Vegetarian Activist Cat Stages Dinner Protest

The old stereotype that cats love tuna might not be so true anymore. Data from the Animal Behavior Counting Service indicates that many cats are going vegetarian as part of a growing movement among felines to be more health conscious and ethical with their food choices.  Mitsy, pictured above, will eat nothing but carrots for an entire week to raise awareness for the benefits of her dietary lifestyle.

Big-Eared Fox Is Latest Weapon in War on Terror

According to national security experts, the gigantic ears on fennec foxes make them perfectly suited for covert surveillance operations.  That’s why the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense has authorized a $2 billion fund to create and train the new Fox Undercover Reconnaissance Squad (also known by the informal moniker, the FURS).
