:(

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

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.

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.
