- 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.
It might Happen in your lifetime
@@cosmolutraTell me you haven't been paying attention without paying attention.
@somalutra6717 WW3 is at our doorstep. Global elites are playing all sides. Goal is depopulation. Best thing to do is to reform ourselves so we show up to the day of Reckoning with a sound heart. Short time left..
@@deantrail6789 Happy go lucky 😊
That'll be cool. Then cats will rule the world.
The cat is looking at the owner and saying "what about you?"
😂
I laughed out loud at this comment
Oh. I thought he said “I wanna be like you!”
🤣
😂
I know what you are thinking, we're all thinking it...
LOOOOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The elephant in the room..
🤣🤣🤣
what
Pets always resemble their owners, either physically or mentally. No exceptions.
💀
Exactly
😂
ohh.. thats why my cats depressed
ohh.. thats why my cats depressed
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. 🤣
There was a cat called Cinderblock who ran on a treadmill in water. Well, she lumbered, anyway. I often wonder how she got on.
@@thatswhatisaid8908 I remember that cat! She was precious!
Oh gog I remember Holly! I vaguely recall Cinderblock by appearance but I didn't know their name was Cinderblock-
Yeah, I remembered 😁😹😹😹🤣
*PhYsIcaL AcTivItIeS*
My favorite part is Peaches waiting during the interview for the chance to give his side of the story.
Lmfao 😂
His side of the story is: they made me fat, now I have to suffer to loose that fat again and nobody is telling the trueth here, cause i will still have some skin left later and with that owner who made me eat to much, i will gain wait again. Its suffering for me and the people dont care, who to proper care about me as a pet in the first place. Just making money out of my suffering-poor peaches!
His response is "ef hoominz mayke mee xer-size, fat hoomin feedur need to xer-size tuu".
@@itsyourmethod Sadly true, it really is the owner's fault it even got to this point
@@itsyourmethod Cats and other animals having loose skin is a feature not a bug. This way if something grabs them they can turn around and bite it.
Like mother, like son
Pet weight is not always solely because they eat too much. I adopted an abused cat 4 months ago and it's been a roller coaster of trial and error. She was extremely thin when she moved in with me. I took her to the vet and thought I was giving her what she needed but because she seemed to be ALWAYS hungry I gave her a little more. She did gain weight to a healthy weight but soon surpassed that weight and was chunky. We went back to a strict diet and she's a very healthy weight now. She still seems hungry all the time. I've come to realize that when she wasn't being fed enough or regularly that she would gorge herself because she didn't know when she'd be fed again. Mealtimes are now strictly adhered to. She can have a few treats but I limit them. I distract her with play when she wants food but it's not time yet. She is also becoming more secure all the way around. Being abused and starved at a young age can scar them for life.
I watched a Jackson Galaxy video, because my cat was a feral kitten and always wants to eat too. He suggested (or maybe it was someone else) that cats "need" to hunt. I discovered that sometimes you can get the cat toys out and play with them and it will distract them. As in, they're not actually hungry, it's boredom or another mental thing.
I rescued a little abused kitten as well and same thing happened with her! She was just the tiniest little being, just skin and bones, and now she looks like a football every time winter rolls (ha! pun) around and she can't go on long walks with me as often. She gains weight super easily and she also sometimes still growls whilst eating, like she always did at the start, and occasionally hits her siblings when they are eating THEIR food just NEXT to her... Poor little ones being so mentally damaged by a bad start in life 😿
My cat will always ask for food, but that doesn't mean she's truly hungry. If you give when they meow or run to the place where the food is kept, you are training them to ask for it. Whatever you do, don't free feed. Measured meals is the way to go.
That said, worms and other parasites can be an actual cause of perpetual hunger. Even if your cat doesn't show visible signs or tested positive those, a couple of rounds of deworming meds and a round of antibiotics should be given to any rescue that's spent any prolonged time outdoors. The vets didn't recommend it, but I demanded it for my cats. My girl had soft poops for nearly 6 months, and that ended it instantly and cleared all eye and nose discharge.
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."
😂
Lmaoo😂
😂😂😂😂😂 bombastic side eye
Criminal offensive side eye 😒
He looks so mad in front of the whole world 🤣😂🤣😻😻🐾🧡🐾🧡
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😂
Yes, cat fat shaming 😂 I think a little exercising is great for all of us ❤
@@shaunaleessnackidies hello how are you doing
😂😂❤ And the face the cat has right after is like every child
I have 13 cats. Her look was real. We live with them as equals. They are not our property. Sometimes they are A-holes.
that was a straight up side eye like he knew what she said 😆
This is good motivation for the owner to lose some weight too. They should do this together.
