“Master of Disguise”: Cat’s Hilarious Effort at Hiding Goes Viral

A New York man’s kitty delighted Twitter with a … paw-thetic attempt at becoming invisible. This inspired other pet parents to share their own priceless photos of furry friends’ efforts to hide. 

Jinx the Cat to be Mayor of Hell

Jinx the cat is famous on social media as an unusual-looking rescue, and now is set to be the mayor of Hell, population 72–Hell, Michigan, that is. The wide-eyed, large-pawed feline lives in California with her human, Mia, and presumably did not have to campaign too hard for the job. The township near Ann Arbor offers anyone a chance to be mayor for a day (or even an hour) for $25 an hour. No word on Jinx’s plans to run for higher office.

Where Do Outdoor Cats Go? Not Far…

A study used GPS tracking to follow a population of 100 cats in a small town in Eastern Norway, seeking to discover where indoor-outdoor cats go when they are not at home. Most cats, it turns out, stay fairly close to home: about 50 meters (164 feet) on average, with most not venturing beyond a quarter-mile at their farthest. A very small number were more adventurous and traveled miles from home, but at least in this study, that was the exception, not the rule.

Massachusetts takes in displaced Kentucky kitties

When a series of devastating tornadoes swept through several states in the first week of December, humans weren’t the only ones impacted. Showing solidarity, organizations throughout the country have moved to take in hundreds of at-risk cats and other pets. Here’s the story of one of them.

Kentucky animal-rescue services still need more help

After a major disaster, clean-up isn’t easy. Even before the power gets turned back on or people get back into homes, sometimes it’s difficult to get basics like food and water to people in need. Behind that, a whole separate brigade of humans get to work to make sure that our furry friends aren’t left to suffer in the background. Here’s one other effort underway.

Florida cat learns to speak…

Billi the cat might be extraordinary, or she might just be one of the first cats to have the chance to express their needs in a way humans can understand.

From the article:

Baker’s concerns quickly washed away once it became clear that Billi was able to press the button “food” — which she appeared to enjoy doing perhaps a little too much.

“She was definitely heavy enough for it,” Baker said. “And then I later regretted starting with food because it kind of backfired on me, but it definitely got the ball rolling.”
