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.
It may motivate them and help them with connections to get better. I wish they weren’t exploited to do so, but it’s not my TV programming.
Poor kitty. :(
Obviously his weight was a huge problem and massive threat to his health. But honestly if he had cancer, I don’t know that they would have known before it was too late anyway, even if he was of normal size. That’s the scary part about cancer. It grows silently until it causes noticeable problems and by then it can be difficult or impossible to treat… especially in animals.
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
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¢>”
Honestly…even without the excess weight, I don’t know if the tumors would have been discovered in time. It’s not like you regularly give a cat an ultrasound to screen for cancer. Cancer often grows internally undetected until it’s too late… especially in animals where they do not display outward symptoms of their disease until advanced stages.
Well there goes the smidge of happiness I scrounged up for the day…
Watch this channel then 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2M30ZXeWNo
every day probably thousands of cats (and other animals) are taken in by kind people and given loving lives
Sometimes the world is cruel to shiny things…
That poor cat. :(
Poor baby. They must feel awful.
I must apologize to my cat for calling her chonkee for years. She is no where close to this Chonkzilla.
Obligatory “Oh lawd, he coming”
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.
Maybe it is net cat weight. Cats combined can’t be over 35 pounds.
This is a chungus or a lawd here he comes.
Garfield?
How about we give that cat liposuction instead!!?? :-(
Girl with fat hairy pussy 😺
