Miserable moggie
An overweight cat in Britain has been prescribed anti-depressants after being the victim of bullying.
Twiglet, a 12-year-old grey short-haired tabby, was too afraid to go out after being taunted by other cats and her weight ballooned to 15lbs.
The miserable pet also needs anger-management therapy because she keeps biting her owner Jackie Martin, from Brighton.
Jackie told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: "She developed an anger management problem and bites a lot. The vet said she had anxiety issues and depression brought on by the stress of being bullied by other cats.
"She was given the drugs to calm her down and alleviate anxieties.
"The problem is if you have a violent cat it’s just not possible to make her eat the tablets." Twiglet was prescribed a daily dose of the Prozac-like drug amitriptyline and has since shed 6lbs.
