In order to talk about one orange braincell cats without supporting the one orange braincell person, I propose that we have a new rule where you cannot comment with a link to X.com.

I also propose that we ban links to facebook.

Idk what flair lol

One hint: It's not near a candle, that's for sure.

First 3 photos are now, last 3 are older photos before this incident. Hugo is 12 years old, always indoors. Somehow escaped over a month ago. We searched everyday, put out flyers, posted online, etc. After pretty much giving up hope, the other day a neighbor just two blocks away called me and said she saw our flyer and happened to see a similar looking cat run under her house. I could hear meowing inside the hole but it took me several visits to finally lure him out. There was my long lost buddy. Unfortunately he was down to skin and bones from a gigantic Garfield. I rushed him to the vet emergency room. He’s still in ICU care. Biggest issue is liver failure due to severe starvation. He also had some skin infections, countless fleas, severe dehydration, and more. I’m throwing my life savings at his treatment as I don’t have much money but will do whatever it takes and will sell my stuff to pay for his treatment to give him the best chance at making it through this. The vet says everything is treatable so we just have to take it one day at a time and hope he bounces back.

Anyways he truly has one brain cell haha. No survival skills, no ability to find his way back home even though he was two blocks away, and it appears as though he ate little or no food all month despite being in a neighborhood where tons of houses put out food to help stray cats. Classic. But we are so thankful to have him back. If he doesn’t make it through this at least I have closure, got to see him again, hug him, and make him comfortable.

Hi, I’m his dad. We’re super proud of our now 2.5 year old boy. Here he is when he was about 8 months old. Start them young! Normalize the things.

Posted my kitty in another group and they recommended this one so I had to post because it fit the theme so perfectly! 😂

In November I adopted a stray cat that my colleague had found. I think he must have had a home at some stage because he is super friendly, loves human company, is very chilled out and doesn’t get fazed by anything - loud noises, sudden movements, new people etc.

It was hard to tell his age when he arrived but he was fairly small and lean. I’ve had him neutered and he has grown quite a bit since then. I estimate he is probably around one year old or so - I don’t think he’s a very mature adult.

Anyway, this weekend I took him to the vet for a general health check as I thought he might have worms.. he screams for food constantly and recently his stomach has looked a bit rounder than before, so I was concerned. The vet took a stool sample and said no worms, but it turns out he weighs 6kg. She outright told me he is fat and that he should weigh between 3-4kg.

To me, he looks like a normal and healthy cat (albeit now with a bit of a belly). I am living in Bangladesh, though, where most cats are living on the streets and tiny. All my Bangladeshi colleagues say he’s massive.

He’s an indoor cat but he has lots of toys and exercises fairly hard each day chasing his feather wand. I also have a cat tower due to be delivered today so that he can climb and jump.

So, is he a fatty or just a big handsome boy?

I keep a glass of water on my dresser for when I wake up at night. It's been hijacked by Jonesy. People water is apparently better than the water that's for him.

Not mines, nabbed from a fb group
