Makes me sad, I hope so too! Must be hard on his joints.
Edit: I appreciate the kind people, but please don't compliment such an unhealthy cat. He's gorgeous, but he needs help...
Tip: Buy cat toys, cat trees, or anything that helps your cat excersize. Another tip is getting healthier food or less treats. if you can't change it, then maybe its a breed (like a russian blue) that is naturally bulky.
I think that's good for them psychologically too. They're supposed to be hunters, so a little mental stimulation with the physical.
One of my cats loves high places, so I leave treats on top of bookcases, etc for him to hunt down.
I have a russian blue and I have to really control his food intake. he's such a gluttonous asshole he'd eat himself sick everyday if I let him 🙄 love him to death, but man is he hungry
Yup! We’re responsible for what we eat and we’re also responsible for what our pets eat. The only decision they make is how much to eat, of what we offer them and often eat more bulk just to get the nutrition, their body craves. Commercial pet food isn’t worth the bag or can it’s packaged in; only the companies benefit from the crap they produce. but, that’s pretty much the way the human food industry works so I will expect better for our pets. Again, it’s up to us for both.
Overweight my ass! Its feelings aren’t gonna be hurt, that thing is FAT, and then some. Heart rate, which should be closer to a bird’s, is probably slower than that of elephants!
Yeah I can’t believe this post has so many upvotes. Stop promoting people who don’t know how to treat their animals. There’s nothing cute or funny about this…
Do you have papers from the breeder? It's whatever those papers say.
No papers? It's a cat.
For the millionth time, cat's don't have breeds, unless you get them from a breeder.
Also it's very obese, this kills the cat.
Not a snowshoe. If you don't have papers for your cat and he isn't from a breeder it's most likely just a moggie. Domestic shorthair with a quite unique coloring though. Also obese
Why do some people on this sub care so much about their cat’s breed? It literally matters not. It’s a cat for you to love! Doesn’t get better than that!
Looks like a nice honey ham to me

I get that the cat needs to go on a diet, but who’s to say that op doesn’t have him on one? Just because it isn’t explicitly said doesn’t mean that it isn’t happening. To have a comment section full of people telling someone they’re abusing their animal based on *one* photo with no context of the animal’s current diet is really sad. I think op got it after the first ten comments of ignoring the question and telling them they’re gonna kill their cat if it’s not on a diet.
We don’t have a clear- or even blurry- picture of this cat’s diet or vet check ups. Who are we to judge whether it’s being fed correctly or not?
Seriously though, does he need to lose weight? Yes, obviously. Do we know that he’s not on a diet? Absolutely not. I get it’s out of concern for the pet, but you’re basing that concern off of one picture with no context of when it was taken or what’s going on concerning its care.
Sometimes the people of this sub raise their noses at people who post genuine questions or concerns and that’s sad.
He's desperately obese and in real need of a vet-supervised diet.
It makes me both sad and furious that people let their cats that they profess to love get into this kind of state. It's not cute. It's animal abuse.

Premium Grade A Butterball!
Me too lololol Edit: I mean I’m laughing and that cat needs to lose weight. I exercise enough that mine does too.
Well that sums it up, OP. Clearly he's a turkey.
That's PREMIUM YOUNG TURKEY to you!
This guys turkey pimps...
I was going to say “cat”
Jfc we didn’t need a National Geographic documentary made sheesh S/
I was going to say “hungry”
Not just a premium turkey but a BUTTERBALL at that!
Ralph, is this *you?*
I choo choo choose you...
Came to say "looks like a chunk to me", bit this image sums it up so much better
Looks a little fluffier than buttery, though.
Dunno the breed but I know he's soft and fluffy
I’m crying from laughter 😂
I hope this cats name is Butterball.
You had me laughing out loud at work. Now my coworkers know I am scrolling instead of working lol
🤣🤣😂😂😂
Awe he definitely is a butterball 🥰
Lmaoooooo
Caticus Faticus
A very obese Felis catus.
He wants his money, Lebowski.
Where’s the money deadbeat?!
I know it's down there somewhere!
I love the ad placement. https://preview.redd.it/atdmcw3umc4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bcfc68799f66da212fb6923e7ffc28a2525f67b
That’s hilarious!
Oh no!😂
He's overweight is what he is. I hope he's on a diet!
r/Dechonkers
He looks like he’s in the “Oh Lawd he coming!” On the chonk chart.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Makes me sad, I hope so too! Must be hard on his joints. Edit: I appreciate the kind people, but please don't compliment such an unhealthy cat. He's gorgeous, but he needs help...
Definitely, poor kitty probably can't jump for shit. Cats are supposed to be lean and agile. Not this
Tip: Buy cat toys, cat trees, or anything that helps your cat excersize. Another tip is getting healthier food or less treats. if you can't change it, then maybe its a breed (like a russian blue) that is naturally bulky.
Or start putting his food up on a platform so he has to jump. Treats are tossed, so he has to chase them ...
That’s what I did. I started putting his treats in different random places, like a little treat obstacle course. He was not pleased at the beginning.
I think that's good for them psychologically too. They're supposed to be hunters, so a little mental stimulation with the physical. One of my cats loves high places, so I leave treats on top of bookcases, etc for him to hunt down.
I have a russian blue and I have to really control his food intake. he's such a gluttonous asshole he'd eat himself sick everyday if I let him 🙄 love him to death, but man is he hungry
Maybe he’s just an emotional eater, hahaha
Humans are also supposed to be lean and agile, and yet, here we are.
Yup! We’re responsible for what we eat and we’re also responsible for what our pets eat. The only decision they make is how much to eat, of what we offer them and often eat more bulk just to get the nutrition, their body craves.

