Move Over Prince Chunk, Yoda The 4-Eared Cat is The New Animal Celebrity

  Share This Story

Prince Chunk, the 44-pound homeless cat, found instant fame and a new home. The chubby kitty made the rounds of all the morning TV shows, but his fifteen minutes of fame is over.

Move over Prince Chunk, Yoda the cat with four ears is the feline celebrity of the moment.

"The owners of Yoda - a cat with four ears - could use a couple extra hands to answer their telephones.

Ted and Valerie Rock said they've been inundated with television offers and media inquiries since their son posted a photo of their smoke-colored cat on a Web site. That turned the four-eared feline from a suburban animal oddity into an instant Internet celebrity." Associated Press

Prince Chunk's new owners have put him on a diet, and he will eventually lose the lard that's his only claim to fame. But Yoda will always have his attention getting four ears.

Yoda is a cute cat who doesn't look like a freak, his ears are symmetrical. Some folks say that his four ears make him look devilish, but a cat doesn't need four ears to make him look like he's up to no good.

Americans love their pets and we can't get enough of cute and usual cats. I hope we will soon be seeing Yoda on all the morning talk shows.
