Foreclosure affects all of us, BIG and small
July 31, 2008
Just when you thought the slumping housing market couldn’t sink any lower, a member of U.S. royalty has been victimized. Well, feline royalty, at least.
A 44-pound New Jersey cat who has been dubbed “Princess Chunk” was found wandering around the Garden State, apparently abandoned by her owner — whose house was foreclosed upon. Soon after hitting the media circuit and schmoozing with Regis, the cat was discovered to be a male, i.e. Prince Chunk, and his real name was revealed as Powder.
On top of the housing crisis that “Princess Chunk” is struggling with, much like the rest of the nation, it seems he also is facing an obesity and identity crisis.
Overweight, without a home, trying to cope with self-image in a superficial society. Is this the new face of our struggling nation?
