I love tomcats big cheeks, sad that they go away once they get neutered :(

Roni used to have some big cheeks when his previous owner surrendered him to the shelter.

though it's kinda hard to tell on photo since he's gained some weight since we got him

also dodo gifs

Depends a bit on the timing. If they are neutered late, they sometimes keep the cheeks (on top of being prone to behavioral issues). Ours was neutered when he got to the shelter at 3yo, and he's a cheeky bastard alright.
