Check out the Maru hoihoi (if you don't know what a gokiburi hoihoi is, count yourself lucky. It's a Japanese cockroach motel.) Also fat cat in blue bowl. Also staaaarving cat lying for weeeeks next to empty bowl unable to move from hunger and weakness and the last stages of food deprivation...

The breed is identical the world over.
