Today, I took my little Cleo to the Dr for her yearly visit. While rubbing her tummy, he called her chubby and said that she needed to lose weight. When we got home, the poor thing went straight for her food. I know she was reacting to his fat shaming. Now I ask you, does this look too chubby:

    She doesn't look that overweight for a cat. Vets are like doctors and tend to overreact. Then again our cats eat like they're always starving.

    HAHAHA I read the title and immediately rolled my eyes.

    Your little cat is NOT chubby! He's just big boned.

    Omg... I just realized, my dog emotional eats too!! He always gets so excited whenever I come home from work but instead of physically greeting me, he'll randomly snack on his food bowl. .___.

    She's not over weight, but could maybe work on reducing her bodyfat a bit! :laugh:

    She looks a lot like my tubby little boy. Every time I pick him up all I can think is damn, that is one solid cat. :laugh:

    She looks happy, with a good, solid body type. I wouldn't worry too much--my old guy was a brick (over 13 lb. at his heaviest) and he's nearly 18 now.

    I showed this to a friend for lulz. Her eyes widened and then there was some impolite language which summarised to: Your cat's kind of fat, love :laugh: :laugh:

    Funny! But cats do not emotionally eat from a vet shaming them for being chubby. :)
