38-Pound Cat Rescued After Being Fed a Diet of Cookies and Soup

 

Often, homeless and stray animals must survive on whatever they can find - or are given by humans - to eat.  That was the case for Kroshik, a Russian cat found living in the basement of a hospital who was surviving on a diet of cookies and soup.  Kroshik, which translates to "Crumbs," weighed a shocking 38 pounds when he was rescued, and he was unable to walk because of it.  [...]

Cats Basically Are a Liquid After All, Study Confirms

 

If you've ever lived with a cat, you've seen the way they ooze and spill and flow, like a small ambulatory fur puddle.
