One of the world’s fattest cats has had a haircut (which in itself weighed 2lbs) and started hitting a water treadmill in an attempt to turn his life around.

The cat, aptly named King Leo, was found on the side of the road in Nashville, Tennessee weighing 23lbs (that’s the same weight as a bowling ball) and with severely matted hair.

The ten-year-old cat was taken to Cat Shoppe Rescue where he received care, before being adopted by veterinary technician, LaTisha Lampley who gave him a trim and is working on reducing his weight.
