More to love -- Utah above average for fat pets

Burt, a tabby who lives with the Sanders family in North Ogden, isn't fat -- he's just big-boned, claims his owner, David Sanders.

"I don't feed him that much. It's just the breed of the cat," Sanders said, adding he has never weighed Burt, who is 12 years old. "I've just picked him up and he's heavy. He's just a big cat."

Sanders' children, however, say their father is in denial, arguing that Burt has a serious weight problem.
