Kroshik, the 17-kilogram (38-pound) cat rescued from the basement of a Russian hospital, was caught trying to escape his rehabilitation center, a sign that the feline is on the road to recovery.
After being abandoned by his owners, the cat was rescued from a hospital in Perm, where he had been fed crackers, soup, and meat.
Kroshik—Russian for “Crumb“—was so obese that he was unable to walk.
