The cats (and dogs) that really DID get the cream! Fat animals are pictured in hilarious online gallery

  • Owners have been sharing images of their overweight animals on the internet
  • One tabby cat is so obese it can barely haul itself up to the dinner table
  • In other snaps, a dog and a hamster struggle to move due to their extra weight

A chubby hamster, a fat cat and an overweight horse are just some of the unfortunate animals features in a new online gallery.

In one snap, a chubby Basset Hound can be seen taking a well-deserved nap as it takes a well-deserved break from snacking.

Meanwhile, one hamster appears so full of food it can barely move from its curled-up position on its owner's hand. 

Whether the result of overfeeding or just a bad diet, these poor pets all look less than impressed at being snapped from unflattering angles in these pictures shared by their doting owners.
