The "big potat" equals overfeeding and should not be celebrated.

Or is just ridiculously fluffy. My neighbors cat is like that

Yeah, a friend of mine has a Chartreux that looks like this, despite strict diet and all. Some breeds are just naturally plump and fluffy like that.

My farm tomcat is a chonky boy and he gets a scoop of cat food every couple days in the winter.

He's just that good at catching mice. But he's just huge and stocky, not fat... Even though we tease him for being fat

Tomcats also grow stockier because they progress through growth with sexual hormones in them.

A neutered male cat looks different than it would look were it not neutered, they tend to be smaller too.
