Escape? Big Chance! Roly-poly cat’s attempt to escape from animal diet center ends in hilarious failure when his belly gets stuck in a shoe rack
- Giant tabby cat tried to escape after just one week of his strict new diet regime
A 37-pound cat, so fat he could barely walk, has failed to escape from an animal diet after becoming stuck in a shoe rack.
Kroshik, Russian for “Crumbs,” was found by staff after he escaped from his enclosure in Perm, Russia, where he spent a week on a strict diet and exercising.
An unfortunate photo shows the ginger cat stuck between the bars of a shoe rack, his belly on the floor and his face pressed into a plastic surgery lump.
The ginger cat was found by zookeepers in the basement of a hospital, eating only cookies and soup.
But now Kroshik must lead a life of diets and workouts as vets try to get him to a healthier weight.
Within a week of being placed under the strict regime, Kroshik gave up and tried to escape

According to rehabilitation specialist Ekaterina Bedakova, his escape attempt is actually a sign that he is slowly improving.
She wrote in a Telegram message on Wednesday: ‘Kroshik… He caused a riot and escaped today. He is already a very active guy.
‘He was extremely disgruntled when we found him disguised as slippers, but… after a portion of food he calmed down again.’
Veterinarians expect Crumbs to lose 70 to 150 grams each week through his fitness regimen.
The plan is for the kitten to eventually reach a much healthier weight of 10 pounds.
The fat cat got his nickname because of his ability to suck up every morsel of food, but he was so obese that he could not walk.
Veterinarians at the city’s Matroskin shelter had difficulty even performing an ultrasound on the stray animal because of his thick layer of fat.
They told local media: ‘Krosik’s story is an extremely rare case of someone who loved a cat so much that he took it to such a state of deprivation.’
Now health care providers are desperately trying to get him back on his feet.
Video footage from the care center shows a sourpuss, who has clearly had enough, being put through his paces on a treadmill.

Crumbs can be seen reluctantly jogging around the track, using a water tank to relieve the pressure on his legs.
Other photos show his stomach shaved to make it easier to dry off after exercise.
What constitutes a healthy weight varies from tabby cat to tabby cat.
According to experts, a weight between four and 4.5 kg is generally a good ‘ideal cat weight’, although this depends on the breed.
Obesity in cats can increase the risk of diabetes and other health problems.
In general, if you can’t feel your cat’s ribs, he or she may be overweight. consultation.
