He can't even see his toes anymore. He loves food and sleeping too much! He eats biscuits and pies, sausage and peas. He simply gorges on milk and cheese.

While That Fat Cat naps, the mice take away all the food in the house. Butch the Dog, a retired champion racing greyhound, takes it upon himself to train That Fat Cat to live a healthier lifestyle.
