Blue cats are known to eat a lot. They can eat almost all the time as long as they don't have digestive problems. Moreover, some shit shoveling officers are even more deliberate in order to let their blue cats gills as soon as possible, not only feeding high-fat food for granted, but also artificially enticing blue cats to eat more and more.
Blue cats, on the other hand, are mild-mannered and less active than other breeds.

Some blue cats are not even willing to make a noise and lose their temper, let alone the delusional of walking the cat.
Because these blue cats consume a lot of energy but do not have enough exercise consumption, getting fat is inevitable.
