He might have overeaten out of stress because his previous human was sick, too 💔 maybe the other family left him with free food all day before eventually deciding to surrender him to a shelter.

Bless you for taking this boy on! Seven is still a very young cat and once he's slimmed down you may have many more years to enjoy with him!! We adopted a 10 year old cat who weighed 17.5 pounds. The previous owner had just left a huge bowl of kibble out for her to eat whenever. She couldn't jump on anything and used her claws to climb on the bed or sofa. She's now going on 15 and is a slim, healthy 11.5 pounds. She jumps up and down and feels good enough to play. I hope others will see your story and give older cats a chance!

Swimming will be good for him to lose weight without hurting his joints so maybe set up an outdoor kiddie pool and that will prepare him for the water kayaking. He is the perfect 5th child for you and your adorable family. I'm so glad you found each other!

If you've ever seen a 'fluffier' kitty doing aquatic therapy it's pretty amazing. I've seen them walking on a dry treadmill and while being distracted in every way possible, the vet/PT slowly increase the depth of the water until the furrbaby is swimming. Most tolerate it well if they are introduced to the water slowly and the exercise brings some kind of reward. It is very obvious that Axel is loved and enjoying his new home. I think the idea of kayaking is an Excellent idea!

Thanks so much for helping Axel! You guys are so lucky you found each other! His personality really shows!

Sumo is a chunk of love! You have given this little furry angel the best life ever. God bless you for you kindness and humanity.

I do not think it is sweet to act morbidly obese is something to downplay. People can think all they want about that in regards to humans, I mean it is still not good for them, but whatever.. In animals like this it is not healthy for an animal to be 43 pounds. Love the cat as it is, but being that obese for a cat is not good, and its kinda bad to see people act like it is. Fat acceptance for humans is whatever to me, i mean obviously it is not healthy at all, but for animals, it is nothing to be like, awww. its ok youre that heavy.. its not good at all for an animal, and it will suffer much worse.

cats can also bond with the other pet like dogs. but due to their different size and behavior, it's not easy for the cats to show the love to the dog like grooming or play fight. unless the dog understand the cats, the dog must be having a lot of stress handling the cat. so many people recommend to adopt at least two cats, and we know the reason.

She grew up around a lot of animals and was almost two when I got her. I think she enjoyed the peace and quiet of being a single pet. We bonded immediately. I did not need to keep her in a smaller room for a few days to let her gradually adopt to her new surroundings. I had her for 13 years and miss her so much.
