Fat Fuck Edition

Why have I seen many fat cats but I've never once seen a fat dog? I know fat dogs exist but I've never seen one, ever.
>>
>>5165563
cat owners are retarded.

>>5165563
Making cats fat is good for the environment. They can't catch the birds that way.

Making dogs fat is bad for the environment. Fat dogs take giant mushy shits that are impossible to clean up. Skinny dogs shit bricks that leave negligible residue and are easy to throw far enough to land them on rooftops and apartment balconies (just use a plastic bag for sanitation and get a handful of dirt in it or something so no one asks why you have an empty dog shit bag)
>>
>>5165581
No, i looked it up and it's simply physiological. While most American pets are as fat as most Americans (about 2/3 of cats and over half of all dogs), cats have that primordial pouch that stores their chunkage while dogs generally spread their fat around the body roughly evenly so they won't look as fat as a cat might. Furthermore, people tend to post pics and videos of their heckin' chonkerino cats while exceptionally obese dogs are rarely seen in public (can't walk) and rarely videod or photographed not to mention that cats can live as obese animals while dogs tend to die of their obesity at higher rates.
So there you have it. It's not that cats are uniquely more likely to be obese or that cat owners are retarded, it's just that they can carry it while dogs cannot.
>>5165583
My dog was cat-like in that she buried her poos. She didn't just kick dirt over it with her hind legs like a dog typically does. She actively used her front paws to dig a mound of dirt onto her poo. She was thin. People sometimes commented that she looked sickly but I was assured that she was the perfect weight

my 14 years old male cat has been exclusively eating premium brand wet canned food. (RAWZ).
in all his life, he only went to the vet once to get snipped.
i recently went to the vet to finally get check up.
he's healthy. zero stone in his kidney.
feed your cats wet food, people.
my cat is very slim. he's still so strong.
the vet was trying to scold me because i never got my cat any vaccines or regular check-ups but then when i told him i feed him that wet food, he was visibly like 'oh..'.
>>
>>5165781
Watch your privilege, little man. Not everyone can afford a 100% wetfood diet for their furbaby.

i am poor as dirt. i just don't indulge coffee, energy drink, snacks etc.

I had my 4g phone from launch in 2011 until 4g was sundowned in 2021. And I've had my current phone since. I'm not poor, I just hate planned obsolescence. All I need the cunt to do is send and received messages and calls. I don't use apps. I don't game. I'm a crotchety middle aged dad. I just need my phone to be a phone.

Brother's stupid cat just went through the trash and swallowed a large piece of steak bone.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
He is a big cat but I didn't expect him to be able to open up the trash can and eat something so large.

You know cats are objectively less intelligent than dogs. I am a true cat lover and a true science lover. If you call dogs retarded then what are cats? Hyper retarded? Giga idiots? Both???
Watch your words next time you think of making a post okay? We all need to do our part for all cats and catkind.

When I was a kid my parents had a couple they were friends with, an they had a grotesquely obese wiener dog.
When he wanted a belly rub he just lifted his legs like landing gear and would blob over onto his back.
I've also seen plenty of fat labs. My grandparents had a chocolate lab called Bear who was just a big fat lump of shit who would eat anything.
>>
>>5166048
Parts of my welcome home ritual with my cat is petting him, and he immediately falls onto his side and shows his tummy, as cats do, but having had cats I know this isn't an invitation, except with my cat, he grabs my hand in his paws and puts it against his upper chest so I can scruff his fur, which then has him try to put my hand on top of his head, and then back on the best, until he gets excited and tries to bunny kick my hand, I ball up my fist (which is right under his chin) and his bunny kicks make me "punch" him in the jaw.

schizo aside how do you deal with the litterbox and random litter that the cat carries around after they finish shitting?
Going from a cat that shit outside and by the time he got back all the dirt was left outside to finding random grains of sand everywhere in an apartment has been a rather annoying change.
>>
>>5166805
I keep the litter tray in the bathroom, have a large mat under it and try to hoover once a day.

This seems to be the best solution I could manage and has cut down on ~90% of sand
>>
>>5166808
Did that. It almost feels like the little bastard is actively trying to move the dirt everywhere as protest for no longer being outside.
Currently it has mat inside the bathroom and right outside the door of it. Somehow it still ends everywhere. Short hair cat too.
>>
>>5166705
Same. I feel like I disappointed them when this happens.

I use tofu litter pellets that are quite thick, thicker than usual, and it tracks very rarely outside the litterbox, and even then then occasional pellet will remain stuck to the rug outside the litterbox. I see like 1-2 pellets a week that are on the floor, and I have maine coons

What is the best cat harness in the market? My cat was an outdoor/indoor I recently moved to the city and now live in an apt so i can’t just let him out like i used too.
>>
saw a missing cat posted to pawboost nearby. went out at 3am and ended up finding a cat that looked awfully similar but the poor picture quality didn't give me the best hope it was her.

hopefully the owner will get back to me and send me some better pictures. I sent the 10~ I took but it felt inconclusive, her most distinctive trait in the pawboost picture was missing.

Pugs have nightmares about looking like this cat. That’s why they always wake up happy.
>it could be so much worse!
>>
>>5167595
That's rough.
My old cat would always wedge himself in the small of my back at night, and the first thing I would do when I woke up was reach back and pet him while I was waking up.
After he died for the next few months I'd reach back on instinct and then get really depressed when I realized he wasn't there.
I tend to toss and turn a lot at night, but he figured out that if he wedged himself there I would stay in one spot.
I've also got a bad back, so it was like having a living breathing fuzzy squishy purring hot water bottle.

Recently got a kitten after a few months of mourning for my wife's 26 year old childhood cat passed that back in late Spring/early Summer. I didn't grow up with cats myself so it's a new experience for sure, didn't realize how fast cats grow for example since the five month old kitten is now around the size the 26 year old cat was. She's a pretty good cat, bit of a weirdo though since she really really likes to suck on blankets.

It was a young feral, possibly female would not get close. It was way too timid. I spent about 40 minutes sitting on the ground and she only got close enough for a picture for food and that was about 7 feet away. She was a beautiful tuxedo girl with pretty green eyes and a black spot on her pink nose.

I saw some humane traps in the area, I'm under the impression someone is looking out for them. In hindsight I want to avoid hindering their efforts by feeding (not something I planned on doing), just could not conclusively say it wasn't the cat I was looking for.

The original cat has been missing for about 6 months, quite a long time for an area that gets a decent amount of fox activity. Such a shame she hasn't turned up for them.
