Poor thing

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

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.
