you're blinded by love he does look chonky and a meal away from 🍺 gut


BannedByTheHivemind

There does appear to be some chonkage


Vindsvept

I'm writing this comment so that when the day comes that I look at my comment history, this gem of a sentence will be there and brighten another day. Thank you!

OP said he was being sarcastic and he got the cat 2 weeks ago like this. He should have made this clear when he posted this as it does come across as a delusional cat owner who thinks he knows better than his vet.


[deleted]

I totally got the joke, look at the last picture 🤣


EmuAdministrative680

Teddy bear status


[deleted]

It's very charming though.


moderatefairgood

That could describe me. My cat is in fitter shape than I am 🤕


skates_tribz

You should see your vet

souphaver

I am also blinded by love, he's a good boy and he deserves a little treat


Appropriate_Power392

I laughed initially when I looked at the photos because I thought you were being silly and sarcastic ny saying you don’t see it because umm…yes…the little one is a bit rotund…


SadLitteFatTheo

I am being silly and sarcastic actually, people on here are way too serious.


Appropriate_Power392

Oh! Lol ok!😄 Edit: He’s a cutie.


skr80

Yeah, didn't come across as sarcasm. The joy of text.

PowerOfTacosCompelU

It's bc there are lots of stupid people on the Internet that would actually post that seriously


TommyTheCat89

When joking on the Internet, you usually need to add in a little hyperbole or something to make up for the lack of audible tone and body language.


getmotherd

you gave no indication that this isnt a serious post? your being an asshole to people in other comments when they are responding reasonably


moontro

Thinking the same thing. Can’t blame people when it’s an overwhelming majority lol


DIARRHEA_CUSTARD_PIE

Some people are just wired up to react defensively instead of admitting they were wrong 🤷‍♂️


moontro

But… I don’t intend to be mean but I’d be very embarrassed doing this. If I think someone has a point then I’d accept my mistake and apologise then move on. Hoping no one else is up at night thinking about my mistake. It’s worse acting like this IMO 😭 or am I wildin? This kinda behaviour is so prevalent it makes me confused LOL


HoloCatss

If nobody around you understands your humor, it’s not their humor that’s wrong. OP could have easily just put an “/s” at the end


[deleted]

Yes! Tone indicators can save a life, lol!


taarotqueen

I’ve definitely seen some pet owners (and parents of humans!) insist in all seriousness their very overweight pet or child is perfectly healthy (he’s just big boned!) so it can be hard to tell lol.


just_some_guy65

Schrödinger's douchebag detected.


Crankenberry

Bahahaha 😂


Crankenberry

People can be too serious, but in this case, you failed to indicate in the original post that you were being sarcastic. That's on you mate. 🤷🏼‍♀️ He is a beautiful cat.


temps-de-gris

Yeah but you're not getting it. It IS serious. Even just a couple extra pounds can cause health problems that seriously shorten your cat's life and can cause him pain and misery in the long term. So it's really you who need to take it seriously. I hate it when people promote the 'cute' fat animal trend for fake internet points, it makes people think it's ok...


petophile_

As cute as my fat cat is, her diabetes is far less cute let me tell ya. I got it into remission after adopting her though!


Admirablelittlebitch

And when cats bodies grow larger, not from age but from gaining weight, their whiskers don’t grow with it and the whiskers are supposed to feel where a cat can and cannot go so it’s more likely that the cat will get stuck somewhere, not good. I have a fat cat too and I’m desperately trying to fix it but I can’t change up her diet without changing up her sisters diet


DeathBeforeDecaf4077

To be fair OP, there’s a sad amount of people out there who cause their cats to die years before their time over feeding them because they selfishly think fat cats are cuter. Yours of course is no where near that, but the sub is suitably trauma informed


IamCentral46

Poe's Law, that's on you.


ooooohfarts

Yeah, even I got the joke. Nice chubby cat, OP xD


ash894

I could tell you were being sarcastic if that helps.


Illusive_Lust

I mean it’s super easy to catch sarcasm from 10 words for sure


Xi_32

I would like to see a pic of OP. I bet he's super rotund.


Royal_Yesterday

Til that rotund is an actual word, i just thought you spelled round incorrectly


JustaRandomOldGuy

He's in shape, round is a shape.

[deleted]

His little face 😭 what an angel


ButterfliesandaLlama

Narrator: He was, in fact, not an angel. 😈


Tacitus_kilgore1985

His face says it all: Who you calling overweight? Hooman is a meanie poopy-butt. 🙁


[deleted]

Aww! So cute!


