Meet Princess Chunk…Who You Callin’ Princess?!

Whodawhittlepuddytat? This is Princess Chunk, the 44 pound cat abandoned on the streets of southern New Jersey who has become an overnight celebrity. Kelly Ripa is using her entire pilates body to lift that cat. This is her cardio.

Chunk is an overnight sensation, including this morning’s appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly where a veterinarian discovered she is really a he. There’s a lot of rolls on Chunk, we could see how there might be confusion.

Though the Guinness World Records has since dropped the category, fearing cat owners might harm their animals in an attempt to break the record, Chunk is just two pounds shy of fattest cat ever recorded.

So how do you “lose” a 44 lb cat? Prince’s elderly owner has come forward saying she had to abandon her pet after her home was foreclosed. Why didn’t she take Chunk to a shelter or give him to a friend? She’s an idiot.

Shelter volunteers caring for Chunk say hundreds of animal-lovers have called in offering to adopt him. We hope this makes people realize how many great shelter animals there are in need of good, safe homes and they start adopting more.

In the meantime, Chunk will be put up for adoption on Saturday. We hope he finds a wonderful home with a kitty treadmill and a new low-fat diet.
