Behold Cinderblock, the obese cat who's our new inspiration
Meet Cinderblock, a very large cat who went viral for channeling all of us in her show of annoyance at having to get on a treadmill.
Cinderblock is eight years old and currently resides at Northshore Veterinary Hospital in Bellingham, Wash. where she's been given, literally, a new life.
CNN reports that Cinderblock's previous owner couldn't care for the cat anymore due to health issues and brought the cat in to be euthanized.
But Britta Kiffney, a vet at Northshore, said she "couldn't do it" and asked have Cinderblock given to her. And now Kiffney and other Northshore staff are working on getting the feline in better shape since, as Kiffney says, the cat is "morbidly obese."
Despite Cinderblock's earlier trepidations, a newer video shows Cinderblock getting rolling (figuratively) on the underwater treadmill.
In the description of the above video, Northshore explains why they're using this particular kind of treadmill.
Many people have wondered why Northshore is subjecting Cinder to the underwater treadmill. Cinder has arthritis in multiple joints and is carrying an extra 10 lb of body weight. The water provides a reduced weight-bearing environment that increases functional use of limbs without marked weight loading and resultant discomfort to joints. She's still in the process of becoming acclimated to this treadmill and the water level is lower than we would like just so she can become used to the process.”
Another video posted to Cinderblock's YouTube account shows the cat being, again, very relatable as she has to be lured out of bed with food. And another shows Cinderblock getting into the Halloween spirit.
That's a very good fat cat.
Be sure to bookmark Cinderblock's YouTube page for new videos to bring relatable joy to our otherwise meaningless lives.
