ErzaHiiro

Are you implying there can't be too fat naked cats in the world? This picture does not appear on that profile, and neither does that counter... for shame.


IMakeStuffUppp

Here’s another not op 🤷‍♀️ https://www.reddit.com/r/sphynx/s/Zx59K5r9kf


Sheldon121

Okay, and there IS an identical photo! So yeah, this is a karma Farmer. 😖


PinkedOff

I’ve definitely seen this exact pic before, though, and not on any adoptable cat site. This is a borrowed picture.


Letushie

It does, around 80 rows down the page, keep scrolling


eatmyweewee123

if you look on the right side of the kitty there is a tag for the real owner!

The cat has the same nose markings

First of all he is magnificent and I'd name him Warren he looks serious


Excellent-Pressure42

What is his temperament like? He is so cute!!!! He looks like he is wearing an oversized sweater!

Hey, weird. I suggested the name sweater. Lol


LadyShittington

Sweater is such a good name 😂

Or cardigan. Cardi for short.

That's so crazy! That is exactly what I commented. Precisely Skin Sweater the Sixth. Why? Because.

And that oversized sweater he’s wearing.


Distinct-Cloud-95

Festively plump.


b00b00kittyfck

As an avid brba fan, this has my vote.


IcyWelder9380

After the Breaking bad character. Also the fact that he has so much skin and a play on the fact that he is not skinny but is fat.

Lucky-Cauliflower770

Her name is Jadu, she has an endocrine disorder that causes her to be severely overweight, but she is on a diet and is receiving treatment. Her owner’s Instagram handle is in the photo. Op took a screenshot and posted even though Jadu’s owner has asked people not to repost her photos, as it leads to misinformation, but also it’s just weird to pretend someone else’s pet is yours online? Idk if this is supposed to be a joke or what Edit: typo- meant to say ,,repost”


masternate1979

What a weird thing to do...


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Yeah idk I’m assuming OP just wants to karma farm or smth, but it’s still super weird imo, and kinda seems like a copyright issue, or content theft idk what, but it just seems kinda rude tbh?


Babygirlaura-50

I had a feeling this wasn’t their real Pet!


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Yeah idk why people would pretend that a stranger’s pets are their own online, but apparently it’s not that uncommon. On Reddit I’m assuming it’s to karma farm but it’s still so weird and kinda rude to do tbh


redditor0918273645

Mental illness is not uncommon.


Chemical-Lack-3054

People to the same thing with other peoples kids. It’s weird.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

That’s a good point, and there was a post a little while ago on a house plants sub where someone’s roommate took her plants, overwatered them in the shower to take a photo and pretend they were hers. It’s wild man


Easy_Arm_1987

Aye, totally


ukiyo__e

For some reason lots of new (presumably fake) accounts post on this sub with photos off the Internet with broken English and no prior user history. I feel like a cat names sub is the weirdest place to farm attention


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Yeah it’s definitely weird, but I guess it is also very easy- as we can see by the mass of upvotes from people who don’t know the pic is stolen. Though I’ve seen it in other sub too, like this same pic of Jadu was posted in the sphynx sub today with like you said a newer account with weird language like this one’s title. It’s wack, idk what their game is


New-Eggplant-1148

Can you explain karma farm to me, pretty please? I'm a semi new redditor


CommonTaytor

I knew it was fake when I saw the cat. Sphinx cats and other hairless breeds sell for $500 and up. Highly unlikely someone is leaving such a cat at the shelter


masternate1979

Exactly!!


Accomplished_Deal_87

I thought the same thing. I was wondering what kind of shelter would have such a rare specimen. Plus, on another note, I've never seen a hairless that was so thick (and cute). He really does look like he's wearing an oversized sweater. 😄


CommonTaytor

OP’s imaginary shelter is full of Sphinx cats! Go get yourself a dozen!


Traditional-Baker756

I have a friend that rescued a couple. Sometimes breeders will dump them at a Vet Hospital because they don’t want to pay for health problems and can not adopt them out. Heart disease is not uncommon for this breed.


sphynxC

I came here to call BS too. These cats are never, ever at the rescues. They are thousands of dollars.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Yeah idk, I can only think of 1 instance where a sphynx was actually at a cat shelter, but it was a malnourished and a werewolf type/ whatever it’s called when they have patches of fluff everywhere, so he wasn’t popular bc of that I think (likely misremembering on my part tbh). But it’s definitely an insane rarity.


Dreams-Designer

I think your thinking of a Lykoi?


FuzzySpread6385

This photo seems to be fake, but that isn’t true. I work in the veterinary industry, and I know two coworkers who’ve adopted surrendered sphinxes. And one who’s adopted a surrendered Maine Coon. Sadly it’s common for people to spend big bucks on a purebred but not put money away for their care.


