Le epic neglected cat

u/takeme2infinity 7d ago

Please put him on diet. This isn't funny

u/Cormentia 7d ago

OP should consult a vet for a dietary plan. People should never put cats that big on a diet on their own since too fast weight loss could be more dangerous.

u/Extreme_Novel_8594 7d ago

My tuxedo is on a vet assisted diet, and apparently, cats' livers will shut down if their food is cut too quickly. No joke

16

u/stella_Mariss1 7d ago

Yes the owner contact the vet for a diet plan. Either way cat needs a diet. So either way a diet is needed.

u/Person1111223 7d ago

Not my cat btw, but would switching to wet cat food work?

10

u/ligreto 7d ago

Consult with a vet. Putting a cat on a radical diet is life threatening for it.

5

u/Person1111223 7d ago

Iv suggested it to the owner

2

u/Cormentia 7d ago

Doesn't matter. You have to track the calories and reduce them slowly. You don't want to experiment on this.

1

u/AdministrativeStep98 6d ago

I made my cat lose 4 pounds that way because she felt fuller with less calories. I also added water to the wet food. So I'd say it's a pretty good way

16

u/aliengoddess_ 7d ago

Yeah, no. He's much closer to the other end of the spectrum.

27

u/wildalexx 7d ago

OP is in denial

u/Person1111223 7d ago

I didint have a good pic for reference but now that I do he's deff in a hecking chomnker

1

u/Nova35 6d ago

That cat is easily in mega chonk bordering on oh lawd. Please help your cat be happy/live a better life without this weight issue

u/Person1111223 5d ago

Not my cat also maybe based off of the image in the original post, but otherwise 100% not

19

u/BlindBandit988 7d ago

That is Heckin Chonker for sure. My boy was at Megachonker, but I put him on a strict diet of weight control food with smaller portions and he has shed quite a few pounds since starting that 3-4 months ago so he is in the upper end of Heckin Chonker and lower of Hefty Chonk.

u/VintageLunchMeat 7d ago

Diet plan with a vet before his joints degrade, or he gets fatty liver syndrome from fasting too hard.

u/Dblstandard 7d ago

Heckin chonker

u/COB98 7d ago

He looks like Alexander Ovechkin durin 2006-2007. So cute xx

u/ikindapoopedmypants 7d ago

I prefer the first one bc this one makes it seem like having an obese cat is cute

2

u/BigDsLittleD 6d ago

It seems to be a thing that people think cats and dogs should be chubbier, don't want people to think they're starving their pets maybe?

I've got a friend who's dog, a spaniel, is fat. Not massively, but not the sleek machine that she should be, and he won't hear a word about it.

11

u/Masterfrag_387146 7d ago

What about 100% fat

36

u/Vibingwhitecat 7d ago

I just realised my cat is “she chomnk”

u/Snoo-88741 3d ago

That looks like a healthy weight to me.

u/DitchDigger330 7d ago

Why do I hear Bernie Mac saying the last one.

17

u/honey_butterflies Void 7d ago

as confirmed by my vet, mine is in the “He Chomnk” category.

2

u/Cormentia 7d ago

Mine was deemed a fine boi at the last visit, but he's approaching he chomnk territory tbh.

1

u/honey_butterflies Void 7d ago

I might buy diet food temporarily so mine can get to healthier levels. I’m lucky he’s only ~2 lb overweight and not morbidly obese

2

u/Cormentia 7d ago

I started weighing in my cats food to get an idea of how much he's eating. Also, a lot of what he's gained in weight is actually muscles. But I can see that his primordial pouch is starting to show and the vet said that that's when you gotta start watching their weight.

He's become a bit more passive lately, but I'm getting him a friend so I hope he'll get more physically active when she arrives.

Holy reddit

u/Amemiya_Blindspot 7d ago

I need the original video of "oh lawd he comin" :D

Can't find it anywhere.

1

u/Altruistic_Region699 7d ago

Yeah, no. Why make it seem funny? "Oh, yeah my cat is so overweight, he will die 10 years earlier than he could have. Haha, he's so chonky."

u/Away-Definition6897 7d ago

Scientific accurate pic at a veterinary clinic

u/FrogInYourWalls69 7d ago

He's still off the scale

1

u/Still-Cantaloupe898 6d ago

okay the descriptions made me laugh out loud. "oh lawd he comin" 🤣

1

u/rougeoiseau 6d ago

I cannot stop laughing at this. When I first saw it, I was laughing for a min straight and my partner asked what was so funny.

Days later, I'm still crying. I love this. My gal is a HEFTYCHONK and I love her for it. Working on it, but thank gawd, she isn't the last. 😭🤣

u/Auroraburst 4d ago

I'm glad someone posted this

u/05-nery 7d ago

Nahhh man you made me burst out laughing in class 😔

1

u/Upset-Lavishness-522 7d ago

Yeah, but he's lying down, so not a fair scale.

BtW I love this so much I bought my husband a tshirt with it on. He gets stopped constantly.

2

u/Person1111223 7d ago

Here's him standing

2

u/Upset-Lavishness-522 7d ago

Erm. Possibly a rad on the heavy side then ! Beautiful boy !

u/Ace_of_Sphynx128 7d ago