I think to be honest, it's only to be the cat in this situation
The owner of the cat or the owner of the pool? All the humans here seem comically un-self aware.
Even the pet is trying harder than the owner😭💀
He’s so calm n cute during the interview😘
Well he does love to sit.
Look like he loves to nap
He's just lazy
guys i don't think he can help being cute
Cats are great beings
The side eye that cat got when she said "exert himself " sent me.
😂😂😂
It's a perfect reaction shot from the office haha
😂😂😂😂
His owner needs to join him 😂
and you need to touch grass
@@brooke2383 That's how you respond to the truth?
Not to be laughed about but definitely true
@@brooke2383you got mentally touched by this persons comment 😂
@@brooke2383 he touch the weeds...what about you...burger ???? 🤣🤣🤣
Pets reflect their owner but glad he is getting the help he needs.
His face when he’s swimming is so cute!
the big pupils and the way he scrunches his nose 😚
Ikr 😽☝️
He is!
@deemah3602 It's already a tempting boop with that shade of light pink every orange cat's nosie tends to be, but when he scrunches it up I want to boop it even more.
0:46 :)
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!
that hooman shouldn't be the one to talk 😅
That part was hilarious. He was so annoyed with the thought of having to "exert" himself
That cat is an ins-purr-ation to all animals and humans who are trying to lose weight 😊😊😊😊
Am I the only one who thinks this is a Twilight Zone Episode? 😂
hahaha
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. 😊🎉❤
Cat owner: It's really only when he's asked to exert himself . . .
Peaches: Hypocrit.
That is a gorgeous cat. He also looks so polite while sitting in the box during the interview.
Lies again? Novo Mix Free Meals
Polite?
I´d say pissed...🤣
"Peaches loves eating and sitting". Same man.
And clearly, so does she. When's her hydrotherapy, lol?
@@katashley1031he probably grow up seeing the owner.. and the owner blame her cat😂
@@katashley1031I know right
Same man? What man??!? What are you trying to say, and what man is the same as this kitty?!? Learn English properly to make a point; or don’t make one at all.
@@see-rious-leywhat? "same man" is just a another way of agreeing with someone 💀
1:40
Look at his little face as he swims!
I bet he doesn't like the water, but come on! Look at the little face!
* looks at cat AND the owner *
Yes... it has to be the cat...
😂
I would die for this cat.
Damn I was gonna comment this-
Nah you won't, I hate this type of corny comments
@@fai411 careful not to cut yourself on that edge
Get diabetes too
Nobody asked for it...stay safe
We believe in you Peaches!
Ima say what everyone else is thinking. The owner should join the swimming class too.
@@wubbied4575u seem to be projecting bro u should take swimming classes too
@@WAKUSEl funny enough, I actually compete in swim meets. I’m ranked in my state. Good try tho.
@@wubbied4575 ah yes the renowned state number one swimmer wubbied4575! I’m so sorry your honor for calling out your rude comment towards someone’s weight when the video was unrelated to that said someone.
Just dont be a prick dude its not hard.
Plus you dont know if shes working out or eating better because the video isnt about her, but about her cat. Thats why it on the news, because rude people like you wouldnt care less about a random persons weight loss journey.
@@WAKUSEl it’s okay I forgive you, thanks for apologizing ☺️
Cat is not the only one that would need a workout routine tbh
Him slow blinking when his mom talks is so cute. He likes her voice haha! 😊
When she said "... exerts himself" he gave her the "Speak for yourself." Look😂😂😂
LMAO
It's actually exactly what I thought. The animals are always a reflection of the owners!
Ew. Don’t be rude and fatphobic. With cats it’s more straightforward, but nothing about health can be assumed from body size. HAES
@@Yelhsa0703 Obesity can cause diabetes and heart issues for humans as well. Fatphobia is not a thing, it's a made up term to shut other valid opinions down. The owner needs as much exercise as the cat
@@Yelhsa0703Yes it does
Peaches might be a little chubby, but he's a lucky boy to have a mom who loves him so much. All animals should know such love.
Uhm... His mom probably is the reason he is overweight in the first place. She should have adjusted his diet waaaay before he got to that size. Unless it was the previous owners fault and he's an overweight rescue, of course.
@@kimreni He wouldn't need a diet in the first place if they just properly fed him and not give him too much or extra snacks or even human food here and there.
