Cats overran house





















Norwegian authorities confirmed Thursday that they had to destroy nearly 90
cats after their owners "lost control" over how many pets they could care for.


The cats had all but taken over the owners' home.
The cats' owners "simply lost control over the animals, and they reproduced freely.

A big yawn


This is the typical response when I try to lay out for people why they need to be concerned. It is really simple in my simple mind.

Why cats always land on their feet















A long time ago, long before humans, the cats rouled the world along with the other animals. One day a magic mouse from outer space came to Catalonia, as they called their planet. The mouse introduced its magic skills to the animals, and they were amazed.
They begged and pleaded the mouse to teach them how to do the things it did. The mouse said that it would give one species one single skill, and that the animals had to decide who would get it. This caused serious disruption in the kingdom and no one knew how to decide who would get the skill. But one day one of the cats came up with the most ingenious idea the rest of the animals had ever heard. The idea was to have a knowledge competition, and one representative from each of the different species was asked to attend at the competition. But there was a downside If you lost, you and yours would be banned from the kingdom forever.
For this reason only two animals decided to join the competition. The two animals were the cat that came up with the competition idea and a dog named Skip. On the day of the competition Skip was sick, so the cat automatically won! When the magic mouse was going to give the power to the cats,which was to fly, he made a mistake and gave them another skill, to always land on their feet. And they’ve been doing it ever since!

2. They rarely listen to you.
3. They're totally unpredictable.
4. They whine when they are not happy.
5. When you want to play they want to be alone.
6. When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7. They expect you to cater to their every whim.
8. They're moody.
9. They leave hair everywhere.
10. They drive you nuts.

Conclusion: They're like little, tiny women in cheap fur coats.

Cat survived weeks inside van

Skinny and tired, Stripi the cat is back in the arms of her nine-year-old owner, after apparently getting trapped inside an abandoned van that later was snowed under during one of the winter's many storms.
Filip Gran, from the Norwegian town of Ramnes, is thrilled to have Stripi back. His cat disappeared about four weeks ago and only reappeared when neighbors heard some mournful meowing coming from the snowed-in vehicle.
Stripi also was a rather fat cat, and clearly lived on her own reserves. Now she's slowly being given small portions of food, has found her place back on Filip's bed and seems just fine.
