Knood is a thin housecat whose only desire is to be fat like his friend Fin. One day, Knood asks Fin what he can do to make himself fat, too. Fin tells Knood to stay by his food dish and eat every single bit of food his owner serves to him. Knood is then cheerful, certain that his friend’s advice will be the key in helping him put on the extra pounds. But when things go wrong and Knood has gained too much weight, he begins to see that his friend’s advice is not the best advice.
