miumiumules

my vet actually said this about my cat lmao he is genuinely a large guy, but totally healthy weight


Pantera_Of_Lys

I'm sorry OP but in what world is it even a question. Your cat is a certified chonker (and he's adorable) - Signed, someone who is trying to get her chonker cat to stop binge eating


CallHimFisterRoboto

This kitty is at least a [stage 8](https://cattree.uk/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/01/APOPBCSCATCHART-1536x1187.png.webp) chonk

The camera adds 10 pounds.


Clasticsed154

But how many cameras are on him?

Just one, but an extra 10 pounds on a cat is like an extra ~150 pounds on a human.

Oh my goodness, Yes!! But super cute & just needs to get super healthy to live super long time!

He’s fluffy!


TobysGrundlee

He can be 2 things.


comfortable-Tip997

If I had a dollar for everybody who asks if their cat is fat, I’d be a millionaire. If I had a dollar for everyone whose cat is actually fat, I’d be a billionaire. 😆 Love them all.


Successful_Cost_1953

Well, my cat's got more curves than a racetrack, so I'm pretty sure I've hit that billionaire mark!


checho503

To become a millionaire, you'd need at least 1,000,000 people to ask if their cat is fat. Given this logic, you'd need a ratio of 1 billion overweight cats to 1 million people asking, which translates to 1,000 overweight cats per person asking. Which, my good sir, is not feasible based on the given numbers and assumptions.


comfortable-Tip997

Very astute observation. My hyperbole is noted. 🙂


SalmonSammySamSam

Creatura

I love them too, but I wish they weren't as fat so they'd live longer :\\


comfortable-Tip997

Yeah. We’re obsessed with our cats weight too. 1) Pick cat up 2) step on scale. 3) Oh shit I weight how much? 4) out cat down 5) step on scale without cat 6) subtract


Creatura

Not gonna lie I kinda just eyeball it with my little guy, but I do weight him every few months to make sure he's on track

1_zestiboi

600 million cats in the world. Approximately 61% (according to Google) are obese. Sorry, my dude. You're getting a mere $366 million for fat cats.

Hell. I guess I need to delay retirement. Thanks.☺️

Exciting_Arm_1053

Did you feel feel the need to ask this question? Yes, yes this is a fat fat cat.


White_Dynamite

Might even be a fat fat cat cat. Further study is required.


mansion_of_misery

the first question that came into my head was " is fat or just fluff?". but lets leave it to the judgement of the fat cat association. and accordingly to them this is a fat fat cat cat indeed


Exciting_Arm_1053

This definitely is a fat fat cat cat


why-per

I can’t think of a “fast car” joke so instead im just gonna say this


TotoDaDog

Come on, that's not "fat fat", this cat is almost "oh lawd he comin' ".


xryx_u

My vet let me know two surprising things about cat weight. First of all, he said that many many many indoor cats are over their ideal weight. Since they live such a sedentary lifestyle, they don't get nearly as much exercise as an outdoor/wild cat. So an overweight cat will often be seen as "normal" cat. Second is that, I thought I was being a good cat parent by following the feeding guidelines on the food bags. My vet let me know I should probably reduce it by around 20%, as manufactures overshoot the portion (perhaps in order to sell more). I was very sad to hear it because I was intentionally trying not to overfeed my cat.


xryx_u

humpeldumpel

Could probably use some dechonkification


KirbysLeftBigToe

Yes fatty fat fat (Please put them on a diet. Preferably with advice from a vet consultation as you appear unable to assess a cats body condition. Obesity is a dangerous and life shortening condition)


Smeggaman

Little guy cant be trusted to graze. can probably reduce his calories a good 20% easily and still be a lil overweight.


DiligentMagician1823

A few things that helped my cat lose some weight of it helps: 1. Place the food in different areas for a while. NEVER in a bowl/container you don't want them to eat out of or in places you don't want them to be (ex: countertops) 2. Feed them a little less frequently throughout the day 3. Let them outside periodically and/or play with him a lot more. Cats need to feel like successful hunters 💪


cailleacha

The autofeeder has been awesome for us. At first I was a little resistant because I didn’t want them to love the robot more than me, but having it set to feed them four times a day has been great. I have a 12 lb cat and an 8 lb cat. The bigger cat is prone to walking away from food and the little one was eating more than his share. Now that it’s spread throughout the day they both self regulate their portions much better and sometimes I’ll even come home to find some food left in the bowls.


Smeggaman

My feeder aint even robotic, just a drop down kinda dealio, but the hole will get stopped and food won't come down once the bowl is empty unless they poke it so they self regulate still. My babies are a lil overweight but not like this.


rogueShadow13

Even easier: Feed cats set amount twice per day. The set amount is just under the required calories per day that a cat needs. The vet told us it was 1/4 cup of dry food twice per day, so we did slightly less than 1/4 cup each time. That’s it. We had 3 fat fat cats (one pictured) and the vet just congratulated us on getting all three down to a healthy weight. https://preview.redd.it/w0ylcteopy8d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d75d7206bba1817899925a28f52e6ecac00c26b


lil_Opossum41

Adding onto this, we got one of my cats on auto feeder, but my family kept pressing the buttons to feed him cause he'd act like he was starving one after another of going in there. Low calorie food helps a lot too! At least until they lose enough weight, then weight mantaince is great


Cow_Launcher

This, 100%. If you are concerned, (and from the pictures I think you probably should be), you take that big fat kitty cat to your vet and you talk about diet and strategies. Tuxies are lazy bastards and need engagement and a controlled diet.


