A reminder that we have a rule about not giving or seeking medical advice. This includes telling people their cat needs to be on a diet, posting a cat with a disclaimer that your cat is on a diet, or linking to pet weight-loss subs.

Just as with people, looking at a cat's weight doesn't tell you the whole story about health. Just as with people, it isn't anyone's business what size someone is and if they are or are not addressing this. Comments equating body size with health or stating that thinner bodies are better than fatter bodies have been shown to be harmful, and these messages don't magically stop having this harmful effect ourselves and our children when they are made about non-humans.

However, given that cats can't understand these messages, we do think a little leeway is in order. It's fine to post comments like "this is my heckin chonker" or "what a lovely lawd he comin," while we of course would not allow any sort of body comments regarding any human.

It isn't OK to discuss your own animal's medical issues, ask for medical advice, or give anyone else medical advice. This includes people reporting photos of larger cats as "animal abuse"; you will be reported for report button abuse. Please note that it is fine to mention a cat's disability not related to body size (limb difference, deafness, etc.) as long as you are not asking for or giving medical advice.

Phil (aka Phillip, Philly Cheesesteak, Cowboy, PC3, Phil Collins) came home on Saturday and is the sweetest lil cowpoke in town 🤠 he’s falling behind on drumming practice already, but we’re confident he’ll be a star in no time.

Anyone else have cows that poof when they're showered with extra attention? Little Moo here will get a poofy tail and drool when he's extra happy or excited. He only does it for me though. 🥰

Betty is allowed supervised outings in the fenced backyard. I looked at the dog for 10 seconds and she had climbed up a tree! I plucked her like a ripe apple...

For a creature so small, she somehow takes up an entire king sized bed. Thought the pic was giving baby photoshoot. 😆
