Cat Busted With 12,000 Fake Prada Bags
Cat Busted With 12,000 Fake Prada Bags
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Commerce announced the arrest this morning of Mitzy, a cat living in Philadelphia, PA who was allegedly sitting on the top of a multi-state, billion dollar counterfeiting operation. The cat was arrested with over 12,000 fake Prada bags in her possession. The bags have a street value of over $3.5 million.
“Once we got Sammy the Salamander – a street hustler we picked up in Queens, NY last year – to flip on Mitzy, it was just a matter of putting together the resources for a sting,” said FBI spokesperson Wil Quantos.
If convicted, Mitzy faces up to 20 years in prison.

CNN Unveils All-Kitten Election Night Team
CNN Unveils All-Kitten Election Night Team
For the past few presidential elections, 24-hour news network CNN has been known for its Election Night technology. In 2008 the network debuted a studio filled with giant touch screens and contributors beamed in via hologram.
For 2012, CNN is pulling out all the stops. At a press event this morning in the company’s headquarters Atlanta, GA, the network unveiled its Election Night news team.
Gone are mainstays Wolf Blitzer, John King, Candy Crowley and Anderson Cooper – instead, CNN’s 18-straight hours of November 6 news coverage will be anchored by a team of kittens.
“Some might think it an extremely risky move to rely on a group of rookies for such a huge live news event,” said media gazer Ron Calumet, “but I think this is smart for CNN. They need something to energize ratings and kittens are really, really popular.”

Local Cat Scares “the Bejeesus” Out of Herself
Local Cat Scares “the Bejeesus” Out of Herself
A local cat named Winnie apparently gave herself quite a fright this evening. Following a round of post-trick-or-treating ghost stories with friends, Winnie had the house to herself and was getting ready for bed.
According to sources close to the situation, Winnie was about to brush her teeth when the lights in her bathroom flickered causing her eyes to momentarily glow orange in the vanity mirror. Not recognizing her own reflection at first, Winnie reportedly “freaked out” and hid under the bed.
We are told she is now resting easy and counting her Halloween treats to keep her mind off the events of the evening.

Cat Bathroom Attendant Caught Drinking on the Job
Cat Bathroom Attendant Caught Drinking on the Job
Nahla’s job was relatively simple: hang out in the bathroom at the fancy Kit Kat Klub, and hand a towel to anyone who came in to use the facilities. Everything was going well, too. She consistently earned high marks from her employer for friendliness and efficiency and even managed to avoid that workplace bugaboo that most cats run afoul: sleeping on the job.
Then she learned how to turn on the faucet.
“Everything was downhill from there,” said co-worker Ian Marham. Nahla has down been caught four times in the past month drinking on the job and faces dismissal. She’ll appear before the Kit Kat Klub human resources board later this week with her union representative.
