That owner should be charged with animal cruelty. It is their responsibility to look it

I think that cat goes beyond "Oh lawd he comin'!" He needs a new category called "How are you still alive?!"

Jeezus! Looks like the Chershire Cat.

I love him, but I also want him to live longer.

This makes me so sad. It breaks my heart.

So, at my conservatory there was a cat that was more obese than this one, never understood why they keep feeding her so much.
GeraltsUnpaidIntern
My cat wasn't even this fat when I adopted her, and she was still too fat to clean her own ass. This shit ain't cute at all
marquettegoldeneagles
Do you think he will be ok?
Rhythmaster
Not sure, maybe if he can lose the weight. Last famous internet fat kitty I heard about died at the age of 4.. congestive heart failure.

I'm not sure if that leaping motion is realistic...

Make no mistake, that is absolutely animal abuse

Probably people who just want to enjoy the picture. It's a little bit of a buzz kill for me to say that. It still should be said though

You’re my boy, Blue.

Poor baby. Hope he gets a good home soon.

He's not a cute chubby flufferwuffer he is a victim of abuse and has a hard time coming to get back to normal.

The last famous "chonky cat" from the internet died of congestive heart failure at the age of 4. 4 years, that's it, that is unacceptable,
Rhythmaster
To reduce your pets lifespan by at least 2/3rds? It's so sad, and the cat would be just as happy on a normal diet... probably happier...
SeleneEvelyn
Those toe beans say it all.
Toro1d
I'm not a cat owner, but they look discolored. Are those stains, or indications of a disease?
SeleneEvelyn
I'm no expert on cat toe pad discoloration, but I'd reason that the toe pad colors are indiffenrt characteristics to the cat.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
No, toe beans can be different colors.

That poor cat. How horrible.

Could you imagine if I walked up and said that about to you. Like right to your face.
Rhythmaster
Cats arent people. Apples to oranges here. We also don't call people "good boy" or "good girl" because its condescending. But we do for cats
volch1tsa
And he looks so scared :(
Johnnyflame04
Why don't we have the same reaction to fat kids and their parents that let them get that way?

We don't?

That obese is life threatening and kitty will get priority rehabilitation ASAP I'm sure. Poor fluff
LaurenBlackFox
Problem with cat skin is it doesn't shrink after it's been stretched like human skin does. All that extra skin will need tucking surgery :(
TrixNStix
The "primordial pouch" of loose skin doesn't impair movement whatsoever nor cause any health issues - tummy tuck is human vanity.
TrixNStix
And surgery is invasive & holds significant risk for complications. Kitty will still be beautiful & more healthy with swinging kittytitties
LaurenBlackFox
You're correct to an extent, but if the loose skin impairs the cat's ability to walk, drags on the floor it'll need tucking.
Rhythmaster
It reminds me of this "fat acceptance" group that had posters up at the university. Their mascot was some fat cat from the internet, and i

Found it a bit strange, especially since that cat had died of congestive heart failure at the age of 4 YEARS OLD. Maybe undercutting your
Rhythmaster
Message a bit there... their slogan was "fat kitty says 'there is no wrong way to have a body'". Sure I agree we shouldnt shame fat people,
Rhythmaster
But teaching young people that they can be equally "healthy at any size" is kind of a harmful message in my opinion...
TomatoPepper
How can an owner do that to a pet?
capnadorable
*looks at own fat body* *cries*
queernosaur
The same way people do this to their children without meaning to I assume ...

My poor fat girl’s former human shared all his food with her. When he died his fam wanted to put her down. Said “my furry bowling ball now!”

They confuse love with food. It may very well be some lil old lady that kept feeding a crying cat and she love it so much.
DeltaLaw
This makes sense. Also applies to parents, especially with young kids

Also some cats are prone to become obese more rapidly than others. Just like humans.

I love how people get so upset when it’s a pet but a child? Pfft disgusting ?♀️
queernosaur
Wouldn't call it disgusting though
ArchonIlladrya
Letting a child become obese is abuse, too. Nobody is arguing otherwise.
IwasAlmostAdoctor
I know, but i guess my beef was that we care more about pets that children - sauce? Worked in pet industry college
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
I'm interested in the literal how. My pet has access to food and isn't fat. Does it depend on the pet's personality? Type of food offered?
Spootanany
I've got cats. Used to free feed them just fine. Now with the new one they all started over eating. They all have a feeding schedule now
Zreen
Probably a combination of affects, including lack of physical activity. *looks at past self for the last 15 years* yep, definitely
teacher745
My vet said most cats can self regulate eating but not all can. Having multiple cats makes food regulation harder, too.
TomatoPepper
Both, plus the activity level

Even on strict diet food and complete cut off of human food Fat Girl is having trouble losing weight. Her joints hurt so she 1/2

Isn’t as active as she should be. But she isn’t active so her joints hurt. It’s a bad cycle I’m still working on with her.

There is a feeder you can get that integrates with the cats chip so only certain cats can get food at certain times
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
to put it back up, fatty's right there gobbling it down. She lies in wait for it. And she's so quiet and sneaky to not attract attention. /3