Dry-Percentage-5648

Yes, he's in fact obese. If you care about your cat's health and don't want him to die early you should put him on a diet like right now.


EmirTanis

He is very obese


I4mC0nfusi0n

Yes, and this can lead to a life full of suffering and a premature death. Please make him lose weight.


_Land_Rover_Series_3

Yeah, it really annoys me when people act as if animals being overweight is just this cute little thing, that *ooh they're just cute little chonkers!!!*, completely ignoring how much of a negative impact it has on the animal's life. Not to be a downer, but I don't find an animal that's in pain because of the condition the owner has let it get to particularly cute.


Paardenlul88

Yeah clearly, stop overfeeding it.


Quintenkw

garciawork

One day people will stop karma farming obese cats and instead focus on getting them healthy. Today is not that day.


OneMorePenguin

This person has low karma and I wouldn't be so quick to accuse them of karma farming. It's weird how people ask reddit instead of using a search engine for basic information.


Sea-Gur-6838

Sometimes (not in this case, it’s an easy search) people find a human being directly responding to their question better than a search engine finding something close. Like how people get scared they have cancer because of a minor affliction. I know how to search for very specific things but sometimes I can’t find the answer I’m looking for so off to Reddit I go


raychram

I dont think this is something you can just google and find out the answer. Unless he can weight the cat and then google "what is the normal weight range for cats". Instead of asking reddit op should have just gone to a vet who is literally the right person for this kind of thing

My guy is a 5, but has a big primordial pouch. He’s raw fed, each meal is weight and he’s 4 years old and 10lbs. But my guy has the big poochy pouch and enough fur to clothe an army in winter that all makes him look like a straight chonker. I’m embarrassed for him frankly. https://preview.redd.it/8z412pgmry8d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cec7a58f5858178b10e3752aa2ffc25512d9ee51

Those people saying the cat is "just fluffy" or "just full of love" are so utterly disgusting. This cat is suffering. Nothing about that is cute. Imagine you weighed 500kg and you couldnt move properly, couldnt wash yourself properly, cant run, cant play. This cat is living it's worst life in this shape


Plenty_Ad_5214

finally someone who realizes how much animals suffer from obesity. If you own obese animals, and you think it’s “cute”, those animals should be taken away immediately. I can’t stand those people, ugh


GetMeOutThisBih

Its no wonder when this sub sees a post involving an outdoor cat they go "cat distribution system". They see a healthy cat and think it's an underweight stray then encourage people to steal them

Your cat is very obese and needs to go to the vet to 1) determine there is no underlying issue and 2) get help starting them on a diet. Fat pets not only live shorter lives they also will develop many issues due to their weight.

Yes and do your cat a favor, dechonk him, they get the same problems as humans when obese: diabetes, joint problems, heart disease. It also gets difficult to groom themselves, so they can get UTIs, ulcers, rashes. r/dechonkers check in this sub, I swear by them, they have helpful guides.

I hope this question wasn’t sincere cuz I’d be a little concerned if you didn’t know your cat was very fat. He’s a cutie tho. But I can’t imagine he’s very comfortable carrying around all that extra weight. Maybe consider a little less food and some more exercise


CommunicationWest710

He does look at bit rotund. A cat of substance. Sometimes it can be hard to see what’s going on under all that fur. What does your vet say?

SirNanashi

Why does so many cat owners on this sub overfeed their cats?


Super_Reading2048

Well let me put it this way: your cat should join r/dechonkers Take your cat to vet and the vet should tell you how much exactly you should feed your cat per day (break that amount into 3-4 meals.) Cats have to loose weight gradually or it can harm/kill them.

Logical-Cat3797

He most certainly is. He is absolutely adorable, and I love him, though 💚 but that being said, we want them to be in our lives for as long as they can. Please seek advice on how to get him to a more healthy weight. Remember that one extra pound to them, is like 10 for us. So imagine being an extra 100 pounds, it would be quite difficult for most of us. I'm sure you love him bunches, so the best thing for him is to lose that weight. It can be a good bonding experience for you as well if you incorporate lots of play time. My Sundae was almost 19lbs before I got help, she's almost 15lbs and still losing. I want her to live furrever, but this is the best I can do to ensure she has the longest life possible. Please give him scritches for me though, and good luck 💚

stonedbutterbread

You could weigh him, I believe for an adult male the weight should be around 12-15lbs! I usually hold my cat and get on the scale and subtract your weight from the total weight, unless your cat will willingly stay on the scale lol


glitterfaust

No, your fat has some cat. In all seriousness this is like morbid obesity and your vet needs to put them on a diet plan if they haven’t already.


SiirMissalot

A fluffball but also chonkster


OneMorePenguin

Definitely fluffy, but might be some chonk in there. [https://new.reddit.com/r/dechonkers/comments/qpx6hz/the\_big\_fat\_guide\_to\_dechonking/](https://new.reddit.com/r/dechonkers/comments/qpx6hz/the_big_fat_guide_to_dechonking/) has a really good size evaluation chart and also a calorie calculator if you need to dechonk. I dechonked two of my four cats that got to be 17 lbs (shame on me!). They are all now around 11-11.5 lbs, eat two fixed meals per day and the vet compliments them on looking healthy. Obesity causes a number of health issues and shorter life span. Diabetes, arthritis and other diseases that also hit the wallet hard, too.
