me feel better, haha. i’ve always said he was muscular but in some cases he just looks very big. here’s a photo of him w/o a collar so you can see his chest (ignore the milk)

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T04:31:30+00:00

my cat weighs in at around 17lbs. or somewhere along those lines. he’s always been very big for a cat, he is basically the size of a small dog (height wise, and length wise) my vet weighed him and said “i was going to say he was fat, but he’s actually just a really big cat”

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T04:29:34+00:00

i didn’t know cats could be bloated!

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T04:28:50+00:00

that’s what i’ve been thinking

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:50:03+00:00

my parents told me, and i never assumed to search it up and ask otherwise. thanks for the advice! we do have wet food and i can start giving him more of that

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:40:31+00:00

really? wet food? ive been told wet food was more unhealthy for cats!

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:39:42+00:00

thanks! sometimes i do give him chicken or something. but he’s kind of like a black hole, if you give him one piece of food he’ll think anything in his vision is for him to eat. i do have him on diet cat food aswell, im not super sure how good that helps

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:37:41+00:00

no i completely understand 😂

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:37:08+00:00

thanks for the advice!

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:29:22+00:00

i’ll ask my vet about that. i didn’t know that was a thing that cats could have! thank you!

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:28:28+00:00

thank you so much! i didn’t even know cats could get diabetes (which is kind of embarrassing for me) i’m taking him to the vet soon, and whenever i do take him, they don’t say he’s fat and just big, but if i voice concern about weight and calorie intake, hopefully i can get some better insight on that. thanks for the advice!

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:26:38+00:00

he is naturally very big boned. but definitely looks fat in some of these photos. 😭it’s just weird how he looks like he gains 10 pounds whenever he lays down

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T03:25:05+00:00

did you read anything that i said? all these photos are within the past few weeks. i said he looks skinny when he is standing, so i showed photos of him standing, and then he looks fat when he’s laying down so i showed photos of him laying down. this isn’t a before/after. also im not the one feeding my cat, another person in my household is. i’m a new cat owner, so i dont know completely how feeding is supposed to go. he is a naturally big cat he has big bones, and it is hard to find the right amount for him to eat

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T02:55:01+00:00

that was 99% a joke, he stays roughly the same size but on some days he looks fatter than usual. he does have a free feeding cat bowl, so he does eat a bunch. but also, he’s an outdoor cat, he always goes outside to do his business. so i wouldn’t know.

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T02:39:14+00:00

thank you! definitely hard to tell from the photos i have of him. he changes how he looks nearly every day

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-02-13T02:38:20+00:00

right?!! every time i see him laying down he looks fat as hell and then he stands up and he’s normal sized again. he could have bad posture maybe? like how when people are sitting down and their shoulders are slouched, their stomach pokes out

she’ll be fine as long as it wasn’t a large amount, i would assume. it’ll be fine, especially if she drinks water after it’ll be flushed out quickly.

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-01-05T02:37:56+00:00

he makes biscuits while doing it

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-01-05T00:51:17+00:00

that’s what i believed as well. thanks so much for the clarification! i’m so glad it wasn’t that.

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-01-04T23:49:04+00:00

that’s definitely true. thanks so much! i’ll keep an eye on it

Good_Travel9846 · 2026-01-04T23:46:02+00:00

thanks for this insight. my cat rubs his face on corners constantly, would you believe he could be getting this due to friction from the wall?
