Poor guy, heartbreaking to see

norimee , (edited )

Aww… he was too chonky to escape chonk camp. Cute, (not so) little chonky Chonk. I hope he learns a lot at camp and comes out a healthy one.

gatorgato ,

Oh, Crumbs…

HauntedCupcake ,

Crumbs is such a cute name, but a little small when he’s the whole loaf

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Shouldve renamed him to baguette

some_guy ,

I’m sorry, but letting your cat get this large is neglect or abuse or both.

Says he’s a rescue. I’m assuming the person who sent him to fat camp isn’t the person who let him become obese.

Grangle1 ,

Right, it would be the place he was rescued from (if a previous owner) that abused or neglected him.

SpaceNoodle ,

Don’t be sorry, it’s true.

Pulsar ,

I guess this cat is not from Springfield, Ohio. They won’t let him get this fat.

People who let their pets get in that conditions should be charged with animal abuse.

BradleyUffner ,

He was a stray living / hiding in a hospital basement if I recall. Staff was feeding without coordinating with each other.

Something like that almost happened to us. There was a stray visiting our apartment building and we feed him a couple of times until the building manager call us telling us that there were already other 3 neighbors feeding him, and that he was taking care so please stop. But he just keep running and crying for food every time we came in to the building.

Tartufo ,

Then again you really should notice long before a cat gets this fat. Unless you turned off your brain or something. This is way too fat to be considered an accident.

Or you put food out in the area and never actually see the cat.

SpaceNoodle ,

No way, man. If that cat wants food, it’s gotta at least pay the cat tax and let me gaze upon it.

I wonder if they shaved him before or during the shoe rack, and is he eating out of a crock? This seems like a Southpark episode for some reason. Next they’re going to say he snuck an amusement park in…

brown567 ,

My guess is that he was very badly matted, so they shaved him at the beginning of “fat camp”

Really obese cats can’t groom themselves well enough, so they get really bad fur mats (especially long-haired cats)

norimee ,

Even more likely since it seems like he was a stray. Seems to me, like he cried at everyone around about how hungry he is and found more than one bleeding heart.

Tartufo ,

I looked up the full article about his case and they wrote that the shaving happened because he has to walk on a treadmill to help him loose weight. They submerged that treadmill under some water to help ease stress on the poor cat’s joints. They also take him getting stuck as a good sign because he used to be so fat he wasn’t able to move at all and his attempt at escape is proof that he’s becoming more energetic.

Forced to run on a wet treadmill, no wonder poor baby tried to run haha! I can’t wait to see his progress

Please don’t consider this an approval of his chonkiness - he is at “fat camp,” which is the obviously right thing to do. Don’t overfeed your pets, people!

I get it! A friend adopted an overweight dog once, whose previous owners let free feed on cat food. Getting her to a healthy weight took a while, and everyone wants to share pet pics.
