Dear r/chonkers

Overfeeding your cat is B A D.


If you browse r/chonkers, that doesn’t mean you’re an abusive monster. If you actually post on r/chonkers however, you’re still most likely not an abusive monster, but there are things you may be overlooking. First of all, overfeeding your cat IS animal abuse. It doesn’t matter what your balance is, you NEED to make enough dough to get your cat on a healthy diet, and I don’t mean cookie dough. If you can’t get your cat healthy cat food, give her away to someone you can trust to feed her properly. Dechonkifying your cat does not mean to starve them to near-death. If they’re given a healthier diet, they’ll eventually return to normal. If your cat has a health issue though, then I’m sorry to hear that, but this leads into my second point, that being how pets are treated on the subreddit. If your cat has a health issue, DO NOT ACT LIKE IT’S A FUNNY LITTLE PERK ON THE INTERNET. r/chonkers has created this idea that overweight cats are happy the way they are. WRONG! Although they may not care for now, they would be MUCH happier as a slim cat who can run and jump as much as they’d like. If your cat has a permanent health issue, the least you can do is not post about it online & act like your cat is just lazy. Now that I got the health stuff out of the way, it’s time for my final point, and that’s the community itself. Again, most r/chonkers users are pretty innocent, but at the same time, if I posted a comment like this on r/chonkers, nobody would have read this far. By the time I stated that overfeeding your cat is animal abuse, they would have already begun typing about how the people on r/chonkers are trying their best to keep their cat healthy, and that I’m only writing this for attention. It’s like the minds of the people on this subreddit are in some alternate dimension, where everything is all sunshine & rainbows. They believe that just because some automod reminds people to keep their cat healthy on every post, people who have different beliefs than them are all narcissistic SJWs who never feed their cats. It’s not just the viewers though, if you comment about animal abuse on even a single post, the mods will permanently ban you. If these people think that you’re a psychopath for thinking that not providing your cat with a healthy diet and/or health care is animal abuse, then it should be okay for us to think the same about them. Even if we do though, they’re probably never going to listen, and that’s the scariest thing about this subreddit. I have never seen a subreddit that is this entitled and removed from others’ beliefs. If we don’t do anything about this, these people on this subreddit are gonna continue to merit merit these health issues and do relatively nothing to properly fix this. However, if we could make gay marriage legal in the US, then I’m sure we can find a way to end the glorification of obese cats. I can’t do much else other than write this, but if we stick together, I’m sure we can finally get the people of r/chonkers to realise their mistakes. I thank you dearly for taking time out of your day to read this.
