I have two Orange Cats, and they could not be more different. Meatball is my 2-year-old, 24-pound Maine Coon who moves through life like a confident wrecking ball, and then there’s Tarkus, my 12-year-old senior orange boy who is skinny, independent, and mostly just tolerates the existence of the other cats.

Tarkus does not play. At least not with others. He’ll do his own thing, have his own little moment, and that’s it. So the idea of him willingly engaging in anything resembling group activity already feels suspicious. That’s why seeing the two kitties below just getting it on like Donkey Kong brings me so much joy. Cats playing is the absolute best. Two giant orange boys going at it is even better.

TikTok user @brennencarr342 shared a clip of two extremely large Orange Cats slowly sumo wrestling each other into what can only be described as a pile of floof. It is not fast. It is not graceful. It is just… mass meeting mass.

And somehow that makes it better.

People in the comments were absolutely losing it over the sheer amount of orange happening at once. One person called them “two cheese puffs at battle,” which is honestly perfect. Another wrote, “This is the laziest fight ever,” and yes, there is zero urgency here.

Others leaned into the size of the situation, like, “2 tons of fun over there,” and “What in the Squishmallow is going on over there?” which feels deeply accurate. These kitties do look like Squishmallows.

Then there was, “Two Dorito Double Stuffed Nacho Bel Grandes fighting in the living room. I’m putting all my money on the orange one,” which is chaos and also somehow makes sense.

And of course, “I think they need a wrestling ring, or sumo wrestler ring,” which honestly feels like the next logical step.

How To Tell If Your Cat Has a Weight Problem

First of all, I would never fat-shame a cat. Big cats are the best. More to love, more to cuddle, more presence. Truly, no notes.

That said, there is a difference between a naturally large kitty and a cat carrying extra weight that could affect their health. One of the easiest ways to check is by feeling along their sides. You should be able to feel their ribs without pressing too hard, even if you cannot see them.

From above, most cats should have a slight waistline behind their ribs. From the side, their belly should not hang excessively low or swing when they walk. Changes in activity level, grooming habits, or difficulty jumping can also be signs that weight is impacting them.

If you are ever unsure, a quick check-in with your vet can help you figure out what is healthy for your specific cat. And in the meantime, regular play, portion control, and interactive toys can help keep them active without taking away their joy.
