The owner turns out to be a foreclosed homeowner. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424243 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424243 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:43:39 -0500 <p>this cat should end up in a canal street food cart</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424189 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424189 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:13:39 -0500 <p>I love this story. Milk it for all it's worth. More pictures of the fat cat! It's important to keep up with Important Events and what-not, but, god, sometimes the most satisfying news is a story about a 45-pound kitty. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424130 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424130 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:48:49 -0500 <p>I'm not surprised. Prominent jowls like that are normal for adult males of some breeds. Should have been a dead giveaway.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424012 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1424012 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:53:43 -0500 <p>I'm not surprised DUMBO. Overweight humans also have problems identifying their sex as their penis is hidden beneath several folds of flab and butter. An intrinsic mirror apparatus is needed to confirm the existence of the penis. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423969 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423969 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:31:43 -0500 <p>Thanks for doing the shoutout to pet rescue. Princess (or Prince) Chunk's past--an elderly owner, challenges with the care--perfect storm for an overweight cat. Good luck, Chunk. Your flabbitude will probably help other animals!</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423962 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423962 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:29:48 -0500 <p>Meredith, FEED ME!

She is an elderly woman and she couldn't care for him anymore. The woman in the photo, carrying Chunk around, is the foster mom. The shelter will have to wait about a week before Chunk can be available for adoption.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423904 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423904 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:50:49 -0500 <p>I just heard that Princess Chunk is actually a BOY! Apparently there was a vet on Regis this morning, and when he examined "her" he found out she wasn't a female after all.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423868 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423868 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:06:20 -0500 <p>Looks like she would make a nice throw rug.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423822 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423822 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:29:17 -0500 <p>Which fat cat is a bigger waste of space: This animal or the $5 million doorman?</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423817 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423817 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:20:24 -0500 <p>It looks like Princess Chunk has been claimed . . . http://www.omgblog.com/2008/07/omg_shes_been_claimed_princess.php#comments</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423816 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/31/if_the_big_apple_big_enough_for_pri.php#comment-1423816 Comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:19:29 -0500 <p>Chunk can haz cheezburga.
