50 Chonky Cats That Underwent Incredible Transformations To Become Healthier Kitties
The internet has developed a host of words to describe animals that are perhaps a little larger than they should be. Chonker, choncky, thicc, and absolute units are all phrases one might hear when seeing a pet that is particularly well-fed.
It doesn’t take a genius to understand that, despite the cuteness, pets shouldn’t really be overweight. So here is a collection of before and after pics of cats whose owners did their best to help them lose weight. Get comfy as you scroll through and be sure to upvote your favorite examples and comment your thoughts below.

Before someone doubts - this is the same cat XD Siamese (and their close breed derivatives such as the Tonkinese) can change fur colors in different climates/amounts of sun exposure. They will get darker overall in colder weather.

I had to leave my cat with my parents when I moved out of state for work. When I came back for a visit, she was doubled in size! My dad was feeding her a whole can of wet food every night. Unfortunately I was unable to take her back at the time. Over time, she ended up becoming my parents cat. (I did move back to the state and got a house, but the cat was too attached to where she grew up. I didn't want to stress her out). She remained chonky for a lot of years but still had zoomies every day. As she got older, she lost weight. She passed away a week ago. I'm not sure how old she was as we initially found her as a stray on the street, but she seemed to be pretty old. I hope she had a happy life with us. I miss her.

Bouche has lost weight that she didn't need to. Audi is like a Clydesdale, and has to glom anything Bouche has or does. She'd just walk away. Since they've been fixed, Bouche is back to being at my side most of the time, and she's not letting Audi walk all over her. For his part, Audi is treating her like a cat rather than like a toy. He's sniffing noses with her, and lying down nicely with her. He'll even take turns sometimes. Bouche is grooming him, which asserts her dominance. I think she's gained back about a pound. Her collar isn't as loose as it was.
