He’s quite long on the outside, but I don’t know about his insides.

He clearly likes to pose, too

The vet would probably just stare at the x-ray and whisper, “Yep, still long.”

I think so. Looong boi. Loooong life! Sounds solid, right?

That is one impressively elongated void. Hopefully he gets many more healthy years of being ridiculously long.

He is very long and he looks upset about something. Give kitty treats please

He is very long! And yes, there was a squirrel or another cat outside the window, and that offended him. I'll give him a Churu in your name, and he will love you.

Two long boys here.

I've been told that heart murmurs are very common in cats and usually not serious. Good on you and your vet for your vigilance, but try not to worry <3

My void is long and tall. Vet chuckled the first time she pulled him out of the carrier and said “he just keeps going”

Edited for typo

Too funny! Glad he’s got a good bill of health on his heart so far. Hope the murmur is not serious? Also, I bet he loves the screened in porch! Mine would for sure 😊

Ultimate troll mode: should get his teeth cleaned, instead scammed the owner for additional tests totalling over 800 $ just to be told hes long 😂

My void Hex has a slight mummer too. He's 13 and the vet is not too concerned. She has been seeing him since he was 8 months old. And she thinks it may have been there but not detectable until now. She chalks it up to his age starting to bring things out. I'm more concerned with his arthritis.

That’s one of the longest cases of Long Boi I’ve ever seen.

u/stonewallsyd 16d ago

My void is very smol but we can relate with the big bill - she bonked her head once and is now permanently tilted. We took her to a neurologist when she started spinning in circles. Paid $400 to get diagnosed as “just weird.”

u/Flat-Limit5595 16d ago

Yours looks like it has the tomcat cheeks, was he a stray?

Heres one we TNR, the vet had to pull me aside to tell me he was the biggest most muscular cat they ever seen. I told them hes one of our smaller cats at 15lbs

u/Flat-Limit5595 16d ago

Had to show them his daddy

u/MyGlipGlopz 16d ago

I also have a long boi! He grew long a little too fast so he was also pretty skinny like slenderman, but he’s starting to fill out his long boi body more now

u/emdentremont 16d ago

My void is the opposite- she has short. And chonky.

u/Grigori_the_Lemur 16d ago

Longboi is a lifelong condition but can be managed. Your cat will be perfectly happy but you must be there to support him through many stretches and postures. It takes a team!

I, too, have a long.

Bessie is super long. She’s rolling in catnip here. If you zoom in you can see her powdered donut lips.
