The internet loves cats, this we all know. So when a massively jacked feline known as ‘buff cat’ got a Twitter account and started dominating everyone’s screens, the reaction was predictably hysterical.
Buff cat was first noticed on the streets of Montreal, Canada by a feline fan. His fan base has steadily grown to the point that his official Twitter page now has over 17k followers, and has spawned a whole load of hilarious memes. While some people are concerned that buff daddy might have some serious health issues going on, others have speculated that he may have a rare genetic disorder that causes some animals, usually cattle, to become ‘double muscled.’
Either way, we hope he’s gonna be OK and can be found again. Latest news is that the anonymous woman behind the Twitter account will go out searching for old buffy again today, fingers crossed he comes out to play! Scroll down to check him out below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

People could’t resist Photoshopping buff cat into some scenes
The comments about the buff cat just wouldn’t stop
He has a condition called double muscling I read. It doesn't affect him too much, just causes him to look ripped!

Not funny. Not cute. Everything is not meant for our enjoyment. Someone please see if this fella needs some medical help.
A glandular problem resulting in overproduction of Myostatin can cause this condition. There's nothing you can do about it. It literally results in the development of twice as much muscle-mass as normal. It's a mutation that can be found in cats, cattle, and even humans.

That....is not natural. And, BP, we've talked about your over-use of the word "hysterical". I know we have. This....was not hysterical.
The cat actually looks quite healthy besides the big muscles. Also he seems well looked after and I would say he/she has been diagnosed with the double muscle mass problem that you not only get in cats but humans and other types of animals as well.

Damn, if I had seen that in the street, I would have 'cat'called her. Those are some curves!
I know I have see other animals with this condition and if it's the same one I've read about it doesn't necessarily hurt the animal it does have a negative effect on their reproduction but it's not like painful at least not from my understanding
it;s a good thing it had a negative effect on reproduction - imagine a few million cats like this one -- cute as it maybe

Oh good lord, people are so sensitive. . .That was perhaps a bit off color, but it was funny, lol. Mainly because that pussy would pound the face that said it. XD

Oh good. Someone made a Twitter account for a cat. Isn't social media wonderful?
Aw, I think he is still lovely and he has beautiful fur. Shiny and with pretty markings. It would be wonderful if he was found a good home and got lots of love. As all stray animals deserve. Thank you to the commenters who explained his condition, it is so good to know he isn't in pain.
So where can we find someone to care for it and donate something to have this cat treated? It's a treatable glandular disorder possibly. One of our cats had similar issues.
If you look him up it appears he has a home and has been to the vet. It's called double muscling. It's not necessarily harmful and I don't think it can be treated. From the looks of it he's well taken care of and healthy. :)

God that poor cat! It looks sick and photoshopped. Why would people make jokes about it?
it's not. it has double-muscling and has been checked and cleared by vets

No, definitely muscular, look at how she walks. And look up "growth differentiation factor 8" which is the genetic mutation responsible for her being ripped.

Well, how about you look at the comments above? This isn’t fake. It’s called double-muscling. You said not to convince you, but does the upper part look fake? Nope. (Bleh that felt like writing a paragraph >.<)

*face palm* Ok, it’s called DOUBLE-MUSCLING. Please read the comments above. They let me know (thank you comments above).

You missed the point. This cat suffers from "growth differentiation factor 8" genetic mutation, responsible for double-muscling. It doesn't have much in the way of negative side-effects, other than making animals look like the incredible hulk.
