I wonder if they shaved him before or during the shoe rack, and is he eating out of a crock? This seems like a Southpark episode for some reason. Next they're going to say he snuck an amusement park in...

I looked up the full article about his case and they wrote that the shaving happened because he has to walk on a treadmill to help him loose weight. They submerged that treadmill under some water to help ease stress on the poor cat's joints. They also take him getting stuck as a good sign because he used to be so fat he wasn't able to move at all and his attempt at escape is proof that he's becoming more energetic.

Staffers had reportedly fed the portly pet a diet of cookies and soup, which caused him to balloon up to a scale-shattering 37.47 pounds — so heavy he couldn’t even walk.

Wow, that’s awful to read
