A monster moggy found dumped in a sports bag severely overweight has undergone an extraordinary transformation after being nurtured back to a healthier weight with a strict diet and exercise plan.
The two-year-old cat named Big Betha weighed almost two stone - nearly three times the average - when she was rescued after being dumped in a park in Birmingham in October last year.
With the average weight of a UK domestic cat being 4kg, Big Bertha was found to be almost triple the weight at almost 12kg and heavily matted.
