His carers said on Sunday: ‘Yesterday Kroshik suddenly fell ill. He started to choke. Until that moment, doctors had not noticed any signs of shortness of breath in him.

‘We took action immediately; Within half an hour Kroshik was already in the oxygen chamber.

‘His condition started to get worse. And even doctors’ efforts to resuscitate him could not help him. He was not alone when he died. Until his last breath, the best doctors fought for his life.’

Veterinarians said that the cat had ‘multiple growths on the spleen and metastases in other internal organs’, but the exact cause of death would only be known later.

Kroshik had become a global celebrity for following a strict diet and exercise routine at the fat burning center.

Caretakers on social media: ‘For a long time we could not understand the reason for such incredible popularity of Kroshik, because somehow we did nothing to attract the media to the story….

‘Later we realized that people all over the world were so tired of the bad news… We rejoiced with you in every victory of Kroshik and appreciated his every step.’

They concluded: ‘Sometimes miracles don’t happen. Sometimes even the strongest cats can’t handle it.’

Korshik lived in the basement of the Perm hospital, where he is believed to have resided after being abandoned by his owners.

Once rescued, he faced a life of diets and exercise as vets tried to get him down to a healthier weight of 10 lbs.

Rehabilitation specialist Ekaterina Bedakova said that her attempted escape from the fat-burning camp was actually a sign that she was slowly recovering.

Video footage from the care center showed the cranky man pacing on a treadmill, looking visibly fed up.

Crumbs, who uses a water tank to relieve the pressure of his size on his leg joints, was seen reluctantly running around the track.

Other photos showed how her stomach was shaved to make it easier for her to dry off after her workout sessions.

Tabby cats’ weights that can be considered healthy vary.

Experts say 7 to 12 lbs is generally a good weight for a cat, although there are variations by breed.
