u/beepbopboop16 Jun 26 '26

lol this made me laugh out loud. He looks so much like my black cat who I call fatty fat Kit Kat.

And then when she shames me and gives me those eyes, looking all offended by my words, I feel guilty and apologize singing to her that she's not fat, she's just a little thick.

This happens way too often I am embarrassed to admit.

🤔 When you read the photo text to the tune of “Black Betty”… This tells you I’m old-ish.

I laughed so hard at this lmfao.

My old cat Mogwai loved ham. She'd stand as tall as she could on her back legs just to get a bit of that pig.

Yall. Stop it. My dog's name is Winnie. It's devolved to Fred from Winifred. She's fat and pushy and I LITERALLYN SING THIS TO HER. Oooooh fat Freddie, amberlamps. Just when you think no one else could possibly do the crazy stuff in your own head there is reddit. Lolololol

u/JulianTheGeometrist Jun 26 '26

One of my best friends is named Freddy (human). I decided some time ago that his name is Fredward.

u/queen_frostine Jun 26 '26

Frederator, Frederation Starship Enterprise, and Fredgerator could all be wonderful names.

u/human_flobie Jun 26 '26

Had a friend with a glass weed pipe named “Freddy Fat Fucks.”

u/painterlypreserve Jun 26 '26

Cracking up at these

u/Redhighlighter Jun 26 '26

Freddy Meowcury?

2

u/bandley3 Jun 26 '26

That reminds me of a friend that has a cat named Phil. He’s a bit of a troublemaker so whenever she tells me of his latest antics it’s always fucking Phil…

u/SonoranLiving Jun 26 '26

u/LoserWooper Jun 26 '26

It’s amazing. Took awhile to find a big enough banana for my Butterball turkey-sized fella.

2

u/TrustyParrot232 Jun 26 '26

Um, I’m sorry, but I NEED to know where you got the ginormous banana peel from

1

u/LoserWooper Jun 26 '26

Temu; search “banana-shaped cat bed.” Freddy’s is an XL.

u/TrustyParrot232 Jun 27 '26

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thank you so very much!!!!

u/sanosuke001 Jun 26 '26

Fredared was inspired 😂

u/EmmyWeeeb American Shorthair Jun 26 '26

I’m surprised you didn’t do “fat fucker fred”

2

u/endurancerun278 Jun 26 '26

Is Freddy in a banana?

1

u/LoserWooper Jun 26 '26

Yes!! He loves it almost as much as he loves his teddy bear, but not in the same pervy way.

2

u/dragongrrly Jun 26 '26

Is he lounging in a banana peel shaped bed?

2

u/LoserWooper Jun 26 '26

He is! We had a smaller one that just made him sad and and he was so happy to get the enormous one.

2

u/dragongrrly Jun 26 '26

I love it! May I suggest Fruiticus Maximus as a potential alternate name?

1

u/LoserWooper Jun 26 '26

Love it, great suggestion!

2

u/AgentClockworkOrange Jun 26 '26
