He was stuck between a rack and a hard place.
A fat cat’s attempt to escape a diet center backfired horribly after the flabby tabby got trapped in a shoe rack.
The feline, named Kroshik (Russian for “Crumbs”), was discovered by staff attempting to break out of the center in Perm, Russia, where he had been sentenced to a strict workout regimen and food rationing, Newsflash reported.
For reference, most domestic cats should weigh around 10 pounds, health experts say — though size can vary depending on the breed.
“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.
In an attempt to get Crumbs down to a normal weight, shelter employees put the mammoth feline on a pound-shedding pilgrimage that included a new diet and regular treadmill workouts.
For the latter exercise, they put the puss in a water tank to lessen the strain on his joints, as seen in photos of him reluctantly walking on the subermeged contraption.
Employees even shaved Crumbs’ tummy to make him easier to dry following his aquatic aerobics sessions.
