This is what a 500+lb cat looks like up close.

Your point?
They nueter all their big cats, as all captive cats should be, or at least not let to breed.

 


 

My point: size correlation when it comes to neutered cats. For comparison reasons between wild and captive animals. If you want to compare captive and wild tigers to look what´s different in terms of body composition, then neutered tigers shouldn´t be included and if even so, then with a clear remark. But to me it wouldn´t make a whole lot of sense, since we all know how neutering effects size/growth.

 

 

That makes no sense, neutered cats grow no larger or smaller than any other captive cat.
Just because you see more neutered cats that you might consider "obese" there is no real data or evidence that says they are larger or smaller. Body dimensions do not change at all, maybe they become more lazy when neutered and that leads to being obese more often than not. But it has nothing to do with their dimensions and it also doesn't mean that some neutered cats aren't still in great shape for captive. Like Doc obviously is.

A little more proof of what a monster and how healthy Doc is, here is the latest vid of him.

Neutered or not, captive or not. He is fast, athletic and monstrous. Certainly not even close to being considered obese, he is just a massive animal that is in great shape and is a perfect example of what a healthy 500+ lb cat looks like in captivity.
