According to new data from the apartment rental search website Zumper, San Francisco remains the most expensive rental market in the United States. This is in line with previous months and a year-over-year increase of 5-6%. 

Real estate experts in the city confirm the report’s findings.

“More expensive and smaller,” Bay Area real estate agent Corrine Salah told The Fluffington Post by email. “Your housing dollars are really being stretched thinner and thinner in the city these days. Last week I rented this place to an adorable cat couple just getting their first apartment that was about the size of a clothes dryer. Come to think of it, it may have been a clothes dryer.”

The royal cat family of the United Kingdom announced on Facebook that they are expecting a litter of kittens in early May. The Internet, as expected, is suffering a collective freakout at the news.

#RoyalKittens has been a worldwide trending topic on both Twitter and Facebook for the past 6 hours, and Google News shows that over 85,000 blog posts and articles about the news have already. On Tumblr, the announcement picture (above) has over 900,000 notes and rising.

“We’re ecstatic,” said Georgina Bancroft, royal feline editor at the UK’s Daily Telegraph. “I think the royal litter is going to be at least as big as the royal wedding was two years ago. We’ve scrapped our entire planned April editorial calendar and devoting all of our resources to this.”

Authorities are already planning for the large crowds they expect will begin forming at the end of the month at St. Mary’s Veterinary Hospital in London, where the kittens will be born.
