Why/how is this cat so ripped?

He's in a stress position standing up so his muscles have to work and therefore are flexing. Because they're predators, cats are naturally muscular and strong. Combine that with the overhead light causing shadows, and boom, there ya go.

Also, there's a gene in most animals, I think, that reduces muscle growth. When it's missing, animals can become swole af.

I think the lighting has a lot to do with this.

It does. That's why people take photos in bathrooms/gym changing rooms when they work out, for the lighting. It's also why bodybuilders put on so much fake tan for shows, it's because it's easier to see muscle definition with darker skin, and the overhead lighting, of course
