Princess Chunk Needs a Home...And a Diet

Princess Chunk, a 44-pound cat from New Jersey, was found wandering waddling around the streets of Blackwood this weekend. She's only 2-pounds shy of the Guinness World record. Here's hoping she doesn't get it. Read more about Princess Chunk here and here.

This cat has to have a family and one that loved and fed her all the time. I hope the owners have been looking for her and will see her picture and come to her rescue. What a beautiful cat she is! Good luck kitty!!

Re: Gena's comment: Are you out of your mind?

That animal is freakishly obese. No one who loves an animal lets it get that fat.

Do you feed your kids until they have BMIs in the low 40s to show how much you love them?

It's being reported that this cat was dumped on the street after the owner defaulted on his or her mortgage. To abandon a cat that can "neither fight nor run" to the street rather than a shelter seems to me to be a very evil thing to do. I hope kitty has a nice home and a healthy reducing programme in her future.

You are all ignoring the obvious truth. This cat ate its original family and then went looking for new victims.

Why does this white cat have an orange tabby's tail?

Just strange or photoshop?

Kerry: The terrifying secret is that this is actually a 22-pound white cat that ATE a 22-pound orange tabby!

"Why does this white cat have an orange tabby's tail?"

He's crapping it.

Princess Chunk may be a Turkish Van - colored tails and ears, white body, and big.

Look out, president Obama will tax all the Fat Cats.

Nora:
If you click on the link to the NY Post article (the last word in the posting) you can see another picture of the cat that more clearly shows its ears to be the same color as the tail.

That breaks my heart. I hope that cat (1) get placed into a kind/compassionate home where (s)he is loved and cared for and (2) receives very good veterinary care because this is a complete health crisis that needs to be addressed immediately.

The kitty has to lose weight in a closely monitored GRADUAL manner because cats whose owners attempt to slim them down too quicky are highly susceptible to getting a "fatty liver" (feline hepatic lipidosis) which can cause liver failure and death. I hope whomever takes "Princess Chunk" in is aware of that and deals with the situation appropriately. That poor cat needs some true TLC (which does not involve food!)

*Okay. Now off soapbox. End of rant. Good luck, kitty!

Princess Chunk shouldn't have a problem finding a new home. There's plenty of Chinese resturants in Jersey

Not engaging in unprotected sex will greatly reduce the likelihood of infection with HBV. While the risk of sexual transmission of HCV is rare, protected sex is recommended if a person engages in anal sex, has multiple sexual partners, has ­frequent prostate infections, has open cuts or sores on the genitalia, or is menstruating. People with hepatitis B or C should avoid sharing anything that may contain even the tiniest amount of their blood, including toothbrushes, razors, and nail clippers.
