Yikes a real life Garfield needs immediate diet....👀

A MONSTER cat weighing as much as a toddler was found living in a basement gorging on biscuits and soup.

The flabby feline - named Crumbs - tipped the scales at nearly 38lbs and was found to be too fat to even walk.

Animal rescuers found him living in the basement of a hospital in Perm, Russia.

He is believed to have piled on the pounds after being fed by the staff.

The fat cat - who bears more than a passing resemblance to the cartoon character Garfield - was so rotund he could barely move.

His new home now plan to shift almost three-quarters of his weight - getting him down to around 10lbs.

Can’t get over how much he looks like Garfield. May-be a tad lighter fur color, but dang he looks like him.

Look how long he is - he's a lot longer than my cat Rotten is. This poor guy's skeleton alone might weigh ten pounds, so trying to get him to that weight won't work. Twenty would be better.