In the video it says she doesn't like to walk or anything. So, I think that's got a lot to do with it.@@kimreni
@@kimreni yeah its likely that the owner made a mistake, but they are trying to fix it through diets and expensive excercise courses as soon as they noticed something’s not right. other owners in their place would just keep feeding the cat until its fat beyond recognition, even after they realize that their cat’s diet is too caloric. what im trying to say is- they might have made a mistake but that doesnt devalidate the love they have for their cat. they clearly care for the cat’s health and i can’t help but admire the effort theyve been putting to ensure the cat’s wellbeing.
Yeah and she's a f a t a s s to 😂
Like mother like son
A damn cat was able to loose weight. This is the motivation people needed...
His little mouth when he swims I’m dying of cuteness ❤
I know. I want it as my Screensaver
I see you my fellow Atiny ❤😊
This cat is too cute! He reminds me of my tabby baby. Peaches must've been a human at one point since he loved being interviewed and 🏊 so gracefully.
world needs more news stories like this
The cat meowing actually translates to "You should join me lady."
Yes!!
He's so hansum! His face says "I'm over it!"
His lil paws swimming 💕💕
look at the owner!! A BAD EXAMPLE LOL
😂😂
Way to go, Peaches! Swimming/walking in water is the best way to start out trying to build fitness.
The zoom in on the cats face as she's talking during the interview got me 😂😂
So cute. Bless his heart for getting out there and trying it although he is terrified. Great job! ❤
I, too, would die for Peaches. So cute
Cat side-eyes her like "you're not one to talk, lady."
I was looking for a polite way to say something like this but you hit the nail on the head 😀
Ikr 😅
About to say that too.✌️😆
😂
This is so bad but so true💀
0:42 Whoever edited that, I love you.
What a sweet story and that woman is beautiful and has a heart of gold for caring for her cat.
What a darling little cat. My prayers go out to him and his loving family, may his health journey be blessed 🙏 🐈.
Now the cat should start documenting it's owner's fat loss journey.
Right. If Peaches was my cat he would’ve never have gotten fat in the first place
😂😂😂
💯 Someone covered this story because of the irony of it all. 😂 The situational amnesia and self-reflecting blindness of the owner is astounding !
@@namehere8099her weight is her issue to deal with not yours, can’t you just sit back and enjoy the cat
@@lindseylindsey9200 no? anyone shouldn't take advice from people that aren't role models. this applies to cats too. they see you being like that, then it's natural that they'll see nothing wrong with imitating what you do.
Cats not the only one in dire need of exercise
Peaches isn't the only one who likes eating and sitting so does the owner 🤣
fr
Always have two cats. Their playfulness with each other outweighs any weight loss program
I wish! My two ignore each other. The only exercise they get together is when one bops the other in the head.
Or just... You know... Don't give them unlimited access to food.
@@kimreni I give both my cats access to unlimited food. Both cats are very fit, with one easily jumping up to my 6ft shoe cabinet.
Not all cats are the same, but weight depends a lot on how much attention you give the cats.
@@HuyDao0014 I'm aware. My friend can free feed her cats, but my cats would overeat. I use a kitchen scale to prepare suitable portions for them at set feeding times. They are active outdoor cats, too. But still. They'll catch a mouse, eat it and ask for kibble 30 minutes later. Some cats just don't naturally stop so the owner's got to do it for them.
Two cats and feed them raw meat, that's their natural diet. Changed my cats lives entirely.
Go Peaches! He is so cute, both in the pool and out of it!
I love him. :3
What a sweet, friendly and lazy cat, I'm melting, he's absolutely adorable.
We love and support you, Peaches❤❤❤
Swimming together (cat and owner) would be even more inspiring 👍
Strange, I said that the owner could use some time in the pool as well a month before you did,but I have zero likes and you have 56.
@@boataxe4605that's yt censorship for you....they do that randomly sometimes for no reason.
@@boataxe4605Well it's not nice. Quite sure she knows she's overweight.
@@Kinikia95 So it’s ok to shame smokers or alcoholics because they are doing something that is harmful to themselves and may kill them, but it’s not ok to shame the morbidity obese? I don’t see a difference.
@@boataxe4605i wouldn't read into it too much. When a video has thousands of comments it almost comes down to luck as to which ones you will be shown
He is so cute I’m crying and we are all very proud of Peaches
Why do I want to hug this adorable cat so much?
Thank you Mason!
Adorable Peaches - we wish you success on your weight loss. (Peaches is a chubby little honeybun - very handsome kiddo.)
