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
