Poor thing
It’s not right to let them get this big, hope he got healthy

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.

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.

That poor cat. :(

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 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

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’m not sure why you’d need a fat camp for a pet. Just feed them slightly less and they lose weight
-
A pet doesn’t get fat on its own. It’s about separating the pet from the abusive owner.
-
If you have multiple pets that can be harder than it sounds. And if you don't have a ton of money the good solutions (e.g. locked feeders with RFID tags) can be pricy.
-
It doesn't completely work that way, just like for humans. Sometimes feeding pets less is just subjecting them to pretty severe discomfort and hunger, while their metabolism is deciding that food is scarce so they better hoard every calorie they can spare. I know it's significantly urgent to help them lose weight because of the health impacts, but IDK that it is super simple once you've decided to try to make it happen.

Garfield?

This is a chungus or a lawd here he comes.

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.

How about we give that cat liposuction instead!!?? :-(
