«Fat Lawrence» is Dick King-Smith's children's novel, published by Puffin in paperback (64 pages, in English).
Lawrence is an enormously gluttonous black cat who spreads his meals across several households without his owners knowing. Over time, all that feasting takes its toll: he gains weight, gets tired, and suffers indigestion. When his friends suggest he slim down to win over a female cat, Lawrence must decide between being slender or becoming a huge cat again.
The book belongs to the Colour Young Puffin collection, was published in 2001, and is illustrated by Mike Terry.
It is suitable for early readers aged 7 and up and for anyone who enjoys animal stories and humour.
