Sorry to say but yes. just as people the weight makes the heart work harder. Just think of all that's going on right now with people and children being overweight , the same goes for a pet whether cat or dog, or any other pet.

They are prone to heart disease and other illnesses..just like overweight humans are. Put them on a light cat food and within a few months, you will see a big difference.

It is true because a cat needs to be healthy just like us humans so being fat is not healthy and you should put your cat on a diet

Yes, it is true. My vet said so to my lady Alice. From that horrible day, Alice gives me tiny tiny portions of food and I am always hungry. She is not touched by my desperate meaownings or my playful tumbles around her. No, she will not give me anything extra to eat. I weigh almost 8 kgs. and vet says I should reduce to 5 kgs. immediately.
I protest!
Mr.Linus, the cat.

Sadly, it is true. Obese animals are prone to more diseases. I would try putting him on a diet.
