U.S.: Near the finish line: These cats strike fear in our hearts

  • Meet the uber-evil kitty Kitty, owned by friend of the site David Putney, is perhaps the scariest, most violent cat you’ll ever meet. According to Putney, she was getting agitated because we took so long to actually get her up. Hopefully she won’t claw our faces now.

  • Meet Buster, a.k.a. Mr. Yawny Lucas McCallister sent us this wonderful photo of a cat yawning which somehow makes us never want to be near a yawning cat ever again. Look at those freaking teeth! They could bite off a finger – or kill an unsuspecting mouse or two!

    Buster yawning. Scary.

U.S.: Felines in California, tell your legislator not to pass Senate Bill 250

  • The law would require spaying and neutering of most pets. State Sen. Dean Florez is attempting to push through the law, called The Pet Responsibility Act. The law would require licenses for pets who wanted to keep their junk unaltered. All they want to do is reproduce! Why do you want to take that away from them, Dean? Anyway, it didn’t pass in its first go-round but will have a second coming up soon. If you wanna stay on the prowl, guys, you best show some solidarity! source
