Chonky cats (and other animals)
This is a community for posting pictures or memes involving chubby cats (also known as chonkers). Please keep in mind we do not condone pet obesity, and instead would like to help people who do have obese cats get them on a diet and help them lose weight and become healthier.

I've had so many cats and not one has ever overfed themselves. I always keep their food bowl full and even give them wet treats but they never get fat. I suppose I've been lucky. It really makes me wonder the food people are feeding cats to make them fat.
One of my cats will eat until there is no food. We cannot free feed him. So yeah I can easily see how he can become overweight.
my cat had really bad over-eating issues when he first came to live with me. He had lived in a house with dogs that would get in to the food bowls. He would eat all the food immediately, no matter how much there was. I had to do strict rationing to help him normalize again, and now he free feeds with no problems
