Kitten Found On Roadside Surprises Hoomins With Extreme Fluffiness

This poor kitten was near death when he was found on roadside by a caring Florida family. They adopted him and nursed him back to health. Much to their surprise, he turned into such a huge fur-ball that they even created an Instagram account for him to share his happy moments. “Silas before and after!” Wrote the family on Instagram. “He was left on the side of the road, and near death. We gave him a forever home.” They never expected this little guy to turn out like this!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

He may be very well fed, but he's not obese. He looks maybe a little overweight, but nothing crucial. IMO. He just looks like a big happy boy.

White cats with blue eyes have a high chance of being deaf (60-80%). White cats without blue eyes have a higher chance than normal but it's only 10-20%. Source: http://icatcare.org/advice/cat-health/inherited-deafness-white-cats

It is wonderful to save an animal but it looks overfed, which will lead to trouble in his joints, and at risk of heart disease. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and quickly put him on a sensible diet.

-2points

AlisonWainwright 8 years ago

If he's an outdoors cat and likes sunbathing, please put baby's suncream on his ears! Hopefully his owners and most white cat owners know this nowadays. (Yes, they'll probably try and lick it off)

How do you know he's not just so fluffy he looks a bit tubby? Also, male cats can weigh anywhere between 9-11lbs fully grown.

that poor baby is overweight. that is more than fluffiness and it is very unhealthy for the cat. 2 extra pounds on a cat can mean about 2 years shorter a life. or more.
