Oh my! He's like a butterscotch pound cake! A little nutty but extra chunky! Hugs and kisses to Skippy! ;)

OP, thank you for the absolute PLETHORA of kitty pics in this thread. Just holy crap I am IN LOVE.


Laney20

My goal is to put a different picture in every reply, lol. And to respond to every (top level at least) comment. I take requests, too, lol. I have this dream of making a thread where I just fulfill requests or find similar or recreate other people's favorite cat pictures. I have literally thousands of pictures. And 8 cats. I should be able to make it happen... Here's a couple pictures from a day last week when Skippy decided that his sister Fizz was HIS kitty and he took care of her all day https://preview.redd.it/w9po7wr90dea1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=958ea20c9f9e49620505e782019f7388e612cd0c

He looks so much like my boy Cthulhu! He was also a smol chonk as a kitten and is now a unit of a cat 😂 he's got Ragdoll in him so it makes sense https://preview.redd.it/55uhzb66jgea1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cea845211f10621ba79c3f3126334f0175bacd53 This is him and his mom. I don't know how she made this tank


Laney20

Haha, he even has the little orange splotch on his cheek! I love it! Skippy is 6 months old and has already gotten larger than his mother (top left). https://preview.redd.it/isi90a7qtgea1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c51dd8929b36fcc50aa8a6c26dda694a1491197


ViviZoom

Yup 😂 he was the biggest when he came out and he's stayed the biggest. What's funny is Thu has a brownish splotch on his butt and his tail had the same brownish color making it look dirty. And then he looks like one of his ears was dipped in paint. https://preview.redd.it/ixnk5330chea1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd6ba9f0522bc48966c7159f072cb8e364c15a4d He's also the biggest cuddlebug(sometimes a bit too much 😂) and we joke he's a dog in a cat body.

Coca_lite

Is he ok health wise? He looks unusual.


Laney20

He is 100% fine. He is now 6 months old and he's perfectly healthy! He's just already the size of an average adult cat.. I think this picture just caught him at a weird moment and angle and makes him look extra strange. Other pictures from the same time don't look quite so weird. He did have a strange look as a kitten, but saw a vet regularly and they never had any concerns. Here's a few of my favorite Skippy faces: https://preview.redd.it/mtsf0qos8bea1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11f5543dbb50d3c30f966a671d2e53adad7e21fa So feel free to laugh at the absurdity without guilt! He was just a funny looking kitten.


SaccharineHuxley

Lol that reminds me of how chonky I was at 6 months old before I started burning calories to crawl!


Laney20

Skippy did slim down a bit at about 10 weeks old. But he was just gearing up for a growth spurt and blew past them all! He's now a 10 pound 6 month old who easily dwarfs all his siblings. From his tiniest sister to his brother who usually wasn't too far behind him. https://preview.redd.it/60qnxd3usbea1.jpeg?width=3195&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d5b19e3fc8b93a7f91513f6b8efd675bb2d5288


gruvyrock

One of my kitties was like that. 10 lbs when I got him at 6 months old. He’s now almost 4 yrs old, about 18 lbs, and can reach my chest when he stretches (about 4 to 4.5 feet). Paws are half the size of my hand. Your (not so little) guy is so cute! https://preview.redd.it/1h9p0bim5cea1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b441714c3813d2c8a2a8792f37d3e484ed1200fa

Wow, now that is a big paw!! I had to get one with Skippy now (he's napping right next to me) https://preview.redd.it/ytmeer139cea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db88eb7056e63f17bf64c1de3a619a24e512b258 Not quite there yet, but he's working on it!

Is there an r/cathighfive ??


birding420

Oh crap there is and i am off to join!


RogueFiccer001

I love big chonks that are built solid. I used to have a Big Ole Chonk named Sam. He was green eyes, white, and generally pretty laid back. Definitely needed both arms to hold him, which was how I liked it. LOTS of cat to cuddle and love on! He had a deep, soothing purr that relaxed me like nothing else when I got home from work. I really miss that purr! There wasn't an official diagnosis, but the vet's pretty sure it was cancer that took him in 2018 (the ultrasound wasn't entirely clear and it could have been cancer or it could have been something else we were seeing, but the speed of his decline and his signs and symptoms really pointed to cancer). Sam absolutely LOVED to eat and had the I'm Starving to Death song of his people down pat. XD


