I think I saw show about animal control. They caught this really chunky cat, who they found out had an owner. After returning the cat home, they voiced their concerns about the kitty’s health. Apparently the owner had put the cat on a diet- so the cat ran away to beg for scraps in the neighborhood 😅

[@kaylasmith2724]

[@NoukSilver]

There was a British show where they found a pregnant cat roaming the streets and begging for food. They tried to find out what happened and if she had an owner. Turned out the cat was not pregnant, but just fat and mad about being put on a diet. Was it the same show?

[@Lestaticate]

[@texasgirl6000]

Poor excuse. All they had to do is not let the cat outside.

[@gocchisama]

I had a kitty that was a mega chonk. It started due to his previous owners over feeding and neglecting him. He developed an unhealthy obsession with food. With proper diet and some exercise, we got him down to around 17 lbs. But then he started to develop issues. He got food allergies and developed a thyroid issue. He didn't exercise much anymore because a previous roommate locked him out of the house and while he was out he broke his shoulder. We spent so much money on that cat. He had two specialists he saw and was on a few different meds. But still had folks on Twitter shame me for "clearly overfeeding him" whenever I would post a pic. So no, the weight on this chunky girl isn't healthy, but we have no idea what her story is. It's much better for people to be kind than to jump straight to judgment and condemnation.

Thank you for such kind words. My friend too adopted an overweight kitty from a bad situation. The house dogs terrorized the poor kitty making him huddle in a corner all day, no activity. For few years now they have been trying to dechonk him. Unfortunately once the damage is done, its hard to recover from it. He has progressively gotten worse making it difficult to dechonk him. First asthma and then arthritis. Them having to move across country due to job loss made things worse. Life is difficult. But the owner here clearly is cognizant of kitty care and is taking care by getting her groomed to keep her clean.

[@suzil7687]

I have a similar story. Sometimes weight management on a cat can be extremely difficult for various reasons.

Most people with that calorie level and my level of exercise which is moderate would have lost weight. Guess how much I lost.

@@rachaelgosdin9240 I have thyroid issues, and the person above is right. You're supposed to be followed by a MD, and take thyroid hormones until you stabilise at some place that's "normal", then it's pretty much a non-issue, even tho it can take months to stabilise. I'm a fat fuc*, but it's not just a thyroid issue, it's mostly because i spend my life in front of a screen, and hate exercise. You can debate the idea that low thyroid is to push those behaviours due to tiredness and such (and you sure have no energy and work on low maintenance when you're low on it, that's how i finally got diagnosed, tbf) but still, it's not something that can't be dealt with with a treatment, and then it's a matter of losing body weight over time, as everyone does.

Yep... thank you for stating stuff about kindness. ❤When we adopted our cat, she was 18 lbs. She was 4 years old. She's lost 2.5 lbs. since we've had her (since Nov. 2018). It takes a long time to get a cat to lose weight. Especially if they're older. Our vet said that no matter how much weight she looses, she'll still have the "foopah" and that she's overall a large, muscular cat and should be about 14-15 lbs. for her size and age. She's on a special diet for bladder and kidney health, because she'd had crystals in her urine, which is also a diet food. On some of my videos, I've had unkind things said about her and that suggests to me that they didn't read anything in the description about her... or even read the title.

My cat Tummy was 14 pounds when we adopted her she’s 9.2 now. We adopted her in 2022 or 21 I can’t remember. She definitely still has extra stomach skin and extra back skin. If you want any suggestions, don’t free feed your kitty and definitely no kibble. If your cat like food or treats get them to go up and down the stair case or across the house a few times for movement. And make sure you have a meal plan for wet food and specific times of day under the caloric needs the vet suggests.

I have two cats who are littermates and have had them since they were 6 weeks old. Roughly 14 and 18 pounds. They’re not overweight or anything, they’re just naturally large cats. 15lbs can be perfectly healthy if the cat is big to begin with.

When I adopted my cat in 2022 he was 16lbs, he had a urinary blockage that June and spent 4 days in the hospital(he’s okay now) but they had a hard time scanning him. He’s now down to 12.5lbs! The special diet helps- kibble is more calorie dense.

You’re right. We don’t know the situation. I do get bored with the fat “jokes” and self evident comments on how being overweight is bad for health yada yada yada. May Marley live a long life.

Had a cat that was overweight her whole life (minus when she was quite young) lived to be 21. never had health issues until the very end@@BlessedBeTheFroot

Though your message about not judging is absolutely correct (around 6:50), it's very very rare for a cat to have hypothyroidism (the type of thyroid issue that makes you gain weight).

Thank you, owners, for getting your cat the care she needs, including this groom. I'm certain you want Marley to be healthy, and you'll work with your vet care provider on her weight and any other issues she has. 💛

[@apexyl5135]

I do hope they do, I’ve seen so many people not only shrug off their pet’s weight issues, but also get defensive when people take note of said issues.

[@naysebtc]

Thank you? The owners are literally killing their cat through cruelty and negligence… poor cat

[@arospec2712]

@@naysebtcyou dont know that, she could be recently adopted from an old family that neglected her. The family clearly cares to some extent, realizing she can’t groom herself so they took her somewhere to get it done; they aren’t oblivious. Also she literally said not to judge the family and you don’t know the story did you even watch the video.

[@MunchinOnDew]

You're thanking the owners for their consideration for the cat's care? Then why did they let the cat get to 3x its healthy body weight?

Maybe good to keep a lick mat or 2 on hand for the food motivated pets to allow you to move the wet food/treats around while grooming without wasting any.

[@Tvianne]

I think she has some, if I'm not mistaken I saw a video where she used it with peanut butter… maybe for one of her own dogs. But it's been a while.

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

That's a good idea. I have one with suction cups. Something like that could even be put in the wall of the bathtub.

She reminds me of my late cat, Penelope. Overweight and generally scared but tolerant of things. Even if she hated the process I bet she felt so great after!! You handled her with such care. If this was a video of my Penelope I would be happy with everything.

[@tweex1]

"Do you like treats?" A rhetorical question

[@lorettacarroll6015]

My Liam used to weigh 22 lbs. His vet was completely surprised because of how tall and long he was he didn't look overweight (he is a short haired tabby). His entire litter was like that. Somewhere in the past, a larger breed cat was introduced (they were part of a feral colony).

[@jessicabyland2879]

YES! THIS! 😸💖 My last cat ( a rescued DSL male white with red tabby splotches) was built this way as well. He was the Oriental-body style but a small Maine Coon weight. He was so confident and a wonderful companion. Rest in Peace, Montessori. You were the best kitty.

[@Kimmaline]

I had a 27½lb cat when I was younger. He had been declawed on his front paws by his previous owner, but still managed to catch rodents by waiting in a tree and dropping on them when they ran underneath. He also wasn't at all fat. Just a beast. I had a dog at the time which was significantly smaller.

[@kileyhanson1203]

That's 100% my friends cat, a rescue who has always been heavier, taller, and longer than the range for his age, a grey domestic short hair though. Who is also now the biggest cuddle bug and people person kind of cat I have ever met

[@catferreira5598]

[@monicapdx]

Alas, he wasn't mine, but I met a barn cat once who was a complete unit; all muscle. His back reached my knee. We were only there to buy some cows. I wish we could have bought him! He was a love, and as soon as he stropped my leg, I plumped down and we began a mutual love session. Biggest domestic cat I've ever seen in person. I think he could have rivaled some of the bigger Maine Coons. He was a short-hair, too, so it wasn't fluff.
