A cat found in Vietnam who is believed to tip the scales at more than three stone could be the world's fattest.
Miu, who is thought to weight three stone two pounds, lives in Nam Dinh with his owner 75-year-old Tran Thi Nga.
She bought him 10 years ago as a normal sized kitten after she fell in love with his glossy black and white fur.
But what marked Miu out from other cats was his astonishing ability to eat.
Nga said: 'I was surprised to see how fast he grew. There was one month where he gained nearly a kilogram (2.2 pounds).
By the time Miu reached over two stone, he had become a local celebrity with admirers coming to the house to visit him.
Nga's daughter-in-law, Nguyen Thi Thuy, said: 'He has very good manners. He never steals food and has very good toilet habits.
'He loves his milk and likes to take a bath. Although he's big, he can move easily.
'He even catches rats and jumps up the stairs.'
But Nga has turned down many offers from people trying to buy Miu.
She added: 'He is like a friend, or a son, or a grandson of mine.'
The current world record for the heaviest cat is currently held by German pet Elvis who weighs in at just over two stone.
But if Miu's weight is officially confirmed, he would automatically become the world's fattest cat.
