"I won't feed her table scraps because I have a funny feeling that's what it's been fed. The cat doesn't seem unhealthy at all. You can tell she is carrying weight, but I am going to start taking her out on walks but have to get a dog harness first."Philly.com: Here kitty, kitty..S.J. officials seek owner of 44-pound cat (July 29, 2008)_mdash;Deborah Wright, Camden County Animal Shelter volunteer
