The Humane Society of Arizona collected a cat from its now dead owner, and its matted fur was so extensive that they were originally unsure what sort of animal it was.

After removing 2 pounds of fur, from what appears to be an 8 pound cat, (25% of its body weight!) we can see that it is a cat.

What’s more, some person or persons could see that this 4 year old queen^* was a majestic specimen of the species Felis catus, and adopted her 2 days later.

Her name is “Fluffers.”

^*Queen is a female cat. A male cat is a Tom.
