His owners say that despite his 31-inch girth, the 9-year-old fat cat is actually in good health.

However, he does need help getting around.

The cat's owner helps him climb into bed and even wraps the cat in his very own blanket and pillow.

Veterinarians warn that obese animals are susceptible to a range of illnesses, including kidney trouble and diabetes.
