Past a certain age, cats tend to develop that specific physique as they lose muscle tone — usually around 17 or 18 years old. By that point they probably also have arthritis making grooming more difficult/painful, which can contribute to the “mangy” look of their fur. Of course, age itself also affects the fur in various ways including thinning and changes in luster/texture. It’s also very common for senior cats to have some sort of kidney disease, which can lead to dehydration that further affects the fur.
“These old bones remember the anchient times. Fields of grass and mice, warm sun and sallow skies. Many a friend and foe, squabbles and petty fights. The thrill of the kill, or grumbling aching hunger.”
“These old bones are soon to make their last.”
“But yes, I’ll enjoy your fanciful flightless fowl once more… Eh- light on the fire-mouth powder this time, please”
Why does your cat look like that?

At that point just give him the chicken
Him deserve
Not my cat, but I believe they’re an ancient fellow.
Only cats I’ve seen that look like that are usually well over 15 edit: 2 fantastic senior voids from a community I watch over
That bottom one is done with people’s shit
He looks like Walter White has been badgering him to take out his boss for the 1000th time
That would explain why they look just over this whole “being alive” thing.
