Fat cat 'Peaches' makes splash on TikTok over weight loss routine

A fat cat from Edmonton has made a splash on TikTok for his workout routine.

Peaches the Purrmaid, weighing nearly 25 pounds, has been swimming in an effort to lose weight.

During the pandemic, owner Chastity Emes attempted to get Peaches to accompany her on walks to drop the weight, but didn’t have much luck.

“I had a harness for him and tried to get him out of the condo, and we didn’t make it out of our hallway because he just kind of flopped over and decided it wasn’t going to happen,” Chastity Emes, Peaches’s owner.

With walks not being an option, Peaches took up swimming as part of her weight loss journey. Mason DePatie has that story.

I wish we lived in a world that is so peaceful that all news stories were about cute things like this.

My favorite part is Peaches waiting during the interview for the chance to give his side of the story.

I know what you are thinking, we're all thinking it...

0:38 "It's really only when he's being asked to _exert himself_ "
lmao the look on his face "you cannot be serious right now, Chastity."

Pets always resemble their owners, either physically or mentally. No exceptions.

If he keeps swimming he's gonna be shredded.

Peaches reminds me of that news video years ago where a newscaster couldn’t stop laughing at a fat cat named Holly swimming for exercise. 🤣

[ashamatronichow]

The look on her face when she says “he has to EXERT himself” was the most cat parent thing I’ve seen on the internet😂

[darthdart]

Even the pet is trying harder than the owner😭💀

[simply-tom]

This is good motivation for the owner to lose some weight too. They should do this together.

The cat is looking at the owner and saying "what about you?"

[rebeccaburns]

I love the zoom in on peaches little face when his owner says about him exerting himself hehe what a good little cat working to be healthier!

[Love_and_Cat_Taills]

This made me smile ear to ear! I have done this very thing with my boy Buddy Love, check my boys out on their channel. But amazing that you cared for Peaches to look for an option for him to get out and lose some weight.
Our cat family over here is cheering for Peaches and your guys health journey. 😊🎉❤

His face when he’s swimming is so cute!

[TheBonyLevi]

The side eye that cat got when she said "exert himself " sent me.

[moonlightalpha]

Y'all, can we not fat-shame the owner? Most owners with overweight pets wouldn't even bother trying to get their pet to lose weight, so I think that's a very good sign that Peaches has a very loving owner.

[ValiantPixel]

That is a gorgeous cat. He also looks so polite while sitting in the box during the interview.

"Peaches loves eating and sitting". Same man.