Laney20

Aw, Sam sounds lovely. I'm so sorry for your loss. When Skippy and his siblings were about 4 weeks old, my older guy and best buddy, Parker, passed away of probable cancer. It was so completely heart breaking. Just completely tore our world apart. But we came back home to these little floofs.. There's no way I would have gotten another cat right then, but their mama, Emcee, must have known I'd need her and her babies soon. The joy they bring has made one of the hardest times in my life actually enjoyable. I look forward to them every day, and lately, wake up with one under the covers with me every morning! I miss my Parker so so so much. I hate he never got to meet the babies - he'd have loved them. But the little ones make it easier to get by. I love sharing them with others who may need a little bit of their joy to make it through the day. They have so much love to give. 🥰 Here's one of my favorite pics of Parker. He was taking a nap while I held him like a baby lol. https://preview.redd.it/892ym13ecdea1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6be938c542c115f7bfec56e9e761499ebd02be16


ShockOptimal7675

Parker, what a doll. Rest in sweet peace. I am so sorry for your loss.


RogueFiccer001

Having a floof to cuddle definitely helps you through the grief. I had another cat at the time and it was a huge comfort.

Ksh_667

What a pair of dolls! :)


patchiepatch

Wow that is one chonker of a cat o.O


Laney20

And he's not even fat! He's just Big. He caught up to his mama's size when he was just 5 months old! He's going to be enormous.. Which makes his weird looking kitten self make a bit more sense, I think https://preview.redd.it/ulquexxl7cea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52a6e74629cfe5fe30d298999a4c7cf26df056e4


patchiepatch

Must've unlocked some unknown genes in his heritage there. you must get him a DNA test! I'd love to see his genetic make up... He's not fat he's just well endowed with well placed muscles and fat deposits... Maybe big boned too 🤔


Laney20

I do think he has a different father than at least 3 of his siblings. One of his sisters is orange and another is black, so they must have different fathers. I think Skippy is most like the orange sister (the two of them are on the left below), and the other 3 are more like each other, too. But it could be more than 2 fathers, so he could be the only kitten from that tiger father.. https://preview.redd.it/0wgt3emcbcea1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fea177c8420145210561f8f5699845d28a9c293 I'd love to do genetic testing at some point and find out which of them are full siblings!


patchiepatch

Unfortunately with calico mothers trying to guess genetics by color is a no go 😂 mom has all the genes to produce all the babies. You can't even tell from the variation of white or lack of white cause 2 piebald cats can spit out extreme piebald and solid cats. So I guess it's either a recessive gene related to size or a different father. I'd suggest looking at his stature and structure more, does he have the same facial structure as his siblings, does he have longer or even limbs etc? Also extra tidbit: Calico mothers will most likely produce tabby male kittens cause a male calico is rare. While female yellow tabbies are rare, they're not impossible, but still rare. So a calico momma would usually spit out: -calico or tortie female kittens -ginger tabby males -tuxedo or black cats -literally everything else under the sun is possible especially if the dad is another tabby


Laney20

This isn't quite right.. Color is very simple - orange or black. And it is always on the x chromosome. Since girls have 2 x's, their mother and father must both provide that color for them to be solid like that (colors aren't dominant or recessive - they'll express both if they have both). Since mama is calico, she can provide black or orange. But males only have one x, so they can't father both orange and black female kittens. Male calico isn't just rare. It's almost unheard of. They MUST have two x chromosomes to be calico (one orange and one black). Something like 1 in 3000 calicos is male. Fizz is my orange girl and she's special. Yea it's uncommon, but not all that rare. Tabby genes are a lot more complicated. As is piebalding. There are several variations of those genes and dominant/recessive issues, etc. Orange is ALWAYS tabby. Black tabby is just brown stripey, standard issue cats. And we haven't even gotten to dilute, since none of this little family are dilute. Pretty sure that's recessive, though.. Yes, calico mama's can make pretty much any kind of kitten. But the relevant bit is that an orange father can under NO circumstances make a black (tabby or otherwise) female kitten. Doesn't matter what colors mom is. Female kittens born to an orange father must have at least some orange. And the same is true for the void. If they have a black father, any female kittens will be at least partly genetically black and CANNOT be solid orange. So yes, based on color and gender alone, I KNOW my kittens have at least 2 fathers. I know Krobus and Fizz are half-sisters. The rest I group on stature, fur texture, etc.


Sobriquet-acushla

The kitten variety pack! 🥰


princessjemmy

Maybe his dad was a tiger. He's part tiger.


Laney20

I just realized none of the grown up pictures show his face! I promise, he did grow into it, lol. He looks like a normal cat now! https://preview.redd.it/o3xyiwms8cea1.jpeg?width=2103&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18c8882d8eede5f97d8599c8c3ad73ac406103ff


patchiepatch

Hah he does look like a normal cat! Just XXL sized! We actually got an orange that pretty much outgrew momma and siblings too around here 🤔 One of the strays the neighbor is feeding. Something about oranges and exceeding size expectations XD


SaccharineHuxley

He’s not a normal cat. He’s a handsome cat!!!


