His owners walked in and said "I hope you have a forklift for him." And they also wanted him fat shamed.

Chronically online much? Go touch grass, it’s a fat cat not a person.

umm.....this HAS to be sarcasm, there is no way youre being serious, this cat is morbidly obese and needs to be put on a diet instantly. looks like someone is got offended cuase theyre a whale and need to go for a jog asap 🤣🤣

i honestly thought this comment was satire at first lmao

What’s hilarious, Frances, is that if she hadn’t weighed the cat, discussed it’s seemingly unhealthy size and even posted her weight holding Brian etc…there’d be someone…maybe even YOU…that would complain, or suggest it. I do not understand the constant need to criticize content creators for THEIR content. No need to announce your departure if you don’t like a viewpoint or video. It’s odd.

that boi thicc

What a load of crap

He’s so cute and chunky 😂

Oh my I remember what you're referring to!!

@@melaniekendall4903 Yeah, it's pretty crappy you can't take a joke.

Everyone in a horror movie:

He barely has a shot at rolling away, but he's too lazy to do even that.

That is the saddest thing. He can’t be a cat.

@@honeybadger1847 My cat is a perfectly healthy weight and just stands and sulks/cries if I ever have to wash her just as Brian does and she is perfectly capable of escaping shes just really fucking lazy and dramatic.

Haha so true he knows he ain’t goin nowhere

Yes. He's the Oscar Wilde of cats.🧐

Yes. It's less meowing, more him saying "Meow!"

True.

bro speaks english

Yeah, I was expecting him to say "Like literally meow, woman!" 😁

Yes, it's like he knows how it's spelled!😂

I noticed that too. He sounded like an AI imitating a cat.

The bigger speakers always produce a better sound.

​@@hdofuwoofer broke, now it's a meower

@@hdofu😂😂😂

"Brian" - such a cute name for cat!

He borders between dayum and oh lawd he comin

​@@piotrmadrachowski2626 He's not fat, he's fluffy.

His a cat meowtin

He's .sooo chunky! Love it!

he's about that bamboozle life. Catch a mouse? Sike! He's gonna catch all the naps and treats.

In chinese panda is literally "bear cat" and by the look of him, seems apt lol

Kung Fu Kitty

🐼🐈‍⬛🤣

I would love if they named a panda Brian. Maybe Brian-Brian like Ling-Ling?

Actually, I knew a cat that resembled that remark. He just looked so round tho I think he wasn't nearly that heavy. Still, I called him a bowling ball. He was surprisingly agile and adept at grooming himself. It was quite impressive.

Me too 😂😂

Relatable, tbh

I resemble that remark. lol

🤣😂🤣

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

💀💀💀💀💀

*ham hocks😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

Lol "coconut fists!"

The Bert Kreischer of cats. The Machine!

Big boned! Hopefully his owners have him on a diet though. I have a 16lb cat who is also big boned (even as a little kitten drinking from mommy's teet you could tell he was going to be a big boi) and he's so fat I cannot imagine a cat being nearly twice his size! Kitty needs a diet stat. Heck, MY cat needs a diet too.

@@koolaidman6251Brian is the cat equivalent of a Saint Bernard dog 😂 since the moment he walked in the door you can tell he has a bigger frame than your average cat. I think his only concern is his fat stomach from hoarding all the kibbles at home. Other than that, he seems like a pretty happy lad if you ask me.

Ya I noticed that too

I love the blubbery Brian but I'd go bankrupt feeding him.

He's so cute! I love him! 🐱❤️ But I wouldn't have named him Brian.

I do tooooooo!😫

Me, too, Brian. Me, too. 😂

Nearly choked on my drink hearing that

Poor baby

😂😂😂

“he’s wide enough to be someone’s foot stool” she’s straight up roasting through the whole length, poor baby

Sounds bri'ish 😅

@@justscrolling1323he looks bri’ish

Sounded to me like "no", like everytime Vanessa said "you are fine!" he answered "No!!" :D

The Keefness could make a tuneful song from him.

He sounds like a post-graduate cat who never got to finish his masters degree.

he is 3-4 times heavier then a normal cat!

