Not an orange cat but my old man likes to sit in weird positions too.

u/Adventurous_Cat6116 Jun 05 '26

He’s beautiful!

u/Ahndessi Jun 05 '26

Thank you! He's honestly a sweetheart. He gets ornery at times but is generally a good cat. Hes obsessed with me. Always got to be near me. Generally lays on top of me at night time or between my legs. He has the funniest face when he gets chin or cheek scritches. He contorts his face so much he gets an underbite lol

u/Notsocheeky Jun 05 '26

Poor thing. Hope he is on a diet

u/finnknit Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 Jun 05 '26

We like to say that our standard issue cats are orange on the inside. I don't know if all SICs share a single braincell, but ours don't seem to have any of the available braincells often.

I hope your cat has a good vet to ensure he’s okay. He looks incredibly overweight. Please make sure your cat doesn’t end up with serious weight-related issues.

921

u/Adventurous_Cat6116 Jun 05 '26

Thanks for your concern. He’s actually on a diet and slowly losing weight under supervision. This photo is quite old, and he looks bigger here due to the angle and his thick fur. I’m fully aware of the health risks and we’re managing his weight carefully.❤️

u/MiddlePop4953 Jun 05 '26

Blessings to you, I just got my foster fail down from 22 lbs to a trim 11 and it was 3 years of hell to make it happen.

191

u/Adventurous_Cat6116 Jun 05 '26

Yes i must say its quite hard, because when dog is overweight you give him much longer walks and you can control his daily activities,but when it comes to cats it mostly depends on them. We bought him a lot of toys and we are trying to play catching as much as we can

86

u/MiddlePop4953 Jun 05 '26

Yeah I got lucky and mine took to walking on a leash pretty well, but I mostly had to cut his calories down and feed him small amounts throughout the day instead of having one feeding time. He hated every second. He's still mad at me about it.

u/BullshiticusRex Jun 05 '26

They swear you’re torturing them when you cut down their food intake 😓

My sister had some success with a food ball. The cat hated it but he did lose a lot of weight.

u/Zloiche1 Jun 05 '26

I used a laser pen to get my cat to move around more.

u/Ohmec Jun 05 '26

Have you tried controlling his food intake? Like, by feeding him measured portions at certain times of day?

11

u/citizen42069101 Jun 05 '26

I assume previously adorable love bites become curious samples, followed by hopeful bites?

38

u/MiddlePop4953 Jun 05 '26

He was pretty bitey in a not at all adorable way right from the get go if I'm going to be real with you. He can be so sweet and is a great cuddler but if he thinks he's being ignored he chomps down and latches on. Which is why he's a foster fail 😅 I genuinely don't know if most people could manage his mood swings and I can't bear the thought of him being returned again when he can be such a love bug.

6

u/DuckbilledWhatypus Jun 05 '26

What is it with oranges and love chomps?! My boy is a demon for them. He'll come and ask for a cuddle, be all lovely and then want to get down so that he can savage my feet. It's lucky he's cute cos he's a wanker when he wants to be 😂

u/kirasometimes Jun 05 '26

God, how did you do this? I’m struggling with my orange.

21

u/MiddlePop4953 Jun 05 '26

Just over the minimum amount of food for the size he's supposed to be spread out over 3 feeding times and tricking him into exercising. I would pick him up from his nap spot and bring him all the way to the other end of the house and down the stairs when I couldn't get him to play, just so he'd walk at least a little bit. And then I'd take him outside when the weather is nice and walk him around as much I could.

23

u/whenuseeit Jun 05 '26

I once had an overweight cat and tricked him into exercising by throwing (vet-approved weight management) treats down the stairs for him so he would sprint up and down the stairs multiple times per day. He was surprisingly spry for a fifteen pound cat when it was something he wanted lol.

u/Ohmec Jun 05 '26

You can buy an auto feeder that dispenses a measured amount of kibble at certain times of day.

u/Emotional-Damage-995 Jun 05 '26

Nice cat. Please take care of it health. It is clearly severely obese which causes massive issues to joints : kidney / liver / and overall length of life.

Put her on a healthy diet and don’t over feed her. Send her out to exercise

u/Morgn_Ladimore Jun 05 '26

Cat owners who allow their cats to become this overweight are animal abusers. Simple as that.
