    <<New Cold War over fat cats?
    By Jennifer Harper
    THE WASHINGTON TIMES
         
    The race is on to determine the fattest cat on the globe. Top Stories

         It's koshka vs. kitty.
         Katy the koshka — Russian for "cat" — is a rotund feline monster living
    in the mining town of Asbest, near the Ural Mountains of Siberia. At 50
    pounds, Katy is a cat to be reckoned with.
         The big Siamese has a taste for sour cream and fish of all persuasions,
    and she can gnash her way through a sausage in about 45 seconds, according to
    owner Tamara Yapugova. Katy's day ends with a half-pound supper of meat.
         "She doesn't really eat that much," Mrs. Yapugova told the Russian news
    service Pravda.
         Perhaps that is in the eye of the beholder. Katy's waist measures almost
    28 inches, and she has a "whisker span" of six inches.
         Mrs. Yapugova has contacted the Guinness Book of Records, hoping to
    unseat the current "heaviest living cat."
         The title belongs to "Orange Thing," an American kitty from Minnetonka,
    Minn., who weighed in at a respectable 40 pounds and 14 ounces when he made
    the record book five years ago.
         But this catfight may be for naught. Guinness wants nothing to do with
    fat cats or tubby tabbies...>>
