Two years ago, a 44 pound cat was found wandering the streets of
New Jersey. He was recently diagnosed with heart problems and
only yesterday he passed away. He had been adopted by the Damiani
family, and the pictures reveal that he was much loved and
that he fitted in well with the other cat. He had lost weight, now coming in at 22 pounds. He was estimated to be about twelve years of age when he was found.Thanks to the family for taking him in and giving him such a good home. Prince Chunk was so beloved that his death has been noted on numerous news papers around the world. There is even a Wikipedia page devoted to him. On this day, where we stand on the brink of another war, it's nice to reflect on the joy that animals can bring into our lives.
I had a really fat cat, he was about 15 plus lbs. He was such a grump and came cross as a dignified old man. I miss him a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad when they go. My Lumpy was 26 pounds before he got cancer. He lost some weight after the surgery to remove the tumour (and I lost a lot of cash), but he's doing okay. As he'd been a starving stray when he showed up, he never stopped eating. They didn't know for sure how old he was when he showed up (it was a guess), but he's probably about 15. Right now he's waiting for more food before I try (with the help of Gravol, so that I can get up tomorrow and visit Mom) to get to bed.