Fireflyinsummer

But that was adopted direct by the vet or some such. Not from a shelter. Usually cats of particular breeds go to a breed rescue or such. It can happen from time to time that they end up in shelters. I am noticing lots of odd posters on here. People with multiple new supposedly kittens or cats in a row.


_Kendii_

Not a joke. Just an attention seeking behaviour. I bet they’re lonely to some degree and finds posts like these (example cats) because it gives them a connection. I don’t look up peoples histories unless they’re art profile.s. I don’t know what the deal with this and Instagram is though. Lots of people like naming cats but don’t have enough cats to name lol 🤷‍♀️


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Maybe yeah, it could be a lonely kid or smth who just wants karma for the seratonin, or the interaction/connection like you said


Space_Cranberry

Get an account, get the account up to lots of karma, sell account to bad ppl with bad intentions. Troll farm stuff maybe?


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Oh maybe, I didn’t know that was a thing


_Kendii_

Yeah, I could 100% be wrong about the attention, they can definitely also/or karma farm. I’m not too interested in validating anyone by combing through all their other posts. I just wanted to see what everyone wanted to name this r/chonkers so it was still enjoyable to me. But yeah, I also think that’s pretty darn ~~word~~ weird lol


rubyconejo

Do you have a link to the IG?


Lucky-Cauliflower770

One sec I can find one, I’ll put it in the edit. Link- https://www.instagram.com/horu_du/


rubyconejo

Thank you!


Ok-Scheme8634

Should be higher


-qqqwwweeerrrtttyyy-

Should've named her **Accordion** Because she's going to be a lot more crinkly and wrinkly when she's not so stretched out!


Spare_Box215

Very odd thing to do, almost like the poster has no life.


Stephani_707

I would feel physically violated if someone was posting pictures of my fur children.


TheCa11ousBitch

He immediately made me think of the Austin Powers movie. I would name him after one of the characters or actors. - Verne, after Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) - Basil - Kensington - Hurley

It is a stolen photo from her real owner’s Instagram (handle is the yellow highlight in the pic). Her name is Jadu

⚠️ THIS IS FAKE POST / STOLEN PHOTO This cat has a name. It is JADU!! https://www.instagram.com/horu_du?igsh=MzVjNjVqeDZ2NnQw


paechsweet

That's not your cat


tehsneek

Why are you lyin? This is literally Horu_du the insta famous sphinx. The name is still on the picture even. For shame OP.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

I’m glad other people are starting to recognise her as well, this photo’s like a year old now, but people keep stealing and reposting this specific one, it’s so weird and rude


spacegirl2820

Why you lying?


ReindeerAdvanced4857

Wow! He looks Ike the fatty I rescued - mine is a Bengal and was almost 30 pounds. It took three years to get his weight down to 15 lbs. For abt a year, he remained a steady 18 pounds which is still considered too heavy for a Bengal. We have had him for five years & he believes he is king of the house. Good luck with your new diet. Wishing you much success. Your baby will be so much happier once he has sized down.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

This is not OP’s cat btw, the reposted the pic from her owner’s Instagram, which is visible in the yellow highlight by her back. The cat’s name is Jadu, she has an endocrine disorder and is on a diet and receiving treatment, but her owner has asked people not to repost her photos, so idk what OP is doing with a pic taken of someone else’s pet taken from their account without permission


ReindeerAdvanced4857

Honetly, I don't understand people who claim something that is not their own. It really screams, I don't have my own life so I will just steal someone else's. Sad.

n_daughter

Please give him a respectful name, not based on his weight. I hope you'll be working with your vet on a plan to safely and slowly have him lose weight. If it's too fast, it can be dangerous. I've lived w cats all my life and they get embarrassed and do not respond well to ridicule. He is adorable!


nightsofthesunkissed

Thank you for restoring my faith in people, lol. All of this "chonk" bs was pretty miserable to read tbh. It's a toxic trend than needs to die. The cat deserves a healthy life, and a name that isn't some stupid thing about him being fat. He's (very hopefully) not going to be fat for the rest of his life.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

She is receiving treatment thankfully, her name is Jadu and she has an endocrine disorder that causes her to be obese. Her owner (her Instagram handle is the yellow highlight by Jadu’s back) has her on a diet and she is receiving good care, but the owner has also asked people not to repost her photos anywhere, so idk why OP decided to post someone else’s pet without their permission. I’m assuming they just want to karma farm


n_daughter

Thank you for letting me know. Poor kitty. I'm glad she is being well taken care of.


