Although pets that are big chonkers sure are cute, we should also admit that it’s not healthy for them.

Yes, they look totally adorable, but you know deep down that the extra weight they’re carrying means they’re not living their best lives. It mostly likely causes them health problems, slows them down, and it’s just a bad idea overall.

That’s why it’s important that we help our cats lose that weight so they can run, play, and, of course, nap while also being lean and healthy.

Let’s meet these former chonkers and see some before and after pics!

1. A great transformation.

Way to go!

4. Lean and in charge.

Instead of just “large”.

From almost 20 lbs to 14 lbs. He’s a larger cat than normal but now he’s a lean, large cat.

6. The diet worked!

Lost half his weight.

Adopted this cute and (very) overweight kitty a few years ago, put him on a diet and now he’s less than half the weight of when I first got him!

11. Went down a few sizes.

And that’s a good thing!

Mister Weez was always my big chonk. After a year of diet and exercise, he’s now my small/medium chonk.
