Despite Odds, Cat Reaches Healthy 2nd Birthday

When Curious George was just a kitten, vets learned that he had a broken pelvis.

“The poor wee thing was still managing to run and jump around on it!” says his foster parent Amie Whiting of Christchurch, New Zealand. “The vets were pretty adamant that he was going to be put down, but we said, ‘no way!’ ”

After two months in a crate with as little movement as possible (“Seriously, try keeping a 3-month-old spastic kitten in a cage!” says Whiting.), his bones had knit, and he was finally healed.

“Celebrating George’s second birthday after he was destined to be put down is pretty awesome, especially because he is such a kooky, weird little dude.”

Critic: Cat’s Overacting Ruins Play

Drama critic Bill Roann has a bone to pick with the performance of Casper the cat.  In a review he recently penned for The Oregonian newspaper in Portland, OR, the critic wrote: “In what was an otherwise delightful little play, Casper’s performance was contrived, melodramatic and exaggerated to the point of near unwatchability.  Casper dragged what would have been a relatively easy play to recommend down into the dregs of mediocrity.”

Casper’s agent, Tracy Landis, had a diplomatic, if slightly biting response when reached for comment.

“I’m not sure what play Mr. Roann was watching, but he is certainly entitled to his opinion,” she said.  "Casper has been an institution in the Oregon theater scene for the past 18 months.  He has received numerous accolades, and no other reviewers seem to have a personal problem with him the way Roann apparently does.“

Elderly Cats Learn to Use Webcam

To the delight of Internet users everywhere, two adorable elderly cats named Gizmo and Chihiro had trouble figuring out how to use their new webcam.  The entire thing was recorded and uploaded by friend Jay Martinez.

“The whole exchange is just hilarious,” said Martinez.  "They just keep staring into the camera and trying to figure out how to turn it on, all the while broadcasting the entire thing online!“

Martinez said he uploaded the video to YouTube because he thought it was cute and funny, not to make fun of his friends.  He said Gizmo and Chihiro thought it was funny too, once they were let in on the joke.

Cat’s Knitting Is “Getting Better”

Ruffles the cat loves to knit, and reportedly, he is getting better at it. Friend say that Ruffles’ knitting skills have markedly improved since joining online knitting community Ravelry.com.  

“He usually knits a good 3 hours per day, in between naps,” said roommate Diego Aceves. “He’s getting better, I guess… but I just know he’s going to give everyone ‘scarves’ for Christmas.  Again.”
