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.

Because this community was one of animal abuse and shouldn't exist/should be banned.
So what if they provide "helpful links" to help the obese animals. It's still glorifying them for shitty internet points.
A lot of fat people seem to be happy. I assume the same for fat pets.
People can choose how much they eat. Pets can't decide for themselves and will always eat if there is food in their bowl. For people, a lot of the times it's an addiction and will definitely lead to health issues, so even in that case it's something to worry about. Food brands occasionally need to present goals in order to reduce sugar, salt and fat in their products. Don't get fooled by appearance, pets need to be taken care of and the same goes for people.
At least in my experience, this isn't true for all pets. I ever only had one dog that ate all the food in her bowl no matter what. All the dogs and cats I've had besides that one, including the 2 dogs and cat I have now will eat until they're full, regardless if the bowl is empty, and then come back to it later.
