Whitney Way Thore, star of “My Big Fat Fabulous Life,” recently took to social media to express her deep affection for a very special man in her life. While she cherishes the love and support of her father, brother, and ex-boyfriend, it was her cat, Henchi, who she proudly showcased on Instagram.
Henchi, a fluffy and affectionate orange cat, captured the hearts of Whitney’s followers as she shared a photo of him alongside her other kitty.

Many fans shared their own stories of their love for animals and mentioned that seeing Whitney’s cats on “My Big Fat Fabulous Life” is their favorite part of the show. The outpouring of love for Henchi was a much-needed boost for Whitney, especially amid recent attacks from online trolls.

Some viewers found this gross and questioned her response to online trolls. Despite the negativity, Whitney continues to find solace in the unwavering support of her loved ones, including her furry companions.
Amid the challenges and attacks, Whitney’s bond with Henchi serves as a reminder of the unconditional love and joy that pets can bring into our lives. Henchi holds a special place in Whitney’s heart, providing her with comfort and companionship throughout her journey.
