The story started trending on Twitter, so we asked big-boned felines on the social network to not only show off their claw-some body shapes but also to give their views on the pay disparity.
This is, of course, just a tongue-in-cheek look at the serious issue of pay discrepancy - but if you feel you have any pictures that would help us encapsulate stories making the news, then do get in touch and tweet @BBC_HaveYourSay.

Ferrari's Vettel, 29, swore at Whiting over his team radio while duelling with Max Verstappen on the track.
The German, who won four world titles at Red Bull, later apologised.
But Horner said: "In any sport, you can't give abuse to the referee."
He suggested the sport's governing body the FIA would look at the incident, and added: "I would be surprised if that went unreprimanded."
Vettel was stripped of his podium finish in Mexico after he was ruled to have raced in a dangerous manner.
After switching to Ferrari from Red Bull in 2015, Vettel won three races and came third overall behind Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. This year he is yet to win a race and lies fourth in the overall standings.
Both Horner and former Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo suggested Vettel's lack of success at Ferrari could have played a part in his outburst.
"It is not an attribute he had when he drove for us. Obviously his frustration he is vocalising, and everybody can hear that," Horner said.
"I definitely sense he has been a bit more frustrated this year," Ricciardo added.
Available FIA sanctions include a fine, or even suspending Vettel from the next race in Brazil.

The 18-year-old was walking through Cardonald Cemetery at about 15:30 on Friday when she was attacked.
Police have said she was touched inappropriately by a man who approached her from behind.
She managed to push him away and he ran off towards Corkerhill Road. The woman was not injured and did not require medical treatment but is said to have been very distressed by the experience.
The suspect is described as white, between 40 and 50 years of age, slim and of gaunt appearance. He had a Glasgow accent.
He was wearing a navy and blue waterproof jacket, black shorts and trainers which may also have been dark in colour.
Det Con Lauren Docherty said: "The young woman... had taken a shortcut through the cemetery.
"She had come in to the grounds from the Mosspark side and was nearing the exit at Tarfside Gardens when the man came up to her and indecently assaulted her.
"He then grabbed her roughly but she managed to push him off and he ran off towards Corkerhill Road.
Ms Docherty added: "The cemetery is used by a lot of local people as a shortcut between Mosspark and the Tarfside flats and I am sure at this time of day there would have been people about who may have seen this happen.
"It was also quite cold yesterday, so if you saw someone wearing shorts - the man didn't look like he was going to or coming from a sports centre - it may have looked out of place."
Anyone with information has been asked to call police on the 101 number or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
It is "Fat Cat Tuesday", the day of the year by which, according to campaign group the High Pay Centre, the average FTSE 100 chief executive will have earned more than the average annual salary.
