Cats Get Together to Watch NBA Finals
Cats Get Together to Watch NBA Finals
When Spike, Ted and Muffin discovered they all love basketball, Muffin invited his pals over to watch game three of the NBA finals.
The series between the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder is tied one to one, and the cats are split. Spike and Ted are squarely in the Heat’s camp, while Muffin is partial to the Thunder (though his home team is the Denver Nuggets). They anticipate an amicable viewing party.
“As long as they’re watching on Muffin’s 50” plasma, they’ll be fine,“ says Neil Beckler, a family friend.

Puppy Determined to Register .Kitties Domain Name
Puppy Determined to Register .Kitties Domain Name
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has released a list of the entities vying for new top-level domains. Many brands are hoping to own their trademarks (.pepsi, for example), and registrars are going after generic terms that they can sell (like .pizza).
But a puppy named Harold is determined to acquire .kitties, and sources say he may not be interested in selling registrations to others.
“He’s expressed repeatedly that if he ever gets that domain, he wants to control it,” says Luke Burner, the puppy’s former business partner. “He’ll probably just create domains like stupid.kitties and lame.kitties. It’s pretty juvenile, but he is a puppy after all.”
Harold’s application for the top-level domain (which cost him $185,000) is currently being reviewed by ICANN.

Missing Cat Found Alive in Amazon Rainforest
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.”
