Oof, he's a bit of a chonk. They need ton get him one of those wheels and a laser pointer.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

He doesn't have the braincell currently.

That cat needs to lose some serious weight!

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Maybe the camera adds 10 pounds, which matters more when you are only 10 to begin with

"...and underestimate my weight"

My adopted orange gets himself into a similar pickle. Turns out the poor little baby has arthritis. And maybe more. Still awaiting all his blood test results.... Make him a ramp, or something. My cat trees have all sorts of added boards connecting to book cases and built in cupboards, and limit how high he has to jump It's not pretty, but I don't care. It widens his world and gives him places to retreat to in peace.

There is a ramp, or something. It just happens to be on the other side.

The problem here is clearly neurological (i.e., it's some other orange cat's turn with the neuron).

[–] Geodad@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

It's always the orange one...

This is why you have sharp claws and rabbit feet, sweetheart.

Found the unempathic, non cat owner.....

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 9 hours ago

Cats are awesome.

People who pretend their pets are their children are awful.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

calling your cat your child is weird but you do you i guess
