Missing Cat Found Alive in Amazon Rainforest
An Atlanta, GA cat named Kili, who has been missing for three years, was found alive in the Peruvian rainforest on Sunday. Rescuers identified the kitty by his distinct markings.
“We’ve been following his trail since 2009,” says Darren Cassidy of the Pet Rescue Network. “Seems he chartered a boat from Florida, landed in Brazil and headed into the Amazon from there.”
Kili was in fine health, according to Cassidy. “His survival skills are excellent. We found a little hut made from vines and canopy leaves. There was plenty of food, too. He didn’t really want to leave.”

Cat Grows Old-Timey Mustache for Charity
Cat homelessness is a cause near and dear to Maximus’s heart. The altruistic kitty began growing a mustache on Thursday in solidarity with those who have fallen on hard times.
“He asked all his friends to support him and donate 50 cents for each day he keeps the ‘stache,” says Mark O’Dell, Maximus’s friend and roommate. “So far, he’s raised $4. Yeah, he doesn’t have a ton of friends.”

According to sports experts, the United States’ synchronized cuteness team competing in the cat division at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England this summer have a real shot at winning a gold medal.
The team, which won silver at the World Championships last fall, have really coalesced as a unit since then. “They’re gelling at the absolute best time,“ said Joel Hollenbeck, the cuteness analyst for NBC Sports. “If they’re as cute in London as I have seen them in practice the last couple of weeks, there’s no doubt in my mind they’re the team to beat.”
The US is expected to face its stiffest competition from the Scottish team, whose all-Fold squad is always a hit with judges and the media.
