
"Sadly, only 5 months after we adopted them Hattie died from cancer, despite the best efforts of our vet. Fat Eric, however, is still running the house at the age of 12 and a half. He is a very affectionate character with many strange little habits, and still licks people's hair whenever he gets a chance, as he did to the staff at Chestnut too...
"Fat Eric has also become an Internet celebrity with his own website for the past two years at http://fatericandfriends.blogspot.com, and gets lots of presents from his American fans.

"We have thought about adopting another cat but Eric seems to prefer being a spoilt only cat, these days, and quickly sees off other cats who visit his garden.
"Just thought you would like to know about a former Chestnut cat who is very much still living it large!"
Let Fat Eric keep living it up for many years to come!
