Cats That Got De-Chonked And Lost A Ton Of Weight

Here at I Can Has Cheezburger we loooove cats. Indoor cats and outdoor cats, big cats and small cats, we love them all. But there is an inconvenient truth about cats, they're lazy hooligans and they just heckin' love to get chonky. It isn't a problem for us, as we have a healthy obsession with petting chonky cats, but sometimes their chonk levels get so high that the veterinarians request these cats get a little bit dechonked. Luckily we get to watch this journey through the internet. 

Many say the bigger the cat, the more cat to love, but there's also a lot to love once the cats get dechonked, sometimes it makes them more active or happy. Either way, these pawdorable cats are absolutely the cutest boys in the world. We wish all of these big cuties luck on their health journeys and we hope you enjoy this collection of pawdorable cats getting dechonked in the cutest way possible:

    Christmas the cat is one of the most fluffiest chonkers we've ever seen. It's majestic and gorgeous. We can only imagine the level of belly floof that there is when tis beauty rolls over. Two-handed belly rubs, that's the dream with this guy. We love this not-so-little marshmallow, and we hope it's treated like the royalty that it is.
