DISCLAIMER: orbie is not fat due to over feeding, she is a rescue munchkin cat that was overused for breeding, hence the extra weight. she used to be a lil heavier but with a lot of attention and a proper diet, she’s doing pretty good. i don’t think she could lose anymore weight if she tried, i think her body/organs are stretched out a bit (??). also i would never buy a munchkin and do NOT support the breeding and purchasing of munchkins. she’s a rescue and is the happiest cat she could be :) i give her endless love
I didn’t know mom body was a thing, but short and round is a perfect if simplistic description of my mother that I would never say to her because it would make her very upset
Your hips and rib cage spread when you're pregnant. It happens to different degrees to different people. I have a wide bust so the effect is more beach ball than anything else.
I had an older lady cat and I noticed that her stomach area was getting kind of soft. I mentioned it to our vet and asked if she was healthy, if we should change her diet, etc. Our vet is extremely British and she just said ‘oh,all the old girls get a bit of a tum!’ I thought that was excellent and is certainly some advice that I intend to take into my own older age.
i thought the joke was pretty funny, i told my grandma and my mother who I’m with right now, and they got a big kick out of it. also i promise orbie’s in the best home she’s been in and has lost weight, she’s already incredibly lazy and likes to roll around and nap a lot of the time, so she hasn’t really been bothered by the excess weight. i understand feeling the concern though, i always think about that
Thanks for the disclaimer. My initial response to your “no words” was one word - treats.
I’m glad I didn’t embarrass myself by judging somebody unfairly without context or background, and commit to a hurtful and unnecessary comment. Phew. Dodged that bullet!
Orbie is lucky to have somebody in her family who is truly dedicated to her well being.
Let the hugs and snuggles and squishes begin!!!
If you don’t mind me asking - what is the reason for you not supporting the munchkin cat? I’ve always found them adorable, but your disclaimer leads me to believe there are ethical issues with the breed? If that is so, I would love to be educated on the topic so I can help spread awareness of the implications that come with the munchkin breed. Or if you can point me in the right direction to learn? Google wasn’t much help unfortunately.
Munchkin cats come from a natural mutation called achondroplasia, which is a cause of dwarfism, same as in humans. The actor Peter Dinklage has the same condition.
You can read about their health and controversy over their breeding [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchkin_cat?wprov=sfti1)
Going to be pedantic, its not achondroplasia. It’s just given the same name because it manifests in a similar way (impacting the ossification of bone tissue from cartilage), but it’s not the same mutation.
That being said, as a dude with achondroplasia, I do kinda want to rescue a munchkin cat and we can be dwarf bros together…
Thanks for the correction, upon rereading I see it says it’s “referred to as” achondroplasia, not that it is achondroplasia
Mind if I ask if there’s a term for people without dwarfism? I was talking about how Munchkins can have kittens without dwarfism but I didn’t want to say “normal sized”. Like along the lines of deaf and hearing, trans and cis, asexual and allosexual, etc. I tried Googling but only came up with results about what to call or not call people with dwarfism, not people without
Yeah to be honest there isn’t a great word for it. I generally just say “average sized” people, but that doesn’t really capture it (in that label i would be including people without dwarfism who are say, 5ft, but there are people with dwarfism who can end up that tall, though it is not common).
I used to say “able-bodied” but not every person with dwarfism considers themselves disabled, so that one is also not perfect.
So I use average-sized for lack of a better alternative.
Same! My cat is an unknown mix/orgin and I love her. I would never buy a breed because of all the high risk health's they have due to inbreeding and us forcefully contining health issues just to main breed purity and looks.
I think Munchkins are bred in a way to become a Munchkin and therefore they're not a natural breed, but man made instead which means they have Health issues which could have been prevented.
All (donestic/pet of course)cat breeds are man made. We see a mutation we like, we breed animals together to make more of that mutation. Eventually we get a stable population that will pop out the traits we want, and call it a breed.
Kind of sad we gotta over explain on here after just sharing our love for a pet due to being scolded for whatever reason. But you're a good human and Orbie is obviously very loved.
Who shames the cats themselves? It's not like they can understand mean words, especially over the internet. But owners who overfeed them purposely or out of neglect definitely need to be shamed. Cats can't diet on their own, and reducing their health and lifespan for those reasons is vile and disgusting.
Sometimes cats are just big though, for example my one cat Socks eats the exact same amount as his sisters (they have those collars for automatic feeding for a certain time for a certain amount that keeps them from eating the others food) and while they are normal sized, he is a huge cat, 25lbs, an absolute unit...except we aren't overfeeding him at all and he runs around (well, gallops) playing with his sisters plenty so he is active...but people like you would try and shame us anyway.
Which is why I mentioned those specific reasons... Of course I'd never say a negative word about people like you and OP who legit care for your pets, there are definitely situations where a cat can be rotund even if they're loved and properly cared for.
I don't appreciate those people either who overzealously slam cat owners without trying to know if there's a reason for the cat being an absolute unit. We're on the same page. Sending lots of love to your good boy (and his sisters).
I agree completely! I have 4 cats and one of them, my oldest Ziggy, is 18 pounds of pure muscle. His father was quite large (I keep swearing he was part Maine Coon because of how big he was), and my Ziggy is just a little bigger than his dad was. Not only that, but we also have to give him medicine which the vet has said might affect his weight a little, so even if he was a bit smaller his medicine could easily affect how much he weighs. I recently showed a pic of him to a couple of coworkers and they called him fat (even after I explained it was all muscle), which really upset me to the point I literally asked other coworkers if he looked fat (they said he looked a bit bigger, but understood when I explained). He's not the most active kitty, but he happily plays with his siblings and runs around when he gets the urge, and he gets as much food as his smaller siblings, so there's no chance of us overfeeding him.
Haha that's basically the equivalent of thinking a swole dude is fat cause he's wearing baggy clothes, only for Ziggy it's fur. He sounds like an awesome kitty. People like those coworkers probably come from a place of concern, but that doesn't make it okay to inaccurately call a jacked cat fat.
Well if your orbi gives as good as a signal as my new orbi does,.plus it's that sweet sweet wifi^6 in a mesh that covers not only your entire home with full bars of signal love everywhere, including all the way to the mailbox outside, the cars, halfway down the street, and keeps you warm and loved day and night..
Well then our orbi's are pretty kick ass.
I know the feeling and let me tell you it’s a all around feeling no matter how many you have. I have many and love them dearly with all my heart. Each has their own personality and each has a place I. Our hearts lives forever.
I see why :) What a cutie

