Poor thing
It’s not right to let them get this big, hope he got healthy
:(
A normal cat weights around 4kg. Crumbs weighted at most 17kg. That's a little over 4 times the normal weight.
An average weight for an average person is 70kg. 4 times the normal weight for an average human would be 280kg
That's 617lbs for the Americans. And wouldn't you know it, we have a whole show about that. 152 episodes.
Wow, I've seen posts about the here and there. I've got such mixed feelings about it. I mean it's interesting and good to spread awareness. But it feels wrong to make entertainment from sick people.
the sick aren't going to magically get better from not laughing at them
Aww poor little guy.
Those irresponsible owners. Cats can suffer from cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes too.
The chonky kitty was existing on a diet of cookies and soup when his pudgy plight was discovered, Newsflash reported.
It’s believed that hospital staff enjoyed feeding him to the point where things went more than a little overboard.
“Kroshik’s story is an extremely rare case when someone loved a cat so much that they fed him to such a state,” a spokesperson for the Matroskin Shelter in Prem explained.
irresponsible? i can't see how a cat can get that large without being deliberately force fed
One of mine would absolutely get herself to this state if you let her. It would take a couple years
I used to volunteer at a pound and there was one fat orange cat named ruffles. He was not nearly as fat as this guy, just a bit chonky. He was SUPER sweet and one day I came back and he was gone
as in he got adopted, but I didn't get to say goodbye :(
Your two souls are intertwined for eternity now. A goodbye wasn't necessary.
What a beautiful thing to say
Your post makes me think of a childhood movie song, you and your chonky bud just staring at the moon every night: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5jl8mzCaCr0
Obligatory "Oh lawd, he coming"
I must apologize to my cat for calling her chonkee for years. She is no where close to this Chonkzilla.
This is a chungus or a lawd here he comes.
Follow up story I found: World's fattest cat dies after going on a harsh diet | Al Bawaba
Contrary to what the headline implies, Crumbs didn't die from the weight loss program, rather from tumors which weren't detected in time due to the excess weight. Rest in peace Crumbs! 🐱
Edit: typo
*lifelong friend dies of medical complications *
News agencies: "<friend> dies after spending a lot of time with <me>"
I once rented an apartment that explicitly banned cats over 35lbs. Either the person who wrote it doesn't know how units/cats work or there is a story there that I really want to hear.
I’m not sure why you’d need a fat camp for a pet. Just feed them slightly less and they lose weight
Some times the owner has mental health issues.
Abusers having psychiatric problems does not absolve them of their abusive behaviour.
...no shit?
A pet doesn’t get fat on its own. It’s about separating the pet from the abusive owner.
