    It’s horrifying how animal abuse is seen as cute and funny by so many people, and considered an acceptable topic for a tumblr blog.

    In an ideal world, the owner of that cat should be banned from owning animals and prosecuted.

      You should read the FAQ on that page, they talk about the cat’s chonkness

        Yeah, about the FAQ.

        He’s just a huge fat cat. He diets, he works out, but never really loses any weight. We’re not too worried about it. His actual licensed vet says he’s fine, so we’ll just listen to her because she went to cat medical school or whatever.

        How is this possible? That cat is way beyond the “healthy at any size” range.

        I’m not interested in seeing excuses for abuse. They made a blog about their abused cat and people follow it and like the images because this abuse is considered ‘cute’. It’s sickening.

          . You guys are why we keep this blog going and I appreciate every single one of you, despite the jagweeds who keep crying to me about how I’m glorifying animal abuse, because obvz they don’t know the whole story

          Also, the cat died in 2019.

            No licensed vet would ever say a morbidly obese cat is ‘fine’.

            The owners fed the cat into morbid obesity, that was the diet it was on.

            That cat was too fat to ‘work out’. At that size, it would have been in pain from the strain on its joints after walking to its food bowl.

            The cat died prematurely due to this abuse, I don’t even have to check the age it died to be able to tell you this.

            Stop defending animal abusers.

              Checked for you: cat was seven, which I believe is around half their lifespan. I didn’t look at the rest of it; just fuck those people for not taking his health seriously.

              I’m not defending anyone, don’t shoot the messenger. Feel free to downvote me if that makes you feel better though.

                Ok. Your recommendation to read the FAQ about the abused animal and your posting of that extract from it, seemed to imply otherwise.

                  Nah, just trying to provide context. It might change your mind, it might reinforce your beliefs, I don’t have an agenda. Just extra content to make informed comments.
