I knew a woman who did that to her cat. It's a weird anthropomorphizing relationship dynamic when people do that to their pets.
I have two big boys I adopted when one was 6 and the other 11... I put them on a proper house cat diet of cheapo ghetto crunchies and table scraps in clean dishes... and lots of water... they trimmed down to the proper size.
I never lose sight that when left to their own devices they would be eating rodents on the ground and garbage out of the dumpster... so they still have it good... just not fancy with me. My cats live more than twice as long as ferals do... 14 to 21 years old... neutered and immunized. Easy pets. I let them be cats.
No rodents in my house... although they did share their breakfast with a possum once...poor thing saw me and fainted... I carried it outside and gave it an apple... so freakin cute.

Our cat's a friendly guy who'd eat himself to 38 pounds if we let him, but we don't. He gets along with our 3 dogs and plays a lot with one of them (chase, taking turns).
We've had more than a couple opossums take up residence around our house or in the basement when it gets cold. Several years ago, just before what turned out to be a bitterly cold winter for her, a mama gave birth to 10 joeys in our basement. She got through to it from a crawl space in another section of our house.
We fed them all winter with tuna and dog food mostly (which our vet recommended) and left fresh water. In the spring, when the joeys were old enough to fend for themselves, I trapped mama and the rest of them and relocated them to a copse of woods behind our house. The runt returned three times, so I took her to a wildlife rescue where she lived out the rest of her life by a beautiful creek behind their medical building. Staff at Walden's Puddle told me she came up on the porch every afternoon for a treat. Guess she liked people. She was really cute both as a youngster and juvenile.
I've trapped and relocated others who've shown up around here to a beautiful lake minutes from my house that doesn't have any residences on it and tens of thousands of acres of surrounding woods with everything they need.
Most people aren't aware opossums only live an average of 2 years. They aren't aggressive at all, carry no diseases, and are really neat creatures all the way around. America's only marsupials.
