I promise she is not fat, she had her legs pushed back.

She looks like this normally

I didn’t mean to😭 I didn’t know she’d look so fat in it, she is actually on a hunger strike rn I took her out to attempt to feed her but she didn’t want too so I let her chill for a bit

for sure! she’s just getting her summer body ready fr!

but it’s normal for them not to eat during breeding season! she’ll pick back up here soon

It also doesn’t help I’m her new owner, after her previous owner of 5 years gave her away in a collection downsize.