🤣

*o lawd he comin*

😂

My cat loves to loaf up when I brush him. He loves it so much that sometimes he refuses to get up until I brush him more 😂

Then he likes being brushed

Bread loaf modeeee 🍞🍞🍞😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

He’s lying there like he just ran a marathon

​@@eldritchcupcakes3195Stand in your shower and scream like you're being murdered for an hour. You'd be tired too

maybe if he'd gotten less help he wouldn't look like that unfortunately it really sounds like "help" lmao

So big he needed a Peopel name

I love cats with human names 😂 mine are named Mike and Phil. My family constantly gets mixed up with our cat Mike and my boss named Mike haha

I can't unhear the "help" now

Its because his owner on here is showing that he is lazy in all aspects related to his pets.

I love that

He was totally one of those fat British aristocrats from Victorian times in a past life.

I guess you could call him an aristocat.

"This is DEMOCRACY. MANIFEST."

Why his name Brian so fitting? 😂😂

The transition was amazing

If anything unhappier.

😂😂

🤣

My two cats were visibly concerned :D

sometimes I don't watch the cat videos if my dog is around because she gets so scared the maybe we have a cat inside the house 😂

@@redwitch12my cat couldn’t care less.

They obviously aren’t. A vet would have intervened 15 pounds ago. I’m shocked every comment but one is afraid to address the elephant in the room. That cat is sick, in pain, and headed for an early death. The owners are the only ones who can prevent it.

They aren't. The cat is dying

​@@giabarrone7422 there's a lot of feeder on internet unfortunally and for whatever reason, people think it's cute to make animals suffer from overfeeding

I'm surprised I had to scroll down to find a comment about this (and relieved I'm not the only one who mentioned it). 15 pounds is about average for most cats (with some breeds weighing a little less, and others, like the Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat, weighing a bit more...though none of it is due to fat). To be double that amount...that's just sad.

@@giabarrone7422 oh i did. I think its abuse. Unkind. Poor boy.

And largish bunnies

Not horses tho

@@everythingeverything6505 The equigroomer was designed for horses. Hence the name having "equi" in it.

@everythingeverything6505 It is good for the mini horses I work with

And dogs. And cats.

possums?! goddamn is your cat the terminator

Goddam

Wouldn't condone a cat catching a helpful species, as in opossum , but no clue as to possums

@@scotttait2197 possum, opossum, same thing. It's a question of if you write the silent "o" or not. I wasn't alive until he was old, so I don't know the details, but I don't think the possum-catching was frequent.

yes true, depends on breed and lifestyle(and cat habits) Quite easy for a cat to get to 20-30lbs if a big breed and active,Some stay in hunting mode all their lives. The flipside of that is you also get cat with bulimia.any number of reasons why..usually they self regulate food, but some occasionally have a psychitric trait that tells them their next meal won't be for another 6 months, wolf the lot down and puke about 10 minutes later.more common in indoor cats than outdoors ones ,the hunting instinct is still there,but with indoors the opportunity to use it is restricted.

He would make the perfect TV trope passive-aggressive guilt trip parent. He is like, "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed..."

He probably doesn't know the definition of the word. :D

He too fat to do anything! 😂

I mean. I’m chubby so I get it. If there’s something I can’t do about my situation, I kinda just cry into the void. XD

Poor big baby surrendered to his fate, but let Vanessa know he disagreed vehmenently with the grooming with all the meows he had in him!

She has lifted a lot of animals 😁😁

Not 30.1, not 29.9, 30.0, wow.

Can we talk about how I guessed her weight at 100.8lbs?

what do you want to talk about? You've said it all.

@@Pappy7064 😆

His personal dignity was under heavy assault there.

@@kreese-yi2nb she really doesn’t hold back on the fat shaming of these animals. It’s hilarious. 😂

Ya, he's a huge cat. I mean, everyone is saying he's fat, and he is, but look at the size of his HEAD! He's just a large cat.

My brothers neighbor in Alaska had a tiger stripe cat that weighed upwards of 23 pounds. I have a picture of me holding him and he was heavy. Enormous would be a good description. He also had thumbs and so that was his name. He was no sloucher and that's a fact lol. Very docile and beautiful.

@@batacumba I bet the owners usually don't get the obvious suggestion anyway.

My cat did too!!

He was like “my brethren! I must be saved! I am being abused by a servant! Please help!” 😂

My dog just started barking when he heard the meows 😂

My cat was beside me and as soon as he heard Brian he ran to his safe space on the bathroom rug

My cat looked at me and walked off when hearing his meowing 😂😂

"They are now surrounding me and trying to understand-" That is just terrifying without context.

