Cat Origami (!)

(Difficulty: 3.5, Cuteness: 11)
by Noboru Miyajima

"I'll trade ya my polydactyl for that li'l one..."

CBC Manitoba reports that Cuetip (below) may be the World's Smallest Cat, eh. The Canadian Cat is nearly a year old, but weighs a mere 0.6 kilograms (that's Canadian for 1.4 pounds)!

Owner Cheryl Arndt is currently collecting for sworn statements on Cuetip's smallness to pass on to Guinness World Records folks.

Arndt, who lives in Pierson, Man., near Virden, got the cat from her horse-trainer in Grenfell, Sask.; she traded for Cuetip with one of her own six-toed kittens.

Second Career for an Undercover Kitty

According to Newsday, Fred, the cat that first inspired CatTastic, is working on degree:

The feline is in the process of being certified as a therapy cat, according to his owner, Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Carol Moran.

Additionally, Fred was honored last week by the Brooklyn District Attorney for his undercover work busting a phony vet.

Save Lewis

It may read like an Onion article, but AP updates the status of the trial of Lewis, the stalking cat. Some highlights:

Neighbors say they have been terrorized by Lewis, saying the cat's long claws and stealth have allowed the cat to attack at least a half-dozen people and ambush the Avon lady as she was getting out of her car.

"I fear for the people on Sunset Circle," Kettman said. "Whenever you go out, you look in back of you to see if there is anything stalking you." (Emphasis Cattastic)

Either Lewis' owner hasn't lived up to her end of an earlier deal or the good people of Sunset Circle are seeing shadows. Consider: "There have been unconfirmed sightings lately of Lewis at 5 a.m."

Feel compelled to do something? Perhaps you'd like to donate to the legal defense fund. Or, if you want to express solidarity add Lewis to your cabal of myspace friends.
