:(
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.
