When I adopted her she was 21 pounds and I had to use a small dog carrier. She's now at a healthy 13 (she's long).

Another photo of her from her chonk days:

My part maine coon absolute unit is finally accepting their diet. He was 22 pounds, down to about 19 right now. He can almost reach everywhere for grooming again and he's so much more active

Looking fancy with his portrait

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I love him! Thank you

That was a good day. I had to learn how to shave and wipe her bum (when I got her she just had dingle berries!?). Now she can get there all by herself. Your boy will get there!

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

I've never successfully shaved mine so I take him in periodically to have a professional do it. The wiping though is important he gets a bit messy ๐Ÿ˜• One day, I'm hopeful in a month or two

I've only been able to do around her bum. Have you tried blindfolding him? I learned it from the crocodile hunter when I was a kid and it seems to help with cats.

You can tell they're of quality because of the patch ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿพ

How'd you get my cat?

Zombii

She is absolutely gorgeous by the way. Zombii used to be super chonky too, but she lost quite a bit of weight. She is 15 now, and more playful than ever

Stunning eyes ๐Ÿ˜

She looks so sweet ๐Ÿฅฐ

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Don't be fooled. She'll get you 9/10 times. Her quarter rag doll will kick in and then she will get mad about it lol

Had to do a double take. Even the "Why are you looking at me" expression is similar!

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Nicely de-chonked, floofer!

How much was she at chonk weight? For science.

When I adopted her, they were like, "she's big. You'll need a large carrier." I had purchased this "extra large" cat carrier. I had checked the reviews and people were saying it was great for Maine coons and what not. I went to go get her, happy with my research, and they just looked at it and said "Um... That's not gonna work."

We ended up trading carriers. She still uses it, though now she has a ton of room in there.
