The fake story doesn’t add anything nor does it hurt anyone (except maybe the truth), but I was curious to see the original image
Edit: linked the post instead of the image itself
Ah, damn, didn’t realize it wasn’t the original
I saw this meme a while back
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.
People lying on the internet again.
I’m certainly not a veterinarian and I’m quite prepared to be proven wrong, but yeah your explanation seems much more likely
Because they take one sentence from the vet’s verbatim of the vestige of the information from the textbook/experience and only focus on that. Imagine the vet says about five paragraphs worth of information about the effects of obesity on cats, and has one line about “his blood panel doesn’t show anything outside of the normal range right now.” The owners focus on just what confirms their view.
“he’s fine for now” truncated to “he’s fine” and then HE DIES AT 7 YEARS OLD
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.
Oh lawd he comin!
The FAQ is worth a read

It sleeps wherever it’s legs give out. His little kitty knees must be powder
Yeah. Can’t be healthy, his head to body ratio is ridiculous.
It’s very unhealthy, and its owners should be ashamed of themselves
It’s not just “not healthy.” It’s fuckin animal abuse.
its*
(It’s is it is)
“Its knees work hard because it’s severely overweight.”
It’s*
noun, possessiveThe cat has knees. It’s knees are powder.
Possessive apostrophes are apostrophes (’) used with the letters at the end of a noun to show ownership over or a close connection with another noun. For example, if you were talking about the tail of your cat, you can add a possessive apostrophe and an s to show which noun is the owner.
My cat’s tail
Here you go: It’s vs its https://www.grammarly.com/blog/commonly-confused-words/its-vs-its/
We both used links from the same source.
I’ve traditionally used no apostrophe for inanimate objects, like a bus.
The bus has wheels. Its wheels are black.
But when dealing with a gendered, thinking being, use the apostrophe.
Edit: no need for down-votes for a good-faith discussion, is there?
From the page that you linked:
The important thing to remember is don’t use possessive apostrophes with any pronouns, either possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives.
If you see an apostrophe with a pronoun, it must be part of a contraction.
its—possessive adjective of it
it’s—contraction for “it is”
The nature of the object doesn’t change which form to use (which should make it easier to determine which is correct), and the correct form is not a debate.
Sure, language changes, but for now that’s the accepted rule.
Awesome! Thanks! I was initially sure the pedant was right, but my grammarly “research” was hasty and misapplied, and I thought I had learned a new thing I was doing wrong. I do a lot of those…
No problem - cheers.
Edit: no need for down-votes for a good-faith discission, is there?
Downvotes for spreading incorrect information is appropriate.
discission
Can’t tell if troll or tragically clueless
From your own source:
“When should you not use a possessive apostrophe? Do not use possessive apostrophes with pronouns, which have their own unique possessive forms.”
You wouldn’t use he’s or she’s or they’s for possession. It goes: his, hers, theirs, its. The cat’s knees = its knees.
Oh lawd he comin!
I knew this was fake because there’s no way that cat got up on that bed by itself.
I mean, the poster could have been happy with lifting the cat onto the bed when it sleeping peacefully
near his unprotected toesatop his feet.
My local cafe had one they adopted from the street (or she adopted the whole cafe). She would choose random people to jump on their laps and demand pets. Even though I’m a dog a person I miss her. Not because she passed away but because I moved away. I’m guessing she is still extorting pets.
