When it comes to water, this fatso's no pussy.

肥貓佛陀水下運動一開始，那是一點也不含糊。

In fact, you wouldn't think he's a cat at all. Buddha, who weighed 31.4 pounds when his human died, quickly got used to his water treadmill at Stonewater Animal Rehabilitation in Franklin, Tennessee, WKRN reports. He used to weigh more than two healthy cats, but with a strict diet and 21 minutes a day on his weightlifting treadmill, he's lost nearly 5 pounds.

肥貓佛陀被送到田納西州的動物康復中心時的體重達有31.4磅，在這裏它接受了水下跑步機減肥訓練，並很快適應了這樣的生活。佛陀的體重是健康貓咪體重的一倍還要多，在接受減肥訓練後以及嚴格的飲食控制21天以後，佛陀成功甩掉了5磅肉。

"One might think that a cat in water is cruel, how could you do that? But it really has made a huge difference in his health. It's been fantastic," Volunteer Penny Adams told the station.

“有人會質疑說，把貓放進水裏訓練是不是有些殘忍，你們怎麼可以這樣做呢？但是這樣的訓練確實給佛陀的健康但來了巨大的變化，它現在棒極了。”志願者Penny Adams告訴大家。

The cat experts at The Cat Shoppe in Nashville -- who took Buddha in after his owner died -- believe he's obese because he was used to eating people food, including pasta and rice. That's bad for kitty.

將佛陀帶去動物康復中心的貓專家認爲佛陀的肥胖源於佛陀死去的前主人餵它吃人的食品，包括意大利麪和米飯。這些食品對貓貓是不健康的。

When he began his rehabilitation, he wasn't too fond of the water. By his sixth visit, he was practically frolicking on the treadmill. The submerged machine, which is usually used on fat dogs, helps Buddha carry some of his weight and relieves encumbered joints.

佛陀最初接受水下跑步機訓練時，它不喜歡水，6次訓練以後，它就很自如了。水下跑步機通常是給肥胖的狗狗用的減肥訓練儀器，然而，用在佛陀身上，可以利用水的浮力減小它在運動時體重對關節的壓力。

His goal is 20 pounds, at which point he'll be put up for adoption. In the meantime, The Cat Shoppe is chronicling his progress on its Facebook page. Volunteers report that he's healthier and happier than ever!
