The overly rotund feline, Hercules, will be featured in an upcoming issue of Martha Stewart Living, for an article on helping pets lose weight.  Hercules may also become a &#8220;spokescat&#8221; for a high-protein, low-calorie cat food. So how is his diet progressing so far? He\u2019s lost about a pound, according to his owner, Geoff Earnest. Six months ago, Hercules left home while his owner Earnest received a lung transplant in Seattle. The publicity helped Earnest and Hercules reunite. Since the story surfaced, Hercules&#8217; popularity has exploded; a clip of Hercules racked up 400,000 hits on YouTube. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I randomly found this article from 2007 and had to post it.
