With love and coming from a fat cat owner as well, please put that wonderful chunkamuffin on a diet so you have the best chance of keeping him around for a long time

This is the face my fat cat gives me daily as I’m prepping his diet food instead of grabbing the treat jar

Mycat has been on the vet recommended diet for 3 years now and he's still fat AF, I'm starting to think he's just built that way.

u/Awesome_Shoulder8241 1h ago

that didnt look like a fat cat? For a male cat the head looks normal. I just can't see the body from this pic.

u/magicallymad 1h ago edited 1h ago

What a cutie! Have you followed up with the vet since starting the diet to discuss that it hasn’t shown improvement and made any adjustments? Sometimes it takes some trial and error to find the right regimen but you should be seeing progress

u/pokemon32666 1h ago

I have, the vet said he's lost 1 total pound in the 3 years since, but that since he's already a senior cat and doesn't have any joint or respiratory issues that he should be fine.

u/dewyocelot 1h ago

Yeah what a downer for wanting to make sure the cat has an extra couple years of life.

u/Com_lag_ 1h ago

The 🍊 in this video is not obese. Grandstand all the fuck you want, Debbie. Prove my point.

u/dewyocelot 55m ago

Lmao what? It is 100% obese. It's not grandstanding to point out that they're literally lowering the life expectancy of their cat by letting them be that big. You just don't give a shit because the only value the cat has to you it's ability to make you breathe slightly harder through your nose for a moment. Literally every chart when you google this shit, the obese cat looks like the one in the vid.

-6

u/Com_lag_ 44m ago

It’s absolutely grandstanding. And the whole mouth breathing thing.. Fuck off with that. Being a “mouth breather” has nothing to do with thinking someone is being a fucking Debbie Downer by telling someone how to treat their cat that is clearly not being abused or in anyway in a grotesque state of being.

u/magicallymad 28m ago

I think you misunderstood this comment if you think they said anything about being a “mouth breather” lol

1

u/dewyocelot 11m ago

Lmao. First, I love that you think you can just say "it's not obese" and that makes it fact, as opposed to the mountains of evidence from veterinarians saying what an obese cat is, and this cat looking exactly like the examples they use.

Second, I literally never said anything about mouth breathing, but I'd hardly expect decent literacy from someone who thinks opinion is fact. "Breathing slightly harder through your nose" is a very common...joke is too strong of a word, on the internet. It is used for when someone is humorous, and doesn't even get a chuckle out of you, but you just huff in amusement. I was saying that you care more about the tiniest fleeting moment of amusement than a cat's health.

u/magicallymad 51m ago

Ironically, I never even claimed obesity in my original comment, you’re the one who brought that up. But you must be referring to the other orange in the window at the end, because the main orange on the floor is absolUTELY obese. If you think pointing that out for the benefit of the cat is grandstanding, that’s your prerogative

-3

u/Com_lag_ 20m ago

There is no irony here. What the fuck are you taking about?

u/magicallymad 17m ago

I could ask you the same lmao

u/Com_lag_ 10m ago

No.. you can’t. You don’t understand how irony works.

-5

u/Com_lag_ 35m ago

No. I’m not referring to the cat in the window. I’m referring to the one that is literally flat on its back at the start of the video.
Sure, it’s a chonker, and I’m sure that the OP is also aware of that.

2

u/magicallymad 29m ago

Chonker, obese, whatever phrasing you prefer. The point is that excess weight/fat on a body has adverse health effects. That goes for cats, dogs, humans, literally anyone. Yes, OP is clearly aware the cat is fat, they state that in the video. That doesn’t mean they are aware of the health risks associated with it.

man seeing cats this fat is just upsetting tbh, i wish i had the ignorance of those able to think it’s cute but all i see is joint pain, difficulty breathing, and a short life.

Sweet baby needs done on a safe diet. Not a starving diet a safe one the veterinarian can help put him on

I always liked going up to my Dad’s cat, Morris, and his tail will always be straight up and so I go “Nice to meet you, sir!” and shake his tail gently lmao

Why so rough? It isn't a dog. Poor thing also needs to be put on a diet

u/magicallymad 2h ago edited 2h ago

One of my cats likes to be handled rougher than both of my large dogs combined. If I tried that shit on my other cat who likes very gentle handling I’d be short a finger or two by now. Every cat is different and if they don’t like it, they WILL let you know. This cat clearly doesn’t mind the rough handling

u/pictureofacat 2h ago

He slapped the cat's belly and it rolled over to protect it.

u/Ficsonium 1h ago

Man knows nothing about cats and just assumes. You know what they say about people who assume?

-3

u/pictureofacat 32m ago

Speaking of knowing nothing, you're making big assumptions here. I love cats, and you don't hit them on a sensitive area like that - and why would you tug on their legs?

This person over feeds the cat as well, which is basically abuse. This is not something to coo over.

1

u/Ficsonium 22m ago

I’m not, I have plenty of cats. My mom runs a rescue. You know nothing. And I beat my cat plenty, if you do it right they experience no pain. You’re desperately clinging onto anything to try to make a point, making some pretty massive assumptions, proving you are who they talk about when people talk about those who make assumptions.

u/magicallymad 2h ago

Nah, if the cat had a problem they wouldn’t be rolling over, they’d become quite pointy lol

Animal abuse

u/magicallymad 2h ago

What are you saying is abuse?

10

u/tacoflavoredkeesos 2h ago

The health condition is abhorrent

6

u/magicallymad 1h ago

So yeah, while it is certainly factual that letting a pet be obese can be considered abuse/neglect, there’s a better way to approach someone about it. Commenting “animal abuse” without actually clarifying what you are referring to or sharing information on why you are claiming abuse or how to make positive change or just any sort of kindness or openness is most certainly not the way you’re gonna get through to someone, which I hope would be your goal in calling it out. If you’re just morally jerking yourself off, then enjoy the downvotes and have a good one. But if you actually want to see change, try better next time or move along and leave it to the people who are willing to approach with kindness and spreading information. Take care.

u/Whiskinho 1h ago

approach a moron taking videos of their pet that is obese, whilst joking and mucking how obese their pet is, and then posting the video online on a platform that is supposed to be funny videos?!

One way to approach this, and it is with this cunt not having the right to have a pet.

2

u/magicallymad 1h ago

So much hostility and aggression in this comment, sheesh. This is an example of what I was referring to of how not to approach this. I’m sorry that this was clearly very upsetting for you, I hope your day gets better.