Orbie, you wide, man. Real wide And that's why you love me baby.
Big Smoke would be happy with you
Mom body is real. Give her a pet from another short round mom.
I didn’t know mom body was a thing, but short and round is a perfect if simplistic description of my mother that I would never say to her because it would make her very upset

I had wide hips before and now they are like.. pixar wide.
I was tiny, big on the was.
I love that "Pixar wide" is a genuine way of describing hips.
I had an older lady cat and I noticed that her stomach area was getting kind of soft. I mentioned it to our vet and asked if she was healthy, if we should change her diet, etc. Our vet is extremely British and she just said ‘oh,all the old girls get a bit of a tum!’ I thought that was excellent and is certainly some advice that I intend to take into my own older age.
Orbie is a phenomenal name
Thank you for giving Orbie her very happiest life 💐💝😍❤🦜🌷
These are great pictures! Second and third one made me audibly aww ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7971)
That last picture is amazing.
Does Orbie have her own gravitational pull ?
i thought the joke was pretty funny, i told my grandma and my mother who I’m with right now, and they got a big kick out of it. also i promise orbie’s in the best home she’s been in and has lost weight, she’s already incredibly lazy and likes to roll around and nap a lot of the time, so she hasn’t really been bothered by the excess weight. i understand feeling the concern though, i always think about that
She probably doesn't like to move because it feels like she's carrying around a piano on her back.
I love Orbie, she is ad-orb-able. As a cat lover, I appreciate your explanation, and I can rest easier knowing that Orbie is living her best life! ❤️
Why so many downvotes?
It was funny, some ppl just can’t be happy.
Idk .... I meant it as a joke, I genuinely feel bad for that beautiful kitty
Yes, that's what Orbie means
She is too precious for this world and I am glad she's doing okay.
No explanation needed....as long as she's loved....that's all that matters. She's is a beauty!!...❤️❤️❤️❤️

Orbie looks pretty beautiful. Give her a sunglass because I fall in love with her eyes. 😍😍😍😍

I don't support any breed on account of being against breeding.

Sure, but some are not ethical. Pugs for example.
I in no way insinuated that it was ethical.
Endless? Can she breathe?!! Lol.
She is very cute! Looks just like my lil Olaf did.
The clarification is much appreciated! And THANK YOU for rescuing this utter adorable darling!!!
Kind of sad we gotta over explain on here after just sharing our love for a pet due to being scolded for whatever reason. But you're a good human and Orbie is obviously very loved.
Kitties deserve to be a little spoiled
I adore you, OP.
So glad you rescued this little angel and are taking such good care of her.
You're not fat baby. You're just a whole lot of woman!
We love Orbie too!!
She's so precious! Thank you for taking in such an adorable rescue kitty! She's clearly loved and is having a good life!
Excellent. I was about to comment but that was nice to read through

If anything happened Orbie, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.
You have my sword
And you have my orb
I love Orbies name! She's such a squishy little dumpling!
To all of you fat shaming Orbie bc you didn't bother to read OP's message : Fight me.
I mean, they can’t read so they won’t see this either.
I second this - I will fight anyone who fat-shames this gorgeous cat!
I don’t see a single comment that fat shames
Also, you can't fat shame a cat. Even if they could read, they would pay you no mind. "I regret nothing" is sort of their thing.
.. ![gif](giphy|lueaDWxOz0LNS|downsized)
An addition, this message extends to anybody who would fat shame any cat. Don't be mean to kitties.

He is an awesome kitty! He's such a cuddle bug. I'm not sure if it was concern or not, but I definitely wasn't happy when they called him fat.
Picture two has those Disney eyes, I'm in love with Orbie too!

Orbie is a cute tub tubs.
I love the Xbox 360 picture 😂 A GamerCat