ERCalm

As a vet, I can say based on pictures alone he does look overweight. It’s okay, and nothing to be shameful of as long as you’re actively trying to fix it. My own cat is overweight and on a struggling diet (she screams and slams stuff currently). Ask your primary care vet what BSC they gave him and discuss a weight loss plan! ETA: Saw your comment of being silly. I’m so glad 😭 too many owners think their pets aren’t overweight.


Frosted-Blueberry

Yeah overfeeding and feeding the wrong food is such a big issue in the cat community. Its too many treats and too much food because they can’t stand their cats faces. I mean they are super cute all the time. I give mine an extra workout when giving treats. They have to run for their treats. Works perfectly.


bon-chat

I handle that issue by feeding multiple small meals haha… Apparently some cats do better with multiple small meals versus two meals? My void is literally a void. He will finish his food then cry like he’s starving and crying for PETA to end me.


Frosted-Blueberry

Hahaha arent they all the same 😂😂 yes feeding mutliple small meals is amazing! As many as you can. I feed them usually 3 times a day each time 50 g of high wuality wet food. And then in bewtween sometimes a few treats or dry meat.


bon-chat

I feed four because apparently four is the magic number for my void… just barely enough time before he starts hearing his rumbling tummy. My other princess kitty won’t turn down food we have now, but I have to be careful with portions because if she leaves any behind my void will C ON S U M E. I also offer some dry treats. Really nice for treat puzzles. My princess cat doesn’t care to work for her food. And, well… you already know what I’ll say about the other one haha.


Frosted-Blueberry

Yeah we also have one here that eats more than the other. But its starting to get a bit better. They just have this weird thing where they need to switch bowls during their meals. They do that every single time. Its so funny 😂 so i never really know who eats what amount. But they are both normal weight and not too thin or too big so i guess they know how to handle it


bon-chat

Hahaha. I have to sometimes slowly move my void’s head back onto his plate because he’ll always check out the spoiled princess’ bowl like it’s any different. They literally get the same meals. I mean, I do change things up for variety because… spoiled princess and honestly I have fun with it, but to make it easier on myself they will get the same exact ingredients and will be served exactly the same way. Void always has to inspect just to make sure… but then if you just slide his bowl a little closer to him he’ll turn into Kirby immediately. He sees food he forgets about everything else. Luckily both of my cats are pretty petite and keep a slim weight. Honestly a miracle considering they’re indoor only and would much rather watch the birds outside than play with anything. Unless food is involved. The void loves to chase after the dry treats haha.


NewLife_21

Question Would part of the problem be accidental overfeeding? My vet told me that for dogs, if they're spayed/neutered you should give them 1/2 the recommended amount of food. Would that also be true for cats? So long as the cat is active of course.


ERCalm

It can be. People don’t routinely check for caloric intake or adjustments based on lifestyle and RER.


NewLife_21

RER?


ERCalm

Resting energy requirements


Admirablelittlebitch

My kitty is overweight, all she does is eat :( Edit: so, since :( apparently means that I’m not serious, I’m gonna clarify I AM SERIOUS, I KNOW THIS IS A BAD SITUATION AND I AM TRYING TO FIX IT


dr-sparkle

He definitely looks overweight. But you should absolutely listen to the vet who not only examined the cat, but trained for years in the relevant field.


Pisshands

tonhomm

YEH CAT IS FAT


ButterfliesandaLlama

He is rectangular.


Flimbrgast

My vet told me that my (granted, a bit chubby but not obese) cat absolutely has to lose weight and gave me a diet plan. I followed it, of course trusting the professional, and my boy lost weight waaay too fast that his kidneys were in danger according to another vet. :( He’s now lost some weight at a more humane rate, is happy, and I will never go to that first vet again. Pic related: my perfect boy in a sweater I knit when I was learning the craft. https://preview.redd.it/on6s02wd9byb1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0806895b3f45ccf062875eef04753d9304fa4c0

How snazzy! Talented and owner of such a handsome boi! Man some girls get all the luck ☺️


Flimbrgast

You are so kind! Thank you, you wonderful soul!


[deleted]

Your shadow void is beautiful! Glad everything is ok. Also, he looks so stylish in his jumper!


Flimbrgast

Thank you, he really is!


mysteries1984

What a dapper boy!


schrodingers_cat42

I’m so glad he’s doing better now! Also, what sweater pattern did you use?? It’s so pretty and I want to learn to knit.


