"Glee's" very own Kurt Hummel recently adopted a senior shelter cat, and yesterday the star gave an update on his new addition while visiting the set of "Live with Kelly!"

Colfer revealed that Brian, 8, suffers from a distorted body image, and has a penchant for squeezing into places where he doesn't belong, joking, "He's a little bit in denial about his size. He thinks he's very, very small, so I go home and find him stuck in all kinds of things." When guest co-host Jimmy Kimmel asked if he had tried putting the 22 lb. puss on a diet, the star replied, "I did, but he kept breaking into the food."

Chris announced that he adopted Brian from the West Valley Animal Shelter in Los Angeles on Twitter last month, while also urging fans to consider rescuing animals in need. In addition to the the shapely feline, the animal lover also shares his pad with a pup, along with two other lucky cats.

Looks like Lord Tubbington has some competition!

Lea Michele and Jane Lynch aren't the only "Glee" cast members with a soft spot in their hearts for kitties. Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt Hummel on the musical series, took to Twitter yesterday to announce his latest project: Welcoming a shelter cat named Brian into his home.

Chris tweeted: "I adopted a cat today from the West Valley Animal Shelter! His name is Brian, he's 8 years-old and 20 pounds!" Hoping to encourage others to do the same, he continued, "It was heartbreaking to see so many sweet animals needing homes. Please think about rescuing!"

When fan @tracy_mom220 asked, "why did u name it Brian? We are all curious!" the congenial star responded, "That was his name, I would have named him Freud or Poker."

Colfer also made it clear that his relationship with the handsome tabby is more friendly than familial. When another follower congratulated him on being a proud papa, the 21-year-old actor quipped back, "Oh no! He's a roommate, I'm too young to be a Daddy."