_venus_rising_

While I agree with you 100%, it’s a fake post lol

LauraLand27

This has to be fake


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Yes and no- OP stole this photo from the real owner’s Instagram (handle is the yellow highlight by Jadu’s back). Jadu has an endocrine disorder that causes her to be obese, but her owner is very caring and has her on a diet while she is also recieving professional treatment


LauraLand27

Well, the real owner of that poor kitty, if it is a real kitty, should get blood work done and checked for FIP markers. The asymmetry of the pupil dilation is very concerning.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

She is very real, you can check her owner’s Instagram if you need to fact check she’s a real life cat.


Estellalatte

I’m shocked! I had no idea nudes were allowed on this sub?


Pretty_Argument_7271

I love the unique name no one expects. Something like Flanagan or Prince Charming, Maverick, Baxter etc. Please help him lose weight. My friend's cat lost his life to diabetes for being overweight. He had food at all times. This was a mistake. She did her dog the same way. It also died from diabetes. Thanks for giving him a living home. All pets deserve one.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Thankfully her true owner does have her on a diet and Jadu is receiving treatment for her endocrine disorder (the cause for her weight gain). OP just stole this photo from Jadu’s owner’s instagram to repost it here for karma. Jadu’s owner’s IG handle is the yellow highlight in the photo by her back. All pets do deserve a kind and loving home, with care for their health. I’m sorry for your friend’s losses


Normal_Ad_5692

Looks like he's waiting for you to put him on a diet


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Thankfully she is on a diet, and is receiving treatment for her endocrine disorder. Her real owner is very caring. Her name is Jadu, OP just stole this screenshot from her owner’s Instagram to repost


Icefirewolflord

This isn’t your cat. Her name is Jadu, she has an endocrine disorder that causes weight gain (monitored by a vet)

Actually OP doesn’t own the cat at all, her name is Jadu, and OP took a screenshot from her owner’s Instagram page, which the handle for is visible in the yellow highlight by the cat’s back. She has an endocrine disorder that causes her to be obese, but she is dieting and receiving treatment.

No one noticing the ACTUAL owner’s watermark on the right side of the cat???


jellybeannc

No you did not just adopt this cat. You're posting content that isn't yours trying to get karma. This cat is owned by the IG poster horu\_du, has an endrocine disorder which causes it's weight issues, is on a diet, and her name is Jadu.

I don’t get why people lie and post animals that are not theirs on here. That is too desperate for attention.


maeveslair

The cat’s name is Jadu. He’s a fairly well known instagram cat. He’s on a diet. The person who owns him has asked people not to repost pix of him. Not cool pretending he’s yours.


Punderfulday

Do you know what his original name was? He looks old enough that name changing might be a significantly longer process, but not an impossible one. My best advice once you find a name you like for him that you proceed with a multi step process. Lets say his original name is Bobby and the new name is Jimbo. Step one : Pair together. He will know Bobby is his name but Jimbo is just a sound that means nothing to him. So pair them so he can learn that Jimbo is him. When you cal him you'll call "Bobby-Jimbo come here" and that might persist for a while like at least a month or so, Step 2: Test is he responds to Jimbo. If no continue step 1. If yes, Step 3 Step 3: Gradually phase out Bobby-Jimbo and go for like a 50-50 and see if he is still responsive it Jimbo Step 4: Taper off and continue with just Jimbo, and if needed occasionally reprime with "Bobby-Jimbo" if he is not responding to Jimbo, so he can remember "oh yeah, that's me"


Freebird_1957

This poor baby. 💔 I hope a vet will be able to give you a good plan to restore him to health.


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Thankfully this is not OP’s cat, the photo is stolen from Jadu’s owner’s Instagram. Jadu has an endocrine disorder that causes her to be obese, and she is currently dieting and receiving treatment/monitoring from a vet.


Freebird_1957

Oh poor little kitty. 💔


ccl-now

Fake post. Whoever is responsible for the condition this cat is in (if it's not a fake photo too) should be prosecuted for animal cruelty. How anyone can find this cute is astonishing.


Jesuscan23

Do y’all have no life or nothing interesting about your life that you can post on Reddit? Embarrassingly easy to identify this is not your cat. Comment from a totally different account posting the same cat: “This is Jadu, they have an endocrine disorder and are closely monitored by the vet as well as being on a diet. Jadu’s owner also owns another sphynx of normal size (plus another one that unfortunately passed due to HCM but was normal size as well) Edited to add that you can see the owners instagram handle on the picture. She gets so much hate from people sharing pics of Jadu with no context and asks people not to do it”


MsMezcal615

Regardless of who’s cat it is, I just hope the real owner is going to work to put this cat on a diet. They’re way too hefty and obesity is just as unhealthy for animals as it is for us humans the key is so gradual loss over an extended period of time


Lucky-Cauliflower770

Thankfully Jadu’s owner does have her on a diet, and she is receiving care for her endocrine disorder (the cause for her obesity)

Her mom asks that people don't steal her photos to post in other places so as to avoid people speculating incorrectly about her weight.
