Cat Demands to Be Read To
Cat Demands to Be Read To
It turns out that technology cannot quell Simba’s love of reading – or, more precisely, his love of being read to. It doesn’t matter that his books now come with animated pictures, musical soundtracks and interactive games, Simba still enjoys sitting back after a long day of napping and having one of his favorites – Curious George or The Cat in the Hat, perhaps – read aloud.
You just can’t beat the classics.

STUDY: Guests Prefer Candy to Cats
STUDY: Guests Prefer Candy to Cats
Thinking of putting out lovely spread of cats at your next get together? You may want to reconsider. According to a new study from Oberlin College, most people prefer that candy dishes be filled with candy instead of kittens.
“The results really blew us away,” says lead researcher Alvin Supanick. “We weren’t expecting that people would prefer the candy. It points to a really novel entertaining tactic, but we think if people are willing to get by the absurdity here, they’ll find that their guests will be happier.”

Drugstore.com Issues Apology After Sending Cats Instead of Medicine
Drugstore.com Issues Apology After Sending Cats Instead of Medicine
Internet pharmacy and household goods retailer Drugstore.com has issued a formal apology after reportedly sending at least three customers boxed cats instead of the medicines that had been ordered. "We sincerely regret our error,“ read the statement from the company, "and we plan to offer the affected customers full refunds, as well as gift certificates equal to the purchase amount.”
There is no truth to the rumor, however, that the kitties had been mistakenly sent to cat dander allergy sufferers ordering Claritin.

Cat Unhappy with Size of Manhattan Apartment
Cat Unhappy with Size of Manhattan Apartment
When Harold left to try making it in the big city, he knew apartments available in his price range would be small, “but this is ridiculous,” says a source close to the situation. Harold’s tiny studio apartment is reportedly so small he can stretch from one wall to the other quite easily. The sparse accommodations cost him a pittance, and the Greenwich Village location is right in the thick of the action, but Harold is apparently not overly pleased with the paltry size.
But is it worth it? "Oh, undoubtedly,“ says a friend. "Living in New York has always been Harold’s dream. He might not like the space, but it’ll take more than a crappy apartment to stop him.”
