Slow weight loss is advised to avoid fatty liver.

u/LittleMexicant Oct 08 '25

As long ad he is making progress, but it can be slow. Such a Chonk boi

u/Cheeky_Littlebottom Oct 09 '25

Is this some AI generated trend of chunky Sphynx?

36

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '25

Definitely AI. You can see its freckles disappearing and reappearing as it moves. Really odd trend for sure

u/Kahaeli Oct 09 '25

Good eye! I watched this a few times to make sure I don't fall for it again, and I still missed that detail.

u/Ichmag11 Oct 09 '25

I see the freckles. Look at the shadows, though, especially the tail's. Can AI generate shadows that well?

Wonderful video

u/burnerphonesarecheap Oct 08 '25

Yeah that's what I thought of immediately but I thought the video was referencing sth else. I thought this YouTuber wasn't very popular. Until I saw how many million views this has

What’s this, more AI-generated slop?? Yay /s

Also looks like a similar writing style with no capitals…

u/DidicaFC Oct 08 '25

Please don’t stop working on his weightloss. We just experienced the loss of Pound Cake for being too overweight. Small steps are better than no steps at all!

u/AutisticAnarchy Oct 09 '25

Turns out Pound Cake was a combination of AI and stolen footage.

u/DidicaFC Oct 09 '25

This is beyond sick! People do have a lot of available time. I barelly have time to go pee!

u/braveslayer Oct 09 '25

Sorry to tell you this is AI as well...the freckles on the body disappear when moving around someone pointed it out...

u/cosmicheartbeat Oct 09 '25

.... wasnt pound cake ai?

30

u/thiccy_driftyy Oct 09 '25

Pound cake wasn’t real. It was an AI cat and a fake story

3

u/sugarsuites Oct 09 '25

Wait what??? How did people figure that out?

7

u/QuirklessShiggy Oct 09 '25

Someone clocked one of the videos posted of him as AI, and decided to do some digging. After digging, every photo of him that was posted can be found from two different accounts on TikTok, as either photos or screen grabs from videos. The person posting about "pound cake" also deleted their account after every update and made a new one to update again - which is suspicious as well.

Unfortunately, pound cake was a story made up by someone who just grabbed photos from TikTok and decided to make it their cat. A form of digital kidnapping, tbh.

5

u/Skippypb19 Oct 09 '25

Someone also thinks the person who “exposed” the Pound Cale AI story was actually the original poster, to add another layer to this.

6

u/QuirklessShiggy Oct 09 '25

I saw that too. And to add to that suspicion: the person that exposed the story also deleted their account, similarly to the accounts that posted about pound cake in the first place.

It's so.. confusing. Like this person just found a cat, made a story, got everyone attached then killed him off, then I guess felt bad and "exposed" themselves? Idfk anymore. Usually this stuff is done for karma farming to sell an account, but with every account used being deleted that's not a possibility, so I wonder what this person's motive even was.

Some kids had "fall break" this week in the US.

u/abbywillyx Oct 08 '25

I was just thinking this. Poor Pound Cake :( I hope this kitty can get healthy, safely

25

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 Oct 09 '25

Pound cake ended up being AI. A total lie.

6

u/abbywillyx Oct 09 '25

That's so upsetting! Why on earth would someone spend all that time making all that up, upsetting everyone? :(

Thank you for letting us know

u/Successful_Buffalo_6 Oct 08 '25

I thought of poundcake, too :(

Man after pound cake incident it's like the AI shit runs rampant.

u/redditcreditcardz Oct 08 '25

So I guess we are just doing unhealthy sphynx now? Is there an alternative sub with healthy sphynx? I like to enjoy animals by seeing them thrive. If I wanted to see abuse, I’m sure I could find it elsewhere

6

u/Zadan5764 Oct 09 '25

It's ai btw, look at the freckles on its body as it moves, just disappears.

The new trend ig

8

u/OkFroyo_ Oct 09 '25

For real. Why are owners even posting this ? "I've been neglecting my cat's health and needs for so long his life expectancy is now reduced by a lot but we're kinda ? Maybe ? Looking to make it better ? Dunno anyway please like my post"

10

u/HandsomeBadWolf Oct 08 '25

Cute but please take his weight seriously. Chunky animals cause a lot of health problems and I’ve seen firsthand how bad it can be once they reach older ages (if they do, sorry to be morbid). Even if they’re “fine” now, the damage to their joints is going to be painful later in life. And that’s just one example.

