What is the difference between a slonk and a chonk?
- A slonk is a long, and slender cat, such as a Siamese. The name is presumably a blending of the words slink and long, with a k added for effect.
- A chonk is a chunky cat and has been in use since the late 2000s.
One of the most famous chonks is a mackerel tabby domestic shorthair named BJ who was looking for a home in 2019. Weighing in at 26 pounds (11.81 kg), BJ won the heart of the Internet, his post crashed the Morris Animal Refuge by potential adopters.
Slonk and chonk are just two words of many in what is termed DoggoLingo.
