35-pound cat joins adopted family for adorable wedding photos

WASHINGTON — The cat formerly known as Symba has had a busy time since he went viral in June for his eye-popping girth.

The 35-pound orange tabby has since been adopted by a couple who got married on July 8.

Like many wedding guests, the cat, now named Vito, wanted to look his best. His new owners have placed him on a strict diet and a regular exercise regimen.

The newlyweds posed with Vito in a series of photographs taken by Kristi Odom. Vito still has a ways to go to reach a healthy weight, but he looks like he's happy and content in his new home.
