What is Fat Lawrence about?

Lawrence is an enormously fat black cat with a very unusual routine: he enjoys breakfast, lunch, tea and supper at four different homes. When walking between meals becomes tiring and he hopes to impress Bella, a beautiful cat nearby, Lawrence decides to lose weight. He soon becomes slimmer, but Bella does not recognise him—and she prefers fat cats! Lawrence must decide whether being healthy and fashionable matters more than being himself and enjoying his favourite meals.
