When talking about fat cats, orange tabby cats are a must-mention, as they are arguably the epitome of feline obesity. While orange tabby kittens are undeniably cute and adorable, they almost always grow into overweight, middle-aged men. The saying "Nine out of ten orange tabby cats are fat, and the tenth is so fat it'll weigh down the bed" perfectly describes them. And the size of these fat orange tabby cats is certainly not to be underestimated. Like the orange tabby cat in one pet owner's home, sitting in front of the TV, it takes up half the screen.
The owner has an orange and white cat, mostly orange with only a small amount of white, so it's normal for it to be chubby, since orange is their defining characteristic for being overweight. Orange cats are naturally prone to obesity, and if they have a grandmother who can raise a cat that isn't orange to the size of an orange cat, then it's difficult for the orange cat not to get fat.
The orange tabby cat in the pet owner's family met and was raised by the grandmother. Although the pet owner brought it home, it was closest to the grandmother, who was also the person in the family who loved the cat the most. The grandmother treated the cat like her grandson, regarding it as her precious darling. So when feeding the orange tabby cat, she naturally didn't hold back at all, wanting to give it all the best food.
The owner used to feed the cat regularly to control its diet, but with a doting grandmother in the house, things got out of control. Whenever the grandmother saw the cat had no food, she would give it food regardless of whether it was hungry or not. As a result, whenever the cat wanted to eat, it would go to its grandmother, who would always give it food, including not only cat food but also a constant stream of treats.
So, the orange cat often stayed by Grandma's side, being exceptionally well-behaved. Grandma, in turn, doted on the cat, feeding it whatever she had, creating a vicious cycle. As a result, under Grandma's care, the orange cat grew increasingly chubby, eventually becoming as big as small dogs when they met outside.
Because Grandma often fed it, the orange cat was very attached to her. If Grandma's attention wasn't on it, it would cause trouble. One day, Grandma was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and the orange cat, seeing that Grandma wasn't paying attention to it, became jealous. To get Grandma's attention, the orange cat sat in front of the TV. The cat was so big that it almost took up half the screen. And that was while it was sitting; if it stood up, it would probably take up more than half the screen, its chubby belly clearly visible. After Grandma asked the cat to move, it wouldn't budge and just stayed there. Grandma had no choice but to let the cat be.
It seems cats are like babies too, needing constant attention from their owners. Does your cat ever try to get your attention when it's jealous?