The visualization of that is hysterical! I just cracked up!😂 The flip side of that is that I felt very sad for the kitties knowing that they didn't understand what a cell phone is all about.😢

I have to use headphones to watch the cat ones… our sensitive kitty gets distressed otherwise. Neither cats gives a hoot about the dogs.

my oldest cat started being like that

My pippin came running to me too

Stealing the personality from his siblings' food dish!

Hefty chonk

🤣🤣🤣👌

He is massively obese and it is NOT ok!! This is straight up ab*se!!

xD@@okankyoto

I can't believe anyone would let their cat get that big! I wonder if he has a thyroid problem.

@@sufyb6432 it's definitely not healthy. Someone I work for has a timed feeder that dispenses c amount of food at x amount of intervals during the day and their cat is still very overweight.

@@TheFlyingmartini Then they dispense topo much.

It's unfortunate that the shelter took the cat instead of working with the owner to help them take care of their cat properly

@@2percentright At that point the owners shouldn't get any animal ever again. This is at best willful ignorance. At least these people gave the cat away to save it.

Yes. "Fat shaming" never gets through to the furries, it is strictly to entertain viewers.

That’s what I thought too!!

He understands the assignment

@@achevres - Great minds...😏😄

@@k80bhappypaddler 😄

Because it's not a meow, but a distressed call like yawl, nothing funny as this cat is clearly scared when making these sounds.

Woah, awesome!

The thing is, 33lbs is not unbelievably large for a Maine Coon mix. They're just huge in general. 15lbs might actually be low-ish, if he takes more after his Maine Coon side as opposed to his Ragdoll side.

We had a Maine Coon that weighed 21 pounds, he wasn't fat at all, just BIG. People would be amazed at how huge he was.

So he was the secret saviour

Those cats just are big

My neighbors had to get one of those because their older cat (who is a unit, but not OH LAWD HE COMIN like Brian here) keeps eating the kitten food that's for his little brother. It works, but the big one is NOT pleased, lol.

I didn't know that was a thing - what a great idea!

​@@mandar66😅

I know somebody with 4 cats who used them to great effect, one bully/vacuums two on prescription diets and one lone normal cat

not the most affordable option. they could simply just separate everyone during feeding time.

I wonder if his human parents noticed his increasing weight before he got to this size?

My thoughts exactly. It all rests on the owner. All 30 pounds, poor Brian

@@elisemiller13 I suspect that when separated from food he cries so convincingly that his owners surrender.

My friend had to do this with her cats, and if for whatever reason you couldn't put one in a separate room you had to basically guard the other cat's food bowl while he leisurely ate his food so his chubby brother wouldn't steal it

I get what you are saying for sure, but my cat (thin) could be convincingly starving, but she’d still only eat a couple mouthfuls before going away to do other cat things. She’d randomly spread that meal over a good half day or more. Maybe the sibling is similar? I’d put the sibling’s food in a higher spot, so that the overweight cat couldn’t get to it, but it’s accessible any time for cat sibling.

​@@zamnelnaExactly my thoughts. That cat aint climbing much of anything, and if he does, well, then he's at least getting exercise.

Love my Brian

He had no other option lol. Dude wasn't able to do anything with that weight. Adorable tho

​@@Drifttheorygarage I love him to

​@Drifttheorygarage stop overfeeding your cat. You're killing him slowly

@@FlyinggMushroom good.

Lmao and then the happy hoodie what is that 😂 he is like `^`

Schoolbook meow!

He wants to be absolutely clear about this No

I've not heard that, but I love it now!

Give him a slow feeder, too. That way, he's more focused on fishing what food he can out of his portion while his siblings take their time eating, and not trying to escape and damaging doors or floors I think Jackson Galaxy tends to recommend 30 minutes of playtime to overweight or hyperactive cats, which is also a great bonding experience for human and cat

this ^ i had to do exactly this. i have a 15 pounder and a 7 pounder. he will steal her food. every time they're unsupervised. they have to eat separately. he's not quite this round, but he's just an animal. you gotta outsmart them to save them from themselves.

I feel like it might be more effective just to separate Brian from the others for a while. I don't know how many cats his owners have, but I have thirteen cats and scheduled feeding times would be impossible. Then again, most of them are outside, so that might partially be why. We actually have a cat who used to be overweight until we made him stop hoarding the foodbowl. He's four pounds lighter now. Still food-focused, but maintaining his weight pretty nicely.

