it's the buff cat

May 30, 2018 1:47 PM

everyday i think about this buff cat i encountered last year (SLTwitter).

Yes, this is just a twitter account for a muscular round boy, but oh what a round boy!

He (or she, no confirmation on Buff Cat's gender as of yet) is an absolute unit living somewhere in Canada. Information is still coming in, but we do have stunning video evidence of Buff Cat in the wild. With a burgeoning Instagram presence and a growing collection of fan art and memes, Buff Cat is a bona fide Internet sensation on the come up.

Thicc boi's previously on the blue.

Is there a link to this that doesn't require me to accept Twitter's non-GDPR-compliant AUP or delete my twitter account? (Which I currently access only via a third-party app.)

... that really is a buff cat. Though someone suggested in the twitter thread that they might have had subQ fluids recently, which is another option.

My guess would be that the cat has a Myostatin deficiency, much like Wendy the Whippet or Robert Förstemann. Either way, that cat is a beast!

Ye-es, but I'm not actively scared of that cat beating me up or ordering a hit on me. In contrast, compare this Maine Coon.

That cat looks more like Ron Perlman than Ron Perlman does.

It's a cute cat - a fine old boy - but, er, I have some disappointing news about that deep meow. And, uh, greetings from WetBlanketstan.
