I think we all have herd about the fat cat from NJ. One of our cats just got weighed at the vets Friday and was 9 pounds, at age 10. 44 pounds is huge, I can;t imagine what it has been eating, but only 2 pounds off the worlds record. Hard to imagine with a cat like that, someone, friend or family would not take in the cat and help a friend in forclosure, but this is becoming very common. The Los Angeles Dept. of animal regulation is advertizing right now the high numbers of forclosures are loading the shelters up. Adopt one if you can or they will be distroyed.
The sad part of this nationwide is we have drives to take in and adopt dogs and cats, but what about the people who ended up homeless, forclosed, and living in their cars? Or worse!

Fat N.J. cat's origins uncovered: He was abandoned Thu Jul 31, 8:46 PM ET
BLACKWOOD, N.J. - A 44-pound cat found lumbering around New Jersey was abandoned by a woman who said her home was foreclosed, an animal shelter official said Thursday.

The porky white cat found Saturday became a local media sensation and was dubbed "Princess Chunk". But the animal is really a male whose name is Powder.
Jennifer Anderch, director of the Camden County Animal Shelter, said Thursday that the cat's owner came forward to describe the animal's background.
Anderch said she's received hundreds of calls from people seeking to adopt Powder.
The cat appeared Thursday on "Live With Regis and Kelly." A veterinarian on the show examined it and determine he was indeed a male.
The largest cat on record weighed 46 pounds, 15 ounces. That cat, who lived in Australia, died in the 1980s. The Guinness World Records has since dropped the category, fearing cat owners might harm their animals in an attempt to break the record. |

| I thought that my cat was big at 11 pounds. Time to put this cat on a diet. |
