China: Chubby Cat Squeezes Into Bag, Becomes a “Pillow”

On December 9, 2025, in Henan, located in central China’s Henan province, a video captured a chubby cat squeezing into a white transparent non-woven bag. As the cat settled inside, the bag ballooned into a rounded, cushion-like shape. From the outside, the filled bag looked like a plump tabby pillow resting on the floor. The cat’s body pressed against the sides, stretching the material into a smooth, firm surface. The owner laughed while opening the bag to let the cat out and joked to Chinese netizens that this was a simple way to “make” a fat-cat pillow at home. Viewers commented that the cat’s size made the effect especially convincing.