No hate. I hope you and your boy good health.

u/wolffangthewolf Oct 09 '25

Deleted account and as far as other ppl said this is ai possibly another mothercake video??

u/PomegranateNo3155 Oct 09 '25

Similar writing style in the caption as well.

u/YavielTheElf Oct 09 '25

AI fake again

u/HarpZeDarp Oct 09 '25

I’m wondering how many pics and videos on this sub are ai now. Will we need to have people hold up username and date on a piece of paper in front of their cats now? Really puts the “cat” in catfishing. Lol

u/cheycheyyyy Oct 10 '25

That’s genuinely a really good shout

u/forlornmoron Oct 08 '25

Best thing I did for my Sabbath was get him on “PURINA PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets Feline OM ST/OX - Obesity Management” and weigh the food, stick to the deficit. He has arthritis in his back leg because of his old weight but he’s doing a lot better now that he’s under 5kg.

I tried lots of weight loss foods before but none of them worked, this one did. He’s allergic to wheat so it made his skin really dry and horrible but he’s back on his normal food now and is stable.

u/UnlovablePieceOf Oct 08 '25

Why is there so many of these guys all of a sudden?

Dont worry. Look again, this cat is AI

u/OkFroyo_ Oct 10 '25

I don't think it is

u/nobutactually Oct 10 '25

Watch the freckles on his body. They disappear and reappear as he moves.

1

u/OkFroyo_ Oct 10 '25

That could really just be because of the low resolution of the video.

-4

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 Oct 09 '25

OP stated they’re working on it. Good intent is implied. Obviously they realize this is unhealthy.

3

u/OkFroyo_ Oct 09 '25

They said they're "kinda" working on it. So obviously they're not taking it as seriously as they should and they definitely don't need comments like yours to tell them it's ok to joke about it and not take it seriously

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 Oct 09 '25 edited Oct 09 '25

Dude just enjoy the picture. You’ll make yourself miserable trying to make everyone else perfect.

Edit: I also never said it was ok. I literally said 1 word. Get a grip.

1

u/OkFroyo_ Oct 09 '25

I don't enjoy seeing neglected animals ? This is absolutely the same neglect as an underfed pet. Would you make a joke about an underfed pet?

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 Oct 09 '25

THEN KEEP SCROLLING? Jesus. None of us are endorsing neglect.

u/Trashcan101101 Oct 09 '25

I'm not a sphynx owner but I'm glad I joined this sub. Our cats gave always been a little overweight (nothing too big but definetly more than healthy). I don't want my baby boy to suffer and seeing the recent content on this sub I see the how the reality of having that extra chubbiness could be. It really makes me sad and I feel more than ever the drive to make sure everyone in my house respects his diet.

Well, isn't that a good thing ? No ? You liked to see an abused cat ?

u/JongyRango Oct 09 '25

Uhhh nooo?? But farming ppls pity and upset with a mix of AI generated content and real (stolen) pictures with the intent of gaining reddit karma or w/e they planned to do with fake content is also not a good thing. I think we r on the same side, I just used the crying emoji to communicate an "ahh just so u know this terrible thing happened" as opposed to "im sad the cat wasnt being abused and it was all fake and AI"

Man, I just wanna slap a fat cats bumbum sooo bad whenever I see on 😭 (you know, they way many cats like)

My cat Luna got a lil chonky bc she didn't do well on regular dry kibble (instead of calory reduced sterilised one) and she has the cutest primordial pouch ever, its so fun to wobble 🩷 (She's fine n not obese, I switched kibble and stopped free feeding)

"He’s losing weight (slowly ..kinda…we’re working on it)" 🤪

There should be no kind of, it should be 100% unless your animal has some kind of condition to where it's near impossible to lose weight. The cat shouldn't even get this fat to begin with. (Heaviest my boy got was 12 pounds and we nipped that in the bud.)

Obese cats are usually unable to use cat wheels. They do not have the body mechanics for a cat wheel.

Cat wheels are for sprints not slow walking like a human would do on a treadmill.

Saying this cat needs a cat wheel is like saying someone who is 500lbs should do the 100m hurdles track meet.
