An obese stray cat found wandering six months ago near Dallas has slimmed down to 15kg and been adopted by the veterinarian overseeing his care.
Dr. Brittney Barton said that the orange tabby dubbed Skinny is doing well on a special diet to help lose weight and increase his metabolism.
Barton says she became attached to the onetime 19kg cat she was treating at an animal orphanage and last month he became part of her family. Skinny joins Barton’s husband, three children, a dog and another cat at her home.

一隻六個月前被人發現徘徊於達拉斯附近的暴肥流浪公貓，如今已瘦到約十五公斤，而且被監督其健康的獸醫領養。
布蘭妮．巴頓醫生表示，這隻被暱稱為「小瘦瘦」、吃著有助減重與增加新陳代謝食物的橘斑貓，情況很不錯。
巴頓說，她在一家動物孤兒院照顧這隻一度胖到約十九公斤的貓咪時，開始愛上牠，並在上個月讓這隻貓成為她家中的一份子。「小瘦瘦」與巴頓的老公、三個小孩、一隻狗與另外一隻貓成為一家人。
巴頓說，「小瘦瘦」和其他動物們相處愉快，會跳上沙發並在吃飯時間跑向牠的貓食袋。她說，她家裡有長走廊，能讓「小瘦瘦」好好運動。

Inside the main hall, people held incense sticks, bowed three times,
You might think knitting is only for grandmas, but surprisingly, many young people are embracing so-called “grandma hobbies.” On social media platforms, activities such as home cooking, embroidery and gardening are becoming popular among teenagers and young adults who are drawn to their relaxing and creative nature. “Grandma hobbies” typically refer to activities that are slow-paced, handmade and nostalgic.
