her food is measured, she gets no treats. vets have no idea. she now weighs 10.4 lbs.

shes not a large cat, just fat as hell. she’s currently in the care of my parents while im away for seasonal work. she has gained a full pound since i left two months ago.

i feel like i cursed her by naming her Fat Baby.

pics of the day i found her almost two years ago for comparison (granted, she was only maybe 6 months old then and hungry, but she is so fat now and she hardly got larger bone-wise)

is it just genetic?

she also has a compulsive licking/chewing problem that we can’t figure out. you can see she chews the hair off her butt and we really don’t know why and neither do vets. any advice on that would be a huge help
