@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social One of my work colleagues had a cat. The vet noticed that the cat was getting a bit chonky, so he said: stop feeding her and let her hunt for her dinner for a few weeks. She gained two pounds.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Protip: keep cats inside. :V

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social What a catastrophe! I'll admit my grey garfield had to be put on a diet too… he was touring the streets for extra food and getting very paunchy in the process. (10.4kg is not a healthy weight for a Russian Blue.)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Orange you say? Reminds me of another fat orange scammer, though the one I'm thinking of is neither furry nor cute. He does fancy himself an emperor, though.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social We have one of those in our neighborhood. She has a collar with her name on it, so we all know Miss Neo is faking it when she parks her plump calico body on the doorstep and tries to look like she's never seen a bite of food. Do I feed her anyway? Of course. I never refuse a calico anything.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I suspect my cat-on-diet to run a similar operation… belly never seems to shrink and even expand…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social This got a HUGE laugh from my family.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social one of our old cats came to us as a stray. Mum worked in one of the only shops in our small town, so she heard a lot of chatter and she was able to track the stray's wandering from street to street and door to door. He was always fed but moved on. So when he finally turned up at our place she knew right away it's "the stray". Might have been the reason why he decided that our house was the one to stay forever. 🤣 He still kept wandering through our neighbourhood tho, and had at least three different names 😂😂

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I swear, orange cats are incredibly dumb or incredibly smart, there's no in between

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social We have an orange cat who was coming home smelling of fresh washing, like he'd been sleeping in a washing basket full of warm clothes. You have never seen a cat look so sad as when the woman who lived next door moved and took her washing basket with her.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social she said FURious. 😁

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Orange you said?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social 🤣
