SURVEY: Most Cats Still Have an AOL Email Address
Pew Research has found that a whopping 74% of cats still use AOL as their primary email service provider.
“Cats don’t seem to be interested in the modern features of Gmail and such,” says David Round, who conducted the Pew survey. “They really just like the ‘You’ve Got Mail!’ sound.”

Coppola Reboot ‘Catpocalypse Now’ Is a Go, Says Studio
Francis Ford Coppola’s dark, wartime opus Apocalypse Now is considered a masterpiece by some. But many feel it lacks one important element: cats.
That’s why, after 33 years, Zoetrope Studios has finally green lit a reboot that will make this iconic Vietnam War story more accesible to the Internet generation.
“The original film is great, if you like that sort of thing,” says Connor Kidman, who was tapped by Zoetrope to direct the remake. “But it’s very grim, very dirty. There’s not a lot of cuteness or cuddly scenes, you know? We want to bring that to the fore by casting cats in every role.”
Legendary feline actor Mittens has already signed on to play Benjamin Willard, the role originated by Martin Sheen.
“Mittens is a fantastic talent,” says Kidman. “He makes the tension palpable while still bringing the cute. Not every actor can deliver on that.”

Cat Accidentally Shaves Off Half of Mustache
Area cat Stewart suffered a major embarrassment when he accidentally shaved off half of his mustache just minutes before he was scheduled to make a very public appearance in support of Hank, the politically-minded cat running for senate in Virginia.
“We tried to shave off the other side to even it out, but there was no time. They were already introducing him on stage,” said Stewart’s publicist, Jenn Harvey. "Why he was shaving right before he was due to speak at a rally, I’ll never know.“
Despite his silly outward appearance, political analysts say the event was extremely successful in raising support for Hank.

Cat Composer’s 7th Symphony Panned by Critics
Gustav is widely considered one of the 21st century’s pre-eminent feline composers. His “Ode to Yarn” and Symphonies One through Six are revered by critics and fans alike.
“His seventh left me feeling a little hollow,” says Hugh Jansky, music critic for The New York Times, who reviewed debut performance at Lincoln Center. “It just didn’t have the emotional gravity of the first six. I don’t know, maybe it was the cat choir that really ruined it for me.”
