POLL: Cat Shampoo No Better Than Cat Tongue

A poll from Quinnipiac University finds that when it comes to keeping clean, most cats prefer their own tongue to a range of salon-grade shampoos.

“We’ve even tried incorporating that sandpaper texture into one of our conditioners,” says Markus Baer, chief marketing officer at Vidal Sassoon. “No luck.”

Kitten Caught Swindling Tourists in Istanbul

A kitten offering tours to wayward travelers has been apprehended in Istanbul, Turkey. Authorities there say he is not a licensed tour guide, though his scheme generated more than $200,000.

“He seems really cute and trustworthy,” says Fahri Demir, Istanbul’s tourism minister. “But he’ll just take your money and drop you off in a ‘historic alleyway,’ then disappear. It’s bad for our city.”
