Per 
An instance of SCP-XXXX being measured after one (1) daily feeding
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Only Foundation Staff members that have scored (50) or higher on the psychic resistance scale can be assigned to the daily upkeep procedures of SCP-XXXX hosts. In addition, foundation staff members must have self-identified as "dog-people" in an environment isolated from any instances of SCP-XXXX, before being permitted to SCP-XXXX host maintenance.
Hosts of SCP-XXXX are to be kept within appropriate accommodations for non-anomalous instances of the host's species. The domestic short-haired cat, the most common form of SCP-XXXX host, is to be contained in a replica of a retirement home apartment with commercially available amenities for a domestic short-haired cat. Any form of automatic feeding is strictly prohibited. SCP-XXXX domestic cat hosts will receive three (3) daily feedings, one (1) daily litter box cleaning, and a minimum of one (1) daily twenty (20) minute session of chasing a string pulled by foundation staff or other such means of physical stimulation.
Each daily feeding is to consist of exactly 85 grams of commercially available wet cat food. Cat food will be weighed before delivering to SCP-XXXX hosts. If during the weighing process the cat food is discovered to be heavier than 85 grams, the entire portion of food will be disposed of and the measuring process begun anew.
For a full list of accommodations for all previously recorded SCP-XXXX host species, see Foundation document 2543-7.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a virus capable of manifesting in any breed of the felidae family of mammals, most commonly in the domestic short-haired cat. Hosts of SCP-XXXX can be identified by their ability to psychically manipulate nearby humans into giving said SCP-XXXX host food, implant feelings of affection towards the host, and the exponential growth in fat and size whenever the host consumes food.
Hosts of SCP-XXXX will seek out food without ceasing and have not yet been observed satiated, even after consuming more food than should be survivable for non-anomalous instances of the host species. Infected cats will gain fat at a disproportionately large amount compared to the amount of food consumed; the change in size is quick and observable even without specialized equipment. Because the amount of fat gained goes against the law of conservation of mass it is theorized that the excess fat could come from thousands of portals opened up by SCP-XXXX bringing mass from dimension [REDACTED] and into the host's body.
SCP-XXXX hosts will first gain mass in the stomach and typical fat regions of the host species until it reaches approximately four (4) times the identified "healthy" size determined by the International Veterinary Society. After reaching approximately four (4) times the fat size, SCP-XXXX hosts will continue to grow but the growth continues in bone, organ, and nervous systems keeping a ratio of the host's 4x size but the body continuing to grow. As long as the host continues to consume at a regular rate, the host appears to be impervious and when attempted to contain within concrete rooms, the body of the host will eventually outgrow the room and the walls will burst with no observable harm done to the host body.
SCP-XXXX is believed to have evolved alongside the domestication of felines in early human history.
WIP: Grows indefinitely while fed, discovered having suffocated an elderly woman in a retirement home in its fur, normal tabby cat, is believed to be connected to sphynx, requires daily stimulation else becomes restless and yowls, has psychic manipulative effects on "cat-people" related to the toxoplasma gondii, after eating 85g of food it weighs as if it had gained an equivalent 10 pounds, the more it eats the longer it takes to lose the weight, but it is constantly shrinking when not being fed, maybe make it so that it's an instance of the cat and there are multiple endlessly eating cats throughout the world, etc.
Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
WIP: Show the different pop culture forms of the SCP: garfield, sphynx, etc.