So you want me to stress Brian out so you can feel better at night? Lol I’ll pass on that one

@@Drifttheorygaragethat’s not stressing him out?? You have to separate him, I have two cats and one is bigger because she just overeats, and eats her sisters food. Some cats are food obsessed and you have to separate them during meals so one doesn’t become the size of a couch. That’s called neglect

Rotundity 😂

He's such a good kitty- even though he's a heckin chonker if I've ever seen one! XD

I'm almost certain he's actually trying to tell her his name is RYAN, a la The Office scene. "bitch... 🧐📝"

Yup he most definitely wanted to speak with a manager lol

Cats in general don't hate water, they just associate it with then being wet and cold. My dad has had multiple cats where you couldn't leave warm dishwater in the sink, or they would jump in. They also tried to join you in the bath, despite it being way too deep for them.

I love your avi

Or lazy, I'd say it's a 50/50 possibility

@@joebaumgart1146 Thanks. La la la la la...

Because he is too big and he can't move or run away that's why he has to stay there

Sounds racist

Can confirm I have a tri-color female that is mostly black and white and she makes noises I've never heard cats make, and we've had cats for like 3 decades.

Like Poki!

huh weird, my personal experience agrees. My tuxedo boy had the biggest mournful meyowwoos, his littermates would just sit next to him and let him complain for them

My tuxedo teenager doesn't "meow." Most of the time he sounds just like a squeaky toy, with variable volume. If he's really excited it's more of a whistle 😅😼

Sounds like my grandmothers dog, most of the family referred to him as a penguin because he learned to sit up to beg and had enough weight that he could shuffle around like that while trying to get back onto all fours. He was a nasty pain in the rear whenever my grandmother was there and there were issues with a lot of his behavior. He found places my grandmother couldn't get to in order to go while refusing to go outside once my grandmother tripped and ended up in a wheelchair. He'd alternate between friendly/needy and snapping on a dime depending upon his wishes of the instant. My grandmother would feed him anything he could get down...to the point that when she was drinking ensure due to it being one of the few things we could get my grandmother to actually consume herself, she'd give the dog a bottle whenever she had one. He was a mess...and would bark non-stop at anything and everything At three points when my grandmother ended up in the hospital, my family took him in and his weight dropped and we ended a LOT of his bad behaviors...instant that he saw my grandmother, all of that went away and she'd let him do whatever he wanted and he knew that we wouldn't stop her there. He lived a longer than the vet expected for whatever terrier he was supposed to be, it was more of tainted dog treats causing issues with water retention in the end that got him.

You could say the same thing about humans. It's why we are so drawn to fattening foods, they are normally a rare occurrence for most of our existence but now they are everywhere.

These poor animals.....it's downright cruel to let them get this big. It truly shows neglect in bothering to show restraint for the sake of the animal's health. It's common sense that you can't give animals whatever they want all the time, because they have no idea what's actually good and or safe for them! Most have the intelligence of a human toddler, and you wouldn't let a toddler have and or eat whatever they want, would you?

I honestly don't know why people in the comments find this cat's obesity so funny...

At least until they started using the water on him, at which point poor Brian was clearly dying

He IS Bustopher Jones!

^^^^^^this comment

Bustopher Jones was 25 pounds, so you're not far off!

This exactly how my 13 pound female maine coon screams. She won't scratch or bite but will scream bloody murder in protest.

He is the purrfect opera cat. He's even wearing a tuxedo!

They need to separate him from the others when they eat.

Good idea, I hope they do that, ekleamon1

I named him after Paul Walker. My Brian is fine just how he is.

Yea from all the comments theyre leaving, they are not managing his health

@@DrifttheorygarageThat’s sweet. Paul Walker was an amazing human. But Brian is overweight and that’s not healthy for him. I say this as someone who also has an overweight cat. Similar situation. My other cats eat and she finished their food for them.

And better owners.

And a diet.

He probably also needs to be a single cat.

@@basementality4924 trashing the owners on here isn't kind. Education works much better.

I don't think folks realize how difficult having an obese cat is in a multicat household. I joke that my chonk has a leptin receptor deficiency because he had no satiety. He starts scoping other cats' food before he even finishes his own and uses his size to body the other cats away from their food, meaning mealtimes have to be directly supervised. The other 2 are at the opposite end of the spectrum: prefer to eat a little and return to their food (which the chonk takes full advantage of). To ensure everyone is fed enough and fed the correct foods without extra consumption by the chonk, I would have to keep them separated 24/7. I used to be able to sequester him with his more agile brother and put his brother's food up on a stand, but his brother doesn't like the new stand and will go without food over climbing it. I genuinely do the best I can, but it's a battle.
