Original picture: https://feedmerightmeow.tumblr.com/post/141531397240

The fake story doesn't add anything nor does it hurt anyone (except maybe the truth), but I was curious to see the original image

Edit: linked the post instead of the image itself

its*

(It's is it is)

"Its knees work hard because it's severely overweight."

It's*
noun, possessive

The cat has knees. It's knees are powder.

Possessive apostrophes are apostrophes (’) used with the letters at the end of a noun to show ownership over or a close connection with another noun. For example, if you were talking about the tail of your cat, you can add a possessive apostrophe and an s to show which noun is the owner.

We both used links from the same source.

I've traditionally used no apostrophe for inanimate objects, like a bus.

The bus has wheels. Its wheels are black.

But when dealing with a gendered, thinking being, use the apostrophe.

Edit: no need for down-votes for a good-faith discission, is there?

Yeah. Can’t be healthy, his head to body ratio is ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

It's very unhealthy, and its owners should be ashamed of themselves

My local cafe had one they adopted from the street (or she adopted the whole cafe). She would choose random people to jump on their laps and demand pets. Even though I'm a dog a person I miss her. Not because she passed away but because I moved away. I'm guessing she is still extorting pets.
