PORTLAND, Ore. - A 20-pound stray cat whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food was reunited with his owner Thursday.

Owner Geoff Ernest said the tubby tabby Hercules (called Goliath while at the animal shelter) went missing while Ernest was in Seattle for a lung transplant six months ago.

Jadwiga Drozdek, who lives in suburban Portland, found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.

1. The pictures of this cat just make me laugh. I can't help it, every time, I just laugh

I know he's overweight, I know it's not healthy but he's hilarious!

2. he looks just like my 18lb cat Rogue... only

Rogue doesn't have those jowls.

I don't know how to put him on a diet as we have 2 other cats and they all eat from the same feeding station.