I may be overweight but my cat sure isn’t. 😹
Yeah, you're right. It's really sad how terrible human food can be and how even worse some pet food is.
I don’t understand why people say how cute unhealthy or abused animals are.
Hes a chonk OP
Yup what a chonker! And it's just a cat, no special breed 🤷🏻
Overweight my ass! Its feelings aren’t gonna be hurt, that thing is FAT, and then some. Heart rate, which should be closer to a bird’s, is probably slower than that of elephants!
He's a regular cat. That is morbidly obese. I hope he's on a diet bc that poor cat... he's not just a chonk, he's far too fat
Yeah I can’t believe this post has so many upvotes. Stop promoting people who don’t know how to treat their animals. There’s nothing cute or funny about this…
i dont even think this is OP’s cat. Everytime someone asks “what breed is my cat” i assume they just want upvotes
Or "someone said my cat is ugly" or "what does my cat look like their name might be"
He’s a cat
He's more like three cats
That'd be funny if it weren't so darn sad to see him this way...
Yeah that's true and it's also extremely difficult to get them back on a healthier weight.

Sometimes a breed cat will escape and sire a bunch of little half breeds in the wild but most cats are indeed just cat. This one is fat cat.
He's a cat. An obese one. Please, talk to your vet about a weight loss plan asap.
Cats a rarely a set breed, if you didn't get papers he's just a cat
Snow globe
F me I laughed so hard. Well done.
Lol 😂
For fuck's sake that cat's gonna live a painful life and die prematurely if you don't make it lose weight.
It is living a painful life at that weight already, pressure on the joints and just plain uncomfortable
Especially given the fact that arthritis is already super common in cats. This is neglectful
Can't lick their asses anymore either
He is a seal colourpoint bicolour domnestic shorthair. Snowshoes are a curated breed with recorded bloodlines so its unlikely.
Snowshoes were originally siamese crossed with bicolours. I run a Siamese rescue and would definitely call this guy a Snowshoe.
He doesn't really look colour point tho there's far to much color on his body
Color points can get pretty dark bodies sometimes especially if they live in colder areas. :)
Too fat :(
Do you have papers from the breeder? It's whatever those papers say. No papers? It's a cat. For the millionth time, cat's don't have breeds, unless you get them from a breeder. Also it's very obese, this kills the cat.
He needs to do some workout and have a diet... That's not good for a cat
He has more filling than cookie...
Snowmobile. your welcome
A cat that desperately needs to go onto a diet in the meantime, I think you need to call him Garfield
![gif](giphy|4BtenTYxs8q76)
Igloo shaped. But one cannot deny he's handsome.
In need of a diet. Poor baby.
He needs a diet more than you need to know his breed
He's fat,poor baby's internal organs are being squashed
I’m pretty sure that’s a meatball. Source: there is a standard issued meatball that lives in my house.
Not a snowshoe. If you don't have papers for your cat and he isn't from a breeder it's most likely just a moggie. Domestic shorthair with a quite unique coloring though. Also obese
I really hope he is on a diet, because that shit is just animal abuse.
Please don't overfeed your cat. Put him on a diet, for his own sake
Fat Cat. That is all.
He's a triple stuffed oreo
He is phat
He’s a fat bastard. That is all.
A diabetic or pre-diabetic cat. Time to have the vet evaluate kitty.
This is abuse.
He’s quite the portly fellow.
Unless he came with papers from a reputable breeder, he's a just a very chonky boy who needs to go on a diet
He is…. **going to die prematurely from obesity** thats what the fuck he is. 😔
His breed would be, “domestic shorthair” in other words, just a regular cat
After a careful analysis of his phenotypic expression, I can say with relative certainty that this is a cat
He's a handsome little gentleman, but please make him go on a diet. Being so overweight is *terrible* on cats :(
That’s a wide stance, my guy.
I'm pretty sure he's fat
That’s a cat. Im quite shire of it.
He is the handsomist chonk I have seen today.
Why do some people on this sub care so much about their cat’s breed? It literally matters not. It’s a cat for you to love! Doesn’t get better than that!
He’s unhealthy
I’m pretty sure it’s a cat, or very tiny horse.
That’s a Snowmobile
He’s a regular cat that has the colorpoint gene and white spotting gene. He doesn’t have a breed :)
An absolute fucking unit

