As cat owners, we try our very best to keep an eye on our felines' health. It's not always obvious that something might be wrong. Cats are like babies that way - they can't tell us that something hurts. So, we make sure, and when we suspect literally anything, we go to the vet. Better safe than sorry, right? Well, that's what this person did. They saw that their kitten, for some reason, was getting more and more… "bulbous", so to the vet they went, and lo and behold… "Cheesecake Is Just Fat".
But hey, there's nothing wrong with being a little chonky cat. Sometimes, that's just how cats are. But we know that Cheesecake is still just a kitten. There's a long time for things to get either better or worse. But even if they do get worse… it's never too late to make a change and a big one at that. Just looks at this 18-year-old mega-chonker senior cat starting a life-changing de-chonking journey and this amazing cat who is now half the size it used to be.
Honestly, we would have done the same thing - i.e. going to the vet. It's definitely better to go than not to if you're worried about something. We're happy to know that Cheesecake is just a little fat. And we're even happier to know that this adorable kitty is in the hands of someone who is clearly going to be an amazing owner.
And yup, chonky as she may be, she is absolutely adorable. Even more so for being chonky, if we're completely honest. We are not surprised in the slightest that she went viral on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter, and those are just the platforms that we've seen.
