3 Ways to Protect Yourself From Kitten Infestation
3 Ways to Protect Yourself From Kitten Infestation
Leave a half-eaten can of tuna on the counter overnight, wake up the next morning, and bam: kittens everywhere.
Kitten infestation is a common household problem, but it can be avoided if you take these preventative measures:
1. Don’t use the catnip-flavored Axe Body Spray. This can attract kittens from miles around.
2. Dispose of empty boxes as soon as possible. Kittens flock to empty cardboard, and it can be tough to remove them, once settled.
3. Turn off your laser light show overnight. Sure, it’s fun to keep those red lasers flashing all night long for the neighbors to see. But chances are you’ll wake up in the morning to a house full of crazed kittens.

Kids’ Game “Duck, Duck, Goose” Deemed Offensive by Bird Rights Activists
The Coalition for Feathered Equality (CFE) released a memo Sunday afternoon calling out the popular children’s game Duck, Duck, Goose as “a derogatory pastime that conveys offensive stereotypes about geese.”
The game, according to the CFE, portrays ducks as calm, patient creatures, and geese as wild, noisy animals bent on revenge. “We need a cultural shift in perception about the goose community, and this game is a barrier to progress with young people,” the memo explains.
