Prince Chunk (also known as Princess Chunk and Captain Chunk, real name: Powder) is a forty-four pound tabby cat (two pounds shy from the World Record). He was found in Voorhees, New Jersey on July 26, 2008 by an elder woman Donna Oklatner who nicknamed him "Captain Chunk", but couldn't afford to take care of the cat due to losing her home to foreclosure.cite web|url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,395297,00.html|title=Fat Cat's Owner Found; Lost Home to Foreclosure|date=2008-07-31|work=FOXNews.com|accessdate=2008-07-31] He is currently with Camden County Animal Shelter volunteer Deborah Wright.cite web|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/state/new_jersey/26137629.html|title=Vet: 44-pound cat is a he; real name 'Powder'|date=2008-07-31|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|accessdate=2008-07-31]

According to the "Guinness World Records", the largest tabby cat was forty-six pounds and fifteen ounces.cite web|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/state/new_jersey/26137629.html|title=Vet: 44-pound cat is a he; real name 'Powder'|date=2008-07-31|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|accessdate=2008-07-31] Since then, they have dropped the category to prevent possible harm to cats.

He has made television appearances as on "Live with Regis and Kelly", "Today", "Good Morning America", Fox News, and MSNBC.