Peaches will definitely reach his weight loss goals with such a loving family 😊
i love the fact the reporter had to say “Peaches the Purrmaid” 1:30
What an incredible journey! Peaches is defying the odds and inspiring us all. Kudos to Peaches and their owner for their dedication and determination. Keep making waves, Peaches! 🌊💪
Even if Peaches "loves eating and sitting", the owner can give him healthier food and not so much as the cat wants.
I enjoy this video very much then.
i love how that orange cat just sitting there getting interviewed on camera just like the human.
This is so cute peaches is so precious we need more stories like this so cool
yeah its cool, stories of animals fed to obesity by their stupid owners, AND THEN forced to exercize to lose weight. All the while their fat owners won't take it upon themselves to lose weight. Really we need more stories like that :D
works out more than his owner and he knows it
What a cute baby. He's beautiful despite his weight. I wish him well on his weight loss journey
Love seeing his little paws go ❤
If he keeps swimming he's gonna be shredded.
the irony of this story when you see the owner
My rescue came to me with heart disease and weighed 17 lbs. I give him weight control food, but what really helped was the kitten we adopted. She’s his personal trainer. Now, after a year, he weighs 14.5
Like owner, like pet.
I'm glad you said it, so I didn't have to. 😅
omg just stop
Peaches is a great role model for everyone. Stay healthy!
He's adorable! Wish him to be healthier!
The owner is fixing her life through the cat. Nothing but love
nahh the owner is the suspect here 😂
For sure 😂
bruh like 🙄
Yeah some people shouldnt own pets if they cant even take care of themself
@@AbuHajarAlBugattihow do you even know that? How do you know that they dont take care of themself? Did the explicitly say that?

@@itzmeevan you literally see the ghostbusters-marshmallow-man Owner woman in the video. I travel a lot and only see these whales and people excusing these whales in western cultured countries funnily. Well precisely north america and northern europe
Aww, Peaches is so cute. Best of luck on your weight loss.
This cat has more determination than the majority of Lizzo fans.
He so sweet, you go Peaches! It’s so worth the effort.
When he's swimming and opens his mouth it's so cute😂❤
I love how the owner is more worried about her cat’s weight loss than her own.
You don't know that she isn't though, you're just making that assumption.
exactly, the video is talking about peaches not her
@joyc.e.7511 assuming everyone watching this has 2 eyes its pretty easy to see they are not taking their weight seriously at all..
@@anonymoususer1824 you're not the person though, so I think it's a bad habit to make assumptions based on how people look when you have so little to go on.
I think the news is more interested in the cat's weight loss than hers.
This is the kind of news we all need daily lol
Yay Peaches! I love your health fitness journey. We all need more of that journey for ourselves (well, most of us, anyway).
If I was the owner, I would go into the pool with them to get myself some exercise as well. Win win situation.
Damn was looking for a comment like this the moment i saw the owners
@@aileenxie8706😂
scrolled down for 30s to find this comment
Bro i was thinking "1 down, 1 to go"
Sometimes it's a lot easier to take care of others - and to care about their life - than it is to take care of yourself. I know that struggle well.
What a sweet cat and obviously trying his best to swim . Animals know it when we love them. And I'm sure he knows his owner is doing it for his own good.
I think its really sweet that his parents are helping him lose weight. What sn absolutely adorable cat :)
So precious 💗 So happy that she brought him to hydrotherapy 👏
Peaches is absolutely adorable.
I feel your pain Peaches, it ain't no fun working out! 😂 But it's wonderful to see how loved and cared for you are. I need someone to take me to a rehabilitation pool too! 😊 Best wishes to you, your Mom and your care givers. ❤
Peaches is so inspiring! what a wise and brave cat. time to go for a jog
Im losing it everytime the interview cam zooms in the cat while it makes a ‘im gonna kil you later sharon’ look😂
😂😂😂
sure, it's the cat's fault.
Peaches is so precious and handsome. Baby Peaches, be healthy and strong.
Kudos 👏👏 to the lady to help her kitty 🐈 N share the experience.
❤❤❤
Kudos to her, she should lead by example for her cat as well
true. The cat probably followed in her example but at least she's trying to help the cat now @@haruyanto8085
She should do some swimming herself lol
Aw hes so cute! Look at his lil feet paddling 😂❤
That’s how my dog did his therapy after his knee surgery. He lived it. Warm water and swimming is perfect to get your pet back into shape.
He's very handsome❤
I love those little orange points on his ears. So cute.
The cat is just imitating her owner.
hes so calm