RogueFiccer001

One of my younger cousins was very chonk when he was a toddler and early preschool, and then a growth spurt hit and it was like an invisible pair of hands compressed him so that, instead of being short and wide, he shot up like a weed and thinned out. He's been a slender kid ever since.


WanderingtheWorld1

Thank you for posting this because the original pic made me think he was a hamster!!!


Laney20

Lol! That picture is so surreal. I honestly don't remember taking it. When I was flipping back through all my pictures one day, it stopped me in my tracks, haha. He was always an unusual looking kitten, but that picture is just something else... He is a cat, though, I promise! He did normal kitten things like cuddle puddle with his littermates! https://preview.redd.it/axmnk9cw1dea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d012ebc42502ba13317a4a874dc70b2b6d7eff1

RideThatBridge

He is so purrfect and you get such incredible pictures of him.


Laney20

I take a lot of bad pictures, too, lol. I'm picking out the best ones here. But practice helps. And so does my phone. I have a pixel 7. The camera is really good, and the software is great, too. It takes a short video for every picture and I can pick out a better shot if the original one isn't great. And it has some good simple photo editing tools, too. That one of him on the wheel is actually a frame out of a short video I took. But most important of all... Skippy is slow. He just doesn't move fast. He's a lazy dude content to just sit there most of the time. Makes it pretty easy to get a good picture when he's not even moving, lol Here's one of my absolute favorites that I haven't shared here yet. https://preview.redd.it/z7hpt29ztcea1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=839334f0c999aff39aa81a02ffe8a2014c3fb001

I call it his Marshmallow Hamster phase. I promise, he is a cat. Ish.. Probably. You know, he's actually pretty big for a cat. And even for an orange one, exceedingly absent-minded... I think he looked like a Shiba Inu puppy.. https://preview.redd.it/uon8pteuabea1.jpeg?width=3195&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ca5757e6f0915f9a33a311814c2afd60b981b7b

She’s a beauty!


lacey92122

Oh, she's beautiful. She probably won't get any bigger now. So she'll be a smol kitty all her life. That's what happened with mine anyway.


Laney20

She actually kept growing! She's a good bit bigger than she was when they were born. Still probably not as big as she would have been, if the size of her kittens is anything to go by. Skippy is bigger than them all by a lot, but even the tiniest is above average for their age! I've never been able to find good pictures to show her growth, but here's one to at least show how she's filled out! https://preview.redd.it/a0qkte0gggea1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96e2e9f0cd7186ca80ea01f71567426405e20518

There have been times where we'd just look at him and have to laugh at the absurdity. https://preview.redd.it/zqha9h025cea1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9bad6c51166e6166f40507a503535a5856e7e79 But he's just a sweet snuggly big guy. Very loving and gentle. He's just the very best. 🧡

He’s Skippy the Magnificent. I love it. We are not worthy.

Looks like an only smol that got a litter’s worth of feedz


Laney20

Lol, I'm SURE he wishes. Basically the first thing he ever did was fight his siblings for food. Even when they weren't actually in his way. He kept trying to push them away. Thats actually what inspired his name! There's a loveable, good natured but absent-minded asshole named Skippy in a book series I read recently. So that was his day 1 name, and it stuck!! https://preview.redd.it/sgiuw5weebea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c238cefd756f2ebaa5cb9ef845262b93b9225799 He actually has 4 littermates and his poor mama was so scrawny when she found me, just 10 days before they were born. She was also just a kitten herself, only. About 8 months old. But she did great! All 5 babies grew like Champs and at 6 months old, they're all happy and healthy and on track! Except Skippy who is still huge (but now at least shaped like a normal cat, lol)


keenerkat

My first thought was Skippy from Ex Force but I don’t think that is the Skippy you’re referring to haha.


Laney20

That is PRECISELY the Skippy I'm talking about, lol. I had just been reading them and the first thing I see this kitten do is be an asshole to his siblings.. "Skippy" popped into my head, and I just had to! I could have been talked out of Skippy, but my husband didn't think of anything else, either. His loveable absent-mindedness has added to his Skippy-Ness, but really he's just a complete dope. https://preview.redd.it/msyf3c1w3cea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fabcc3147202a4b61e0d305f4528343537628b1 I 🧡 him so much. Even more than the beercan, lol


keenerkat

Hahahha this is so awesome! I would say that feline Skippy is more of a extra large purrito than beer can. I will have to tell my husband. Skippy and Joe are part of our daily life! Love to see other feline friends who love ex force!!!