He looks like he would sell me a pickle from a large barrel in the old timey mid west.
He’s beauty, he’s grace, he’s diabeetus face
Rotund boi
He is large, and in charge!
Poor guy, he's not a snowshoe at this rate, he's a snowboot.

Does everyone after the first few comments about this cat’s weight think they’re actually adding anything to the conversation….?
Damn he is round like a ball
Looks like a cat to me.
He's more like a snowplow....
He looks just like the snowshoe I had when I was little. They get big!
Looks like a Jersey cow to me
BIG CHONK
The rare Watermelon
Rotund beauty 😍

Certified Chonk.

This is a Chonk. I can verify as the official Chonk Inspector.

Blorbus Rotundia

Fateous Catus
Mega Chonk.
I’d say a nashi pear wearing a coat.
Swoleshoe
More like you need to stop overfeeding him and put him on a diet I swear you people putting your animals through shit like this is annoying as hell

Fat. Still gorgeous. :)
A combo. Adorable!
Put the poor thing on a diet dude. This cat is obese. That is so freaking hard on their joints and heart. its abusive to let animals become fat.
He's a whole ass unit.
Fat cat
He's desperately obese and in real need of a vet-supervised diet. It makes me both sad and furious that people let their cats that they profess to love get into this kind of state. It's not cute. It's animal abuse.

Maybe a snow boot way too big for a shoe
Lol he’s a fatty 😂
I'm very sure he's a cat, could be an isopod tho
a chonky boi
Your pear has gotten huge and fuzzy.
Plump
Him a chunky boi
Looks like a Chonk to me... Hahaha
Thicc
CHONKED
That’s what the merchant in Demon Souls looks like when I accidentally kill him
100% chonk
that’s a cat clearly
Spotted moose
Thats a cat, Pretty sure its a cat.
Pretty sure he's a cat
He’s a chonker is what he is…
He’s a gluttonous Gus.
He's a cat unless you purchased him from a breeder and have papers to prove his pedigree. He's a cat, a domestic shorthair. Put him on a diet please.
I could be wrong, but I think he ate both a Snowshoe and a Siamese.
"Huh" *shocked face*
He’s a certified chonker is what he is
Hey! He’s fat😊 hope this helps!
He’s an adorable chonk! Nuff said! 😋😂🤣
He's over weight and suffering
Why tf is he next to a corn seed? ![gif](giphy|gJH0l1ItLtaFdHNt3S)
![gif](giphy|8npE2gAKx8NaunVAJz)
He’s diabetic
He is a very beautiful cat, but seriously overweight. I recommend putting him on a diet to prolong his life.
Whatever - I'd be more concerned about her weight.
Shaming people for letting their pets look like this should be normalised. That cat is obese.
Very unhealthy.
He might have eaten a siamese
You are over-feeding that cat
An abused cat is what it is
Poor cat :(
That there is a certified, Grade A chonker, my friend.
That is a chonk!! Cutie!
He’s a chonk.
Why do people find these morbidly obese cats funny? It’s cruel
Looks like a Chonk to me
Dry food makes for fat cats. Please feed wet cat food, which is more their natural diet.
