REPORT: 70% of Cat Architecture Does Not Meet Code
REPORT: 70% of Cat Architecture Does Not Meet Code
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development released a report Tuesday that finds a whopping 70% of cat-built homes and office complexes are not up to Federal safety codes.
The news has rattled the cat contractor industry, which is still recovering from the housing crisis of 2008.
“This kind of fear mongering will only kill jobs,” says Orlando Seawell, attorney for the Feline Contractors Union. “It’s classic government overreach.”
But the USDH views it as a serious safety issue. “We’re talking about really shoddy work here,” says Melinda Caster, the Department’s press liaison. “Townhouses made of cardboard? They wouldn’t survive a brisk wind, let alone an earthquake.”

New Jersey Cat Reads ‘Moby Dick’ Twice in One Sitting
A cat named Charlie (full name: Charles Xavier Scotch Whiskey Ted) is a lover of 19th century literature and a speed reader to boot. He settled in with Herman Melville’s classic Moby Dick on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed it so much, he started it over again.
By 10:30 pm, he was done, and sources close to the situation say he got even more out of it on the second read.

Weaponized Cat Escapes From Canadian Lab
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has issued a nationwide alert that a cat with laser eyes has escaped from a Toronto testing facility and is currently unaccounted for.
The weaponized cat prototype – dubbed “Micro” – was a bio engineering breakthrough for the Canadian defense department until he got loose and began shooting lasers at scientists and civilians. While there have been a few serious injuries, there are no reported deaths.
The fast moving feline could be anywhere in the Toronto metro area, and citizens have been advised to report any sightings or abnormal cat activity to authorities.
