About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.
The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

Munchkin Identified
I think I first became aware of the picture of Munchkin the Monster Cat two years ago. The picture always perplexed me because Munchkin seemed too big to be real, but I couldn't see any evidence it was photoshopped. The Sydney Morning Herald, however, decided it was a hoax. But it turns out Munchkin was real. His owner, Susan Martin of Ontario, Canada, just contacted me with more pictures of her former pet (he died Sassy was born in Virginia, and moved to Canada in 1991 with me. He was a kitten then and after we had him fixed he started getting fat. I never thought anything of it cause he slept so much. His visits to the Blair Animal Hospital did not find any problems with him and could not figure out why he was so fat. He was on diet food for about 8 years. In 1999 he was noted as being 15.9 kilos. in 2001 he was listed as 40 pounds and then lost 8 when he died. He did not eat an excess amount of food and did not eat table scraps. A bite or two of chicken or tuna was his favorite. I miss him very much and often find his picture posted on various web sites.
The fattest cat in the world weighs about fifty pounds. Here are more pictures of Sassy:

To the person who posted ages ago about the spots on sassy's back, there is also a breed called an Egyptian Mau that has the same coat but they are scrawny little things similar to siamese cats.
And JFYI when i was little we lived on a farm in outback Australia (Queensland, and we had a stray that showed up in the machinery shed so we adopted her, she had several litters kittens through the years and at least 2 kittens in every litter had the same coat as Sassy.

you say he didn't eat table scraps, but then you say he loved tuna and chicken...tuna is high in fat. I can't believe that anyone would let their cat get that big. I just want to know, if he was an indoor cat, did you exercise him?
Posted by Jenn on Sat Sep 15, 2007 at 12:01 AMhehe...boy this cat was fat, he reminds me of cartman from that southpark cartoon.
Posted by ItsMe in Netherlands on Sun Nov 25, 2007 at 06:58 PMWe crazy French love to laugh at fat people. But now we are being told that it is symptom of disease and it will be cured and we will look evil like people who throw rocks at lepers. This is stupid! No?! People with cancer are very funny to see when parts of bodies are deformed or missing. But sometimes their families come over and they will hit you FOR NO REASONS! People with MS are also funny to watch. They look drunk but they will sue you for being happy and having fun. They need to find senses of humor. Once midgets were fun to see. Now they carry knives and kick or bite you for no good reasons. If we French can not have fun of fat people then how can we enjoy life?! They only look this way because they enjoy this. So this is not fair!!!
Remerciez Dieu de fat cats! They are so very funny. Keep feeding them from McDonald's and letting them watch television with remote controls because this has been proved scientifiquement to be only reasons for being fat.

this cat is so funny 
his owner is lying that he was this way by accident
he was force fed the same way fat people do to themselves because they like to get beatdown
they can't have sex so it takes the place of sex
in school we would stick them with tacks and they would pretend to be hurt but they do not really feel it because they are fat
so teachers would grab them and put them in detention for jumping and yelling when we stuck them and they would pretend to cry and get depresed
this is fun because they do not really have feelings like real people do
scientest who try to say it is a disease and it will be cured are the same dumb stupid people who don't want us to enjoy drinking drugs and sex
they can't have fun because they are OLD LIKE THE CRYPT KEEPER
so they are only trying to spoil any fun that is left in this world for all the rest of us
show more fat cats
they are funny
