MLB player forced to part ways with his insanely fat cat
When the San Francisco Giants traded Matt Duffy to the Tampa Bay Rays, the infielder was forced with a decision to leave his fat cat behind. Apparently, it's too hot in Florida for the massive feline.

Matt Duffy (@mm_duffy) "it's too hot" for Skeeter in Tampa "He's a big boy, it's too humid. He'll keep living the good life with my parents"

It's very sad news for many reasons. Obviously it's never fun to separate a pet from its owner, but Skeeter seems especially irreplaceable.

The famous cat has over 14,000 followers on his Instagram account. Fans love him – and the Rays were even willing to welcome him into the program:
