Smudge, an 18-year-old rescue cat, is undeniably enormous. Despite her parents' love for her chubby figure, they recognize the need for her to shed a few pounds for better health.

18?! Too late to improve the animal’s health. Cat must have good genes. Kitty doesn’t have long for this world so let her enjoy her remaining time.

I’ve had several cats make it to 18 and beyond. My oldest was 22.

Pet “parent”?

I am of a completely different species. I have pets. I am their owner, or at the furthest their companion, as they are my companions.

Anthropomorphizing animals is beyond ridiculous, and cheapens both the animals and humanity.

Cats don’t have parents. Cats have staff

Stopped reading when this person called the cat’s owners its parents. Stupid.

I’ve long had a fancy for the old study of acupuncture, and found out it works fine on me. And though I am aware that it is done on animals as well, I wonder how they could have figured that out.
