Internet, meet buff cat. Buff cat is exactly what you expect him to be, and nothing more. Because buff cat doesn’t need to be anything more. He’s buff. If you don’t believe us, check out their twitter page:


I don’t know how anyone would possibly get that image out of their minds, to be honest.

Dr. Dan Smith, a veterinarian in New York, told BuzzFeed News he’s not sure if Buff Cat suffers from a genetic muscle condition, but said, “That boy is an absolute unit.”

“There is a genetic mutation that’s found mostly in some cow breeds that is called double-muscling (look up some pictures, they look fucking swole!) and I’ve heard of rare cases of it in some dog breeds like Rottweilers and Greyhounds, but never in a cat. This might be the first,” he added.

It’s possible that buff cat could have a genetic mutation similar to Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy in humans, however it’s impossible to know the cause without being able to have him genetically tested.

I’m terrified, too!

Family keeps finding kittens in their yard & the pictures will melt your heart!
