A former 41-pound (18.6-kilogram) cat has lost more than half of his weight to become the darling of a Dallas veterinary clinic.

Dr. Brittney Barton says the orange tabby she adopted in 2013 has slimmed down to 19 pounds (8.6 kilograms) with exercise and a special diet.

The ex-fat cat spends weekdays roaming the clinic and weekends at home with Barton and her family.

Barton says Skinny is living proof that, while he’s supposed to be a large cat, ”he’s not supposed to be an obese cat.”
