Cat Gives Its Owners A Scare By Limping, Turns Out He's Just Chubby: 'He's Just A Big Boy!' (Viral Thread)

Listen, we worry about our cats. We do. All the time. Any tiny change in their behavior, and we're suddenly keeping a much closer eye on them. We can't help it! It's for their own good. Cats are so good at hiding it when they don't feel well that we know that it's up to us to see it before they even show it. But as much as we know that what we're doing is important… it also means that sometimes we get things wrong, and we take our cats to the vet for silly reasons. 

The person in this thread is not the first and not the last to go to the vet and have them say: "everything's fine, your cat is just fat." We know it because we ourselves have been there are well. And hey, so long as your kitty is healthy and happy, it's okay for cats to be a little chonky. A little chonky means a little spoiled, and you know just how much our furry queens and kings like that.