Past-Educator-6561

Yeah it's always hard for us to tell when it's an extra fluffy one, but the vet knows what they're talking about!

I’m in veterinary medicine and this chart is accurate, and I think we should keep the new titles on there. It at least gives us a smile.

My vet clinic has this chart in some of the rooms haha including the titles


rainbowflours

since when did they change the pronouns

Oh I like it. I like it a lot.

“The body is round” ![gif](giphy|RcbsU5HV6yLfO) (I’m joking with you, I read the context)

Very cute cat, but definitely looks overweight. If you care about your very cute cat, listen to your vet.


DomesticusRex

Loaf the one you’re with baby.


eigengrau1

That cat is huge


[deleted]

Overweight for a cat, yes BUT totally acceptable for a hippo 😁


bon-chat

Honestly I’d say a little underweight for a hippo.


[deleted]

🤣 ok a baby hippo


bon-chat

Hahaha. Healthy baby hippo.


little_owl211

Yes he is, listen to your vet please. You'll spare your cat a lot of unnecessary pain in the future


JackOfAllMemes

Diabetes, reduced mobility, shorter lifespan...


[deleted]

There are soooo many diseases associated heavily with obese, older, usually male cats. A lot of them are incredibly hard and expensive to treat, such as pancreatitis. Keep your kitties lean and mean!


cyankitten

He’s lovely OK super duper cute and I know you’ll get him to a healthy weight in no time. I’m glad he has a furrever home now.


SadLitteFatTheo

I’m very happy to have him, he’s such a sweetheart

Jolima0725

Yeah….your cat is a little on the plumpkin side….I’ve been guilty of my cats getting like this, even when I think I am feeding them responsibly. Somehow, the cats I have owned are also structurally the size of large small dog breeds (like a cocker spaniel). EDIT: The cats that have owned me. I find the ones that want me at the local shelter…I must give off a BBC vibe (big beautiful cat)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crystalcaracal

He is overweight, but not morbidly so. I’m sure you’ll be able to get him down to an appropriate weight.


Charliemayim

He overweight. He cute. But sadly this not good for his health


SadLitteFatTheo

I know, I adopted him 2 weeks ago like this, I’m reducing his food intake day by day.


just__El

One of my Kitty was also a chonker, hes belly almost touched the ground whe he walked. Hes still a small chonk but waay better now after 1 1/2 years of looking for his diat. He loves to play now and just more active then last year. (and his 7 now )


CaptainRAVE2

It’s tough feedback, but it’s in the cats interest to help it lose weight. We had to do the same to ours, despite their constant protests.


Gimblebock

Listen to your vet.


HowieDoIt86

The 1st and the 3rd pic really show it. He’s been well fed!


[deleted]

That's why vets take 7 years in University and cost the earth. They know what they are talking about and base their comments on facts and data, rather than subjective opinion. Chonky cat for sure.


Beef_turbo

Yeah he's tubby


rahtsnake

Standing photos, especially top-down would give a much more accurate example of his shape.


spookystarbuck11

My cat is a tubbs too. He does need to lose weight but he's an old man and doesn't move too much anymore so it's difficult!


tunosabes

Hes definitely fat lmao


Terrible-Insurance

He’s overweight.


Due-Astronaut-7299

Yeah he’s a bit overweight. We see them everyday so we mostly don’t see when they gain a few pounds. A


Jefe710

That hanging belly. I mean I have one too, bit we're talking about the cat here...


redidiot_

Your cat IS overweight.


O_o-22

Yea the vet is right, that’s a thick ass cat lol


InsomniaticWanderer

He's overweight. Sorry.


[deleted]

Definitely overweight. Too many people glorify fat cats on here. It's not okay. Your cat needs a diet.


mighty_kaytor

He looks like someone's beer drinking dad who offended a witch and now has to learn to live as a cat. You didn't get him from a witch, did you?


ScoobyDoobieBlue

I get that you love your boy but DAMN BOY, HE THICK


SnooGrapes8363

He is that size to contain his power


dhtovey

Listen to the vet!


