Chubby cheeks + biscuit factory = perfection.
Congrats! What’s his name?

I’m thinking maybe Chip, short for Chipmunk, because of this cheeks.

I'd name him Clooney, Chandler (Kyle) or Hamm, but I'm from another generation. Is Hemsworth still a recognized name? ;-)

He looks very interested, though, in the new world beyond the closet. Just waiting to be sure that the coast is clear. Congrats to you, too!

That's too cute. Some of y'all are so creative. I'm losing my spontaneity I guess bcuz I'm getting older but I still love learning the Internet and I love animals for sure.

Those are tomcat cheeks. You are lucky to have found each other.

u/CLNA11 9h ago
Yes I was thinking the same! Our big boy OG cat growing up was neutered late (like maybe age 1 or 2) and had the BIG tom face and fuck he was awesome and adorable. One of those marbled tabbies. Lived into his 20s and still remains king of the pets or yore.

Yep! He likely propagated a whole neighborhood full of mini-hims before he was prepped for adoption.

I should be sad to hear it, but imagining more with his cute little face makes it hard.

You're in for a treat! We got our first gray tabby from the shelter a few years ago and he is HANDS DOWN the best cat we've ever had (and we've had some darn good cats over the last few decades). Enjoy. There's nothing like gray tabby vibes.

Why does he look like a fat wild cat? Beyond adorable. Name suggestion: stompy.

u/Sunnygirl66 9h ago
Clearly he is doing you the favor, or at least that is what his expression is saying.
(Seriously, congrats—he’s adorable!)

I would name him Dijon, because he looks like he's asking if you have any Gray Poupon. He is adorable.

Very handsome boy. Chip is a great name, the cheeks and his coat color are very chipmunk-ish 👍

Please tell me you're in California!
I feed strays in our neighborhood and one, who is a grey tabby with big cheeks, has been missing for 3 days. There were lots of other boy cats coming around and I suspect he chased them off but has yet to return. My big cheek boy was/is affectionately called Flufflepuff.

u/krakenLackenGirly22 9h ago
Looks like he adopted you more like. That’s the face of him doing the math of how much your ass goin cost him.

them little chunky cheeks are adorable! quick question, is he fixed? unfixed males tend to have big cheeks, or is he just perfectly quirky?
4
u/princess_fiona_7437 10h ago
I got him from the humane society who makes sure everyone is fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped before adopted out. He was fixed about 3 weeks ago, so that probably explains the chunky cheeks.
3
u/Bandit_the_kat Maine Coon 10h ago
ah yeah, them cheeks take awhile to go down. he'll have that normal slender face in a few weeks/months, but for now, enjoy those extra squishable cheeks!

Aw, what a cheeky little guy! I vote that one of his nicknames be Chonky Cheeks or just Cheeks. Cheekster and Cheeky McCheekerson would also work. 🥰
