God damn it, you've got to be kind.

I know that it's been a long and rough road caring for Butterscotch. That cat will never know how lucky they are, but we will.

There is little in life that is more consistent than this cat.

I'm very sorry. I know that I speak for a lot of people when I say that we're grateful for everything you've shared with us, and that we recognize that it was not all laughs. What an incredibly lucky cat, and he will be missed.

From the first page, back in 2016.
OK, so what’s with this Butterscotch fella?
Good question!
This is Butterscotch:
Butterscotch was our house’s first (and hopefully last) foster failure. He is a truly magnificent beast.
When we got Butterscotch he weighed in at 30 pounds. For a domestic house cat, that is a crazy crazy amount of weight. He was formerly the pet of a little old lady who just couldn't help herself from stuffing him with treats 24/7.
Naturally, I needed to share the triumphant story of Butterscotch with my goon community. He found his first online home in the cute pictures thread, but as time grew on I kinda felt that with each post I made in there he was de-railing the thread. They even re-named the thread after him.
Much in the same way that he has overtaken our bed, and our couch, and our kitchen, and most of our free time, he had overtaken a thread. I felt it was time to find him a new home, and when I realized there wasn’t a mega thread for fosters, I thought this would be a good idea.
So while we all post our foster stories and questions, we also are excited about sharing Butterscotch’s journey to a healthy weight with you.
Butterscotch is currently weighing in at 24 23 19 16 15! pounds. Since we’ve gotten him he’s been steadily losing about a pound a month which is the optimal trajectory for obese kitty weight loss. We’re so proud of him!
From now on, Butterscotch updates, videos, and pictures will be posted here, but if you are interested in seeing some of his antics, you can check out my post history in the cute thread here, about halfway down the first page: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3683290&userid=48029
Here are some highlights, for the lazy:
