. You guys are why we keep this blog going and I appreciate every single one of you, despite the jagweeds who keep crying to me about how I’m glorifying animal abuse, because obvz they don’t know the whole story

Also, the cat died in 2019.

No licensed vet would ever say a morbidly obese cat is 'fine'.

The owners fed the cat into morbid obesity, that was the diet it was on.

That cat was too fat to 'work out'. At that size, it would have been in pain from the strain on its joints after walking to its food bowl.

The cat died prematurely due to this abuse, I don't even have to check the age it died to be able to tell you this.

Stop defending animal abusers.

I'm not defending anyone, don't shoot the messenger. Feel free to downvote me if that makes you feel better though.

Ok. Your recommendation to read the FAQ about the abused animal and your posting of that extract from it, seemed to imply otherwise.

Nah, just trying to provide context. It might change your mind, it might reinforce your beliefs, I don't have an agenda. Just extra content to make informed comments.
