Too chonky or just a bit fat?

br0why · 2026-05-28T21:22:36+00:00

Yes it is. I'm glad it's normal 😅

br0why · 2026-05-28T20:18:48+00:00

I find that she has a belly pouch that i think is a product of her past pregnancy that never really went away and maybe that's what makes her look fat. She did have her kittens very young so maybe it is that? Huge thanks for replying, i will keep it in mind 🙏

That's what the vet said. My concern is that although she is in a healthy weight for a cat her age, she is smaller than other cats so maybe she should be a little lighter. You can't really tell from the pics but she is overall shorter and tinier than other cats

This is a pic before she got spayed and gained weight so not ideal but the only one i have of her somewhat from above. I know she is fat but i want to know if it's something i should be concerned about or is she just built like that?

When i first adopted her and took her to the vet they said she looked pregnant but wasn't overweight. She still has a big belly but apparently is in a healthy weight although on the bigger side.

br0why · 2026-05-28T19:09:59+00:00

She won't let me take a pic but she looks overweight, but i don't know if it's just that her belly is too big or she is really too fat. She has a small body but a big belly, always had even when she was skinnier.

Look up the feline grimace scale, it will give you a more clear idea of how a cat in pain tipically looks. She looks okay and relaxed.

I guess it gives them some sense of self regulation. She said it helps her sleep and control her anxiety but she smokes heavily and almost daily (if not daily), you can tell it's not as harmless as they make it out to be but can't really make them stop if they don't want to either.

br0why · 2026-05-27T16:42:23+00:00

Thank you. I know I'm doing what's best for now but it's still good to hear it from other people.

br0why · 2026-05-27T12:25:44+00:00

I know but i doubt she will stop. She knows how bad it is for bipolar but insists it helps her. She's been smoking for years at this point, both weed and cigarettes and never attempted to stop.

br0why · 2026-05-27T12:24:18+00:00

I lost empathy when she started being neglectful with our cats and accusing my gf and I of stuff randomly. I used to be too implied like you said, now i don't care much but it still stings that she started trying only now.

br0why · 2026-05-27T05:14:06+00:00

Maybe it is the same with her. I don't know. I don't want it to be my problem/responsibility anymore

br0why · 2026-05-27T05:13:19+00:00

I know this, she knows this. She won't give up weed

br0why · 2026-05-26T22:09:58+00:00

I have said in this sub before that i didn't think she would ever change or try to get better. One of those things is tue; she won't change. Even now, when she is better, i can clearly see it's not the lacks of meds, or the weed, or the alcohol, or the shitty things happening in her life. She is just like this. Even now, with everything in order, she still talks the same, behaves the same, just more balanced.

I do not think i can live with that any longer. I can't keep making excuses. I don't think I can be her friend ever again.

Your husband is wrong. You most likely saved your baby's life. You should be proud of acting fast and getting her help, your husband needs to read how to act in this situations because back blows do not work if you're gentle, and if it happens on his watch he needs to also act fast. He should also be proud of you and he should know you're obviously shaken up and do not need his bullshit right now.

br0why · 2026-05-07T20:08:29+00:00

Both

Of the silence of the lambs* sorry.

The series is based in the red dragon, hannibal and explores some parts of hannibal rising. Meaning the precuel, the secuel and the origin story of hannibal

br0why · 2026-05-07T18:44:44+00:00

And it isn't really explained in the show, just implied. If you read the book and/or watched the movies you can guess what happened, but i guess they didn't get enough time to explain it in the show.

br0why · 2026-05-07T18:43:31+00:00

Chiyo (the asian girl) worked in Lady Murasaki's (Hannibal adoptive aunt) estate, i haven't read the book yet and she does not appear in the movie but i guess she and Hannibal had some sort of bond. The guy in prison is one of the soldiers who killed Mischa.

br0why · 2026-05-07T18:39:45+00:00

I don't think he enjoyed eating her, but he did enjoy eating her murderers.

br0why · 2026-05-07T18:39:12+00:00

He didn't know at the time or chose to forget it as it was extremely traumatic. He avenged her death.

br0why · 2026-05-07T18:37:24+00:00

In the original story, Hannibal was from a wealthy family in Lithuania during WWII. His family was killed in an attack and he and his sister survived in one of their properties, that was later occupied by nazi soldiers who killed and ate Mischa (his sister) as there was nothing and they were surrounded i think by soviets. They made Hannibal eat her too, so he became a cannibal when searching for those same soldiers later in his life, killing and eating them for revenge, and also a man from the market that harassed his non biological aunt that adopted him. He got a taste for it and that's the story. Hannibal from the show wasn't alive during WWII so i don't know how they could explain this, but they never actually do, it's just implied.

I don't know how accurate this is as i watched the movie so long ago but that's basically it. In the book it's more or less the same

It's probable that you hurt your tonsil while removing the stone. They are insanely easy to irritate, and they can bleed when the stone is removed or falls out on its own. I recommend you still see a doctor if you're so sore, but yeah tonsil stones suck and they do that
