‘The Hunger Games’ Still Dominates NY Times Cat Seller List

Despite the meteoric rise of the novel Fifty Shades of Grey, the post-apocalyptic teen parable The Hunger Games remains at the top of the New York Times Cat Sellers list for the 10th week in a row.

“Most cats are not looking for the newest, hottest titles,” says Edith Warring, an editor at HarperCollins. “They want to take their time and enjoy what the rest of the world was reading months ago.”

While most readers have moved on from The Hunger Games phenomenon, trends indicate cats are clinging.

“Also, they’re really slow readers,” explains Warring. “They finish one book a year if they’re lucky.”

Scientists: Cats Are Getting Longer

Evolutionary biologists have aggregated data on cat length from around the world, reaching as far back as 1870.

“What we’ve discovered is that kitties are getting incrementally longer,” says Dr. Randall Morgan, who held back a giggle at the word ‘kitties.’ “It’s unclear if the evolutionary trend is triggered by human activity. But if cats ever do start walking upright within 700,000 years, they will probably be able to play in the NBA.”

Actual scientists could not be reached for comment on this matter.

Kittens Scour Yard for Four-Leaf Clover

A group of kittens out have been out in the yard for the past six hours, tirelessly looking for a four-leaf clover.  

“They just heard that four-leaf clovers bring you good luck.  At first they didn’t believe they were rare, but they’ve been out there all day,” said friend Adam Corliss.  "I tried to tell them it was just an old wive’s tale, but they’re determined.  I’m kinda worried about the heat, to tell you the truth, it’s scorching.“

The kittens have had a few false positives, but haven’t found anything but three-leafers so far.
