Meatball is my 2-year-old, 24-pound <strong>Maine Coon<\/strong> who moves through life like a confident wrecking ball, and then there\u2019s Tarkus, my 12-year-old senior orange boy who is skinny, independent, and mostly just tolerates the existence of the other cats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tarkus does not play. At least not with others. He\u2019ll do his own thing, have his own little moment, and that\u2019s it. So the idea of him willingly engaging in anything resembling group activity already feels suspicious. That&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">TikTok user @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@brennencarr342\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:brennencarr342;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;brennencarr342&quot;}\" class=\"link \">brennencarr342<\/a> shared a clip of two extremely large <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/orange-cats-reaction-to-being-called-handsome\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Orange Cats;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Orange Cats&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Orange Cats<\/a> 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\u2026 mass meeting mass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And somehow that makes it better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/orange-cat-bearded-dragon-chaotic-besties\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Orange Cat and Bearded Dragon Are the Most Chaotic Besties;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Related&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Related: Orange Cat and Bearded Dragon Are the Most Chaotic Besties<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">People in the comments were absolutely losing it over the sheer amount of orange happening at once. One person called them \u201ctwo cheese puffs at battle,\u201d which is honestly perfect. Another wrote, \u201cThis is the laziest fight ever,\u201d and yes, there is zero urgency here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Others leaned into the size of the situation, like, \u201c2 tons of fun over there,\u201d and \u201cWhat in the Squishmallow is going on over there?\u201d which feels deeply accurate. These kitties do look like Squishmallows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then there was, \u201cTwo Dorito Double Stuffed Nacho Bel Grandes fighting in the living room. I\u2019m putting all my money on the orange one,\u201d which is chaos and also somehow makes sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And of course, \u201cI think they need a wrestling ring, or sumo wrestler ring,\u201d which honestly feels like the next logical step.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">How To Tell If Your Cat Has a Weight Problem<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"An obese gray cat lying on a wooden floor.Image Via&amp;colon; OlegDoroshin&amp;sol;Shutterstock\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/3KRgneWOCO7EBEOx180dyg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/parade_pets_articles_328\/c0d3bf4325581bae70a5e46343bf1534\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>An obese gray cat lying on a wooden floor.Image Via&amp;colon; OlegDoroshin&amp;sol;Shutterstock<\/p>\n<p><span>(Image Via&amp;colon; OlegDoroshin&amp;sol;Shutterstock)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/nutrition\/evr_multi_is_my_cat_fat_overweight\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:feeling along their sides;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;feeling along their sides&quot;}\" class=\"link \">feeling along their sides<\/a>. You should be able to feel their ribs without pressing too hard, even if you cannot see them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">From above, most cats should have a <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/body-condition-score-in-cats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:slight waistline behind their ribs;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;slight waistline behind their ribs&quot;}\" class=\"link \">slight waistline behind their ribs<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you are ever unsure, a quick check-in with your vet can help you figure out what is healthy for your specific cat.
