1. I'm not enjoying this. Letting a cat, or animal, get to the point where they are obese only invites medial problems

Urinary, diabetes, heart for starters. Just my opinion

2. That's exactly what I was thinking

It's not funny, these should be a warning. Which I did say in yhe comments there.

3. This is not funny. These cats are suffering carrying all that excess weight and

will end up with a much shorter lifespan than a normal weight cat. They will have respiratory, cardiac and joint problems.

An overweight cat is at a high risk of developing severe respiratory and heart problems. Excess fat puts extra pressure on the heart and lungs, causing conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, and chronic breathing difficulties. Obesity also causes inflammation, reducing lung volume and making exercise or movement difficult.
