Tiddles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tiddles the Paddington Station Cat (1970–1983) was a cat who spent most of his 13-year long life in the ladies' lavatory at Paddington Station, London, England. Constantly being fed meat and poultry brought to him by his many admirers, he became 'London Fat Cat Champion' in 1982 at 30 lb (13.6 kg), and eventually reached a maximum weight of 32 lb (14.5 kg). Tiddles was put to sleep in 1983 after veterinarians found fluid around his lungs.