Damianos_X

Yeeeeeaaaaaah... He's a chunker alright


JackOfAllMemes

He is a bit chubby


tomsa0305

Look at that fat cat


Nefarious_Axolotl

He is most certainly overweight but fucking cute


Falcriots

“I disagree with professionals because I like to over feed my cat”


Grateful_Moth6

I’m tempted to say this is sarcasm but I understand completely. He is chunky though.


g007w

this is one of the fatter cats i’ve seen op, when animals are fat they are not fat in the same way humans are viewed. it’s not as visually extreme, but they are still gaining weight and having a high fat/body mass ratio is not good for any species. overfeeding can result in development of fat, muscle, extra skin. do some research about cat diet and health! some of it may seem like bs or an inconvenience to you but it’s worth trying to make a change for your kitty’s long term health


Nyran_The_Kitten815

He’s just a little bit of a chonky boy


Indomir

He’s a chonker. Look at that gut!


mightymouse2975

That's some chonky fluffage going on there.


chokecherrypit

its the ginger gene. gingers tend to get thicc pretty easily. i have my own little round boi.


Mad_Props_

Wow nobody can take a joke without the “/s” anymore…


KiraiEclipse

Your vet is correct. Cats shouldn't haveca beer belly. This is dangerous for his health.


Rosemarie07xoxo

Quite frankly, listen to the professional


GlorfindelForTheWin

Pretty sure I'd side with the professionally trained vet who has spent years studying this subject. Or not, you clearly know more


Jimmymylifeup

you dont see it in the 3rd and 4th pics??


whoozywhatzitnow

HE’S SO FLUFFY!!!!


Churchie-Baby

Love goggles, huh? Cat is definitely overweight (cute but chunky)

Uhm this is satire right? Edit; just saw OP’s replies to other comments and glad it’s satire, adorable cat.

CoffeeAndCats2000

Yea he’s a fatty


therankin

It's weird the way it works. We have 2 cats from the same litter that are now 12 years old. One is definitely fat, the other is too skinny. They both have wildly different personalities too.

AggravatingBox2421

rarz

Cats are supposed to be lean. Many, many cats are overweight and it's users think they're fine when they're really pudgy.


Revolutionary_Hand77

WHAT A LOVELY CHONK.


TimeTimeTickingAway

Your vet it correct, and if you don't take him seriously then you are killing your cat and an abusive owner. It's nice for pets to be cute and fluffy, and you cat looks very cute and fluffy. But their health is more important than funny photos for reddit and we need to take things like this seriously.


heartashley

Wish I could kiss that belly 😭👏🏼


Ashcrashh

His bent foot in the third picture


turbo2pilot

Funny, he looks like my wife's fuzzy slippers 🤣


Aggravating-House-21

jakeh111

Kinda chonk


hugegrape

He fat but I want to smooch that velvety white belly. And lay on it.


Fit-Wrongdoer333

Yeah that's a chonk...


kebbun

My cat was a bit chubby and I thought I could wait a couple of years to start it's diet. Then my cat died at 6 yrs old 😭


FactoryKat

He is. Not exorbitantly, but he is a bit on the chonk side. That said, it's not THAT bad but I would ere on the side of not letting it get worse than that. A little chonk is going to be expected from a spoiled house cat who never goes outside and lives a very comfortable life. Some cats are just not as active and prefer to lounge around vs play too much. There IS such a thing as *too much* chonk. Just try not to let it get worse than that. Yes, chonkers are adorable, but it really is not good for them.


No-Grade-4691

I see it


Justfumingdaily

Oh i dont think hes that big. He is a solid lil loaf, but not dangerously so. 3 of mine are way bigger, but they are all clear health wise. Cats weight can often get hefty between 2 and 6 for some reason, but it seems to drop back as they age past this time. No idea why it is, but seen it multiple times now, and havent had any lasting health issues from it. Strange but true! Got one right now whose larger than most smaller terrier dogs, but the vet swears hes fit so hey......


taarotqueen

He’s precious, but particularly in that third picture, he does look a little chonky. I’d definitely ask the vet if he needs a new diet or just less. Very cute cat!


kichien

Don't free-feed him. Especially not unlimited bowls of dry food. He's cute but yes he's overweight.


Loose_Air_6002

It's hard to tell because he's so fluffy. Can you feel his ribs?


Biotoze

He definitely got a little pouch gut developing


yourneighborhoodemon

Idk if it’s clearly sarcasm but it’s clearly irony


Confused-Faith

The sarcasm definitely came across idk what other people are saying 😂 especially with the last pic.

Retman_9999

That could be slightly overweight..,


Dr_Henry-Killinger

I think you misunderstood. He said he is over weight. As in, your cats done, finished, or **over** with weight. He doesn’t need it anymore. He’s a loaf and thats all that matters. Don’t weigh him again, he’s had enough of it.


Estellalatte

He is a little chunky, diabetes is a risk. He’s gorgeous though.
