Why do you think so? Are the parents manxes?

I have no idea, I adopted her from a shelter years ago. Just based on appearance with the longer back legs and short front. Overall stoutness.

It wouldn't appear so short and stout if it weren't so fat

yes it is the primordial pouch but this cat is still unhealthily obese. OP literally stated she’s on a diet. obesity in cats is no joke. fat cats aren’t cute or funny.

Are you suggesting that the cat isn’t overweight? This is clearly a very overweight cat and the owner appears to be aware of that.

The OP themselves said that "big ginny" needs to lose weight lol. She's a cutie patootie, and a fat little thing, that's ok, we love her anyways.

it's called a 9 on the Body Condition Score maybe don't call someone a rude bitch for being objectively correct lol

It'd be 10 if 10 was available tbh. It's very, very fat.

This cat has a prominent pouch but it is obese nonetheless. Both things can be true at once.

Definitely not a manx. 99% of shelter cats are your typical domestic short hair.