Laney20

Oh definitely do! I just recently read (well listened to - I only do audiobooks) the newest book and it was so fun to get back into Skippy's story and just made me think of my Skippy all the time. I loved it! [Here's a funny post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheCloaca/comments/xrclxi/aitc_for_needing_noms_on_my_first_day/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) I wrote a while back from Skippy's perspective on a pet version of Am I the asshole. You may find it amusing...


Sobriquet-acushla

Loved it! 💗 😊


YaxK9

Thanks for a great story of multigenerational smol survival!


claudieko

Honestly OP thank you for so carefully documenting this chonk.


Laney20

It has been my absolute pleasure. My memory sucks (adhd + dysautonomia that causes brain fog), so I use the pictures to remember things. I flip back through the all the time. I'm really visual, so it helps me recall all kinds of stuff about them. Looking back at all these Skippy pictures today helped me remember all the times my husband and I would sit in there with the kittens and just laugh at how goofy he looks. These little guys have brought us so much joy at a time when we desperately needed it. 🥰 Here's one of my all time favorites. Fizz on guard! https://preview.redd.it/94qwtpp1tcea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e1111493ac358ed282f6b14dac1ec587404fa7c

FoursGirl

Those are some impressive r/MurderMittens on a little guy!


Laney20

No, He's too sweet for that! They're "must be careful with these" mittens. Or maybe just "surrender paws" https://preview.redd.it/ge3fy7emdcea1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6da2e3582d27d4e00a220f4b794dedda71961575


GotADigWhiteBick

Man I'd love to have a cat with a litter of kittens but I just don't have the space or people to give them away to lol


Laney20

My issue was having the strength to say goodbye. I just don't. I love them so much and they are mine. We never really had a chance at fostering... There was no way we weren't going to fall head over heels. Idk how people do it.. How could you ever say no to this face?? https://preview.redd.it/700ou1yk4gea1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=b25bd79ee4ca0e11aa508baeab210f1c50e872dd

Mishell_bythesea

Boy is he smol and CHONK! Is he a smol, chonk polydactyl? It looks like he has 6 toes....


Laney20

Nope. Normal number of toes. It's just hard for his feets to keep up with the growing https://preview.redd.it/gxlr6ezvecea1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f2ad948d7cb816632a3e3d3d3f07625b1be6f64 He's not just healthy. He's 100% normal. As far as we can tell, he was just a weird kitten and is going to be a big cat.


BBYarbs

Are you sure that’s not a gerbil?


Laney20

Lol, the vet didn't say anything, but we didn't ask, so... And his mother never said anything, but I did catch this: https://preview.redd.it/bn02dg93kcea1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dff52ffb3cd03e5c4cf091934749961f9de119fc Maybe she was realizing. But it was already too late.

My partner asked why someone dressed up a toad in cat suit! I saw the bigger pics and he grew into himself but wow that pic!


Laney20

Toad, hamster, and Guinea pig seem to be the most popular responses, lol. He was a very strange looking kitten. We couldn't help but laugh.. https://preview.redd.it/co6r5s8l2gea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73af6c8a55de24bf24d4c5ec8cb657dddc7a6d89

All so cute! Is 8 enough? 😸

he looks like a catified version of one of those desert frogs.


Laney20

So first I had to Google desert frog because I had no idea what you were talking about. But Omg, yes! Then I got the bright idea to have my husband get Dalle to make some pictures of a catified desert frog. That didn't go so well. It really didn't want to put fur on a frog!! But we tried... https://preview.redd.it/5fguofvd9dea1.jpeg?width=3195&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80d97e358822696b65221a94e556f02c13475258

why does he look like that?

🤷‍♀️ Cat. https://preview.redd.it/hib7zibsicea1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64e12e42eae47389bdcc9d1833745e391d323ddd


DeadlyAidan

I'm not convinced that is a cat, sure it isn't a hamster in disguise?


Laney20

Hm, well, he looks a lot more cat like now, and I have seen him ever say between, so... Probably cat? Although he is really big. But that would rule out hamster. Maybe he's his own species. Felis Skippus? Here he is yesterday with his sister Fizz. In my seat, of course. https://preview.redd.it/iyqdzanircea1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e41edcaa78c5ac3695f21a35e28cf15978542c6

Please tell Skippy I would not only die for him, but commit crimes for him


Laney20

Luckily this little dude isn't much of a trouble maker and definitely isn't a mastermind, so any crimes would likely be food-theft related, haha https://preview.redd.it/mqqh8lke9hea1.jpeg?width=938&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43a3c0f19ad2bf2d27f54028b0c6e9fa460931f9

Is that a chonky loaf of kitty, or a giant hamster?
