Big cat update

Princess Chunky is really Prince Chunky and his owner has stepped forward.

The 44-pound kitty was found wandering around a Voorhees, N.J., apartment complex. He is a victim of the foreclosure crisis.

Chunky's owner, who has not be publicly named, is a senior citizen who lost her home to foreclosure, is now staying with friends, and couldn't afford to take care of her two cats.

Read the
Philadelphia Inquirer article that appeared on the Dallas Morning News Web site.

Camden County Animal Shelter officials said that there have been 20 formal applications to adopt the feline.

When found the cat was determined to be a male, but that was later changed — and changed again.

Shelter Executive Director Jennifer Andersch said:
"Is it possible this cat is so dang fat that even though everyone's looking at it things are hidden? It's possible. We keep looking at this cat's behind and it looks like a girl to us. But nothing looks really normal on this cat."
