  • Despite losing 7 pounds at a veterinary center in Perm, Crumbs developed breathing issues and died on October 26.
  • Vets discovered that cancerous tumors, hidden by Crumbs' excessive fat, likely caused multiple organ failure.
  • The cat's caretakers expressed heartbreak, noting that his excess weight had obscured critical health scans.
  • A post-mortem examination is pending to determine if Crumbs' death was due to his weight or the tumors.
