Turns Out Piano Cat Is A Little Mozart
Legless Kitty Is The Cat’s Meow
What has nine lives but no legs? It’s Kelly Anne, the legless cat! A couple of years ago, Kelly Anne was chased up a tree by some dogs and accidentally electrocuted, so vets in Mobile, Alabama, performed a quadruple amputation on her and nursed her back to health.
These days, the orange and white tabby can scoot around on her furry flippers, though she can’t scratch or groom herself properly. But by all accounts she’s a happy kitty. And she even caught a mouse once (what a pathetic mouse). [Comcast] Keep reading »
Tattooed Cat Thinks He’s Cooler Than You
Is this tattooed cat for real? At first glance, you might think it’s a product of cat Photoshop. But, as it turns out, there is a trend in Russia where people are having their hairless Sphynx cats tattooed. If this is for real? Gross. If this is Photoshopped? Thank the feline gods for that.

Cat Gives Birth To A Dog?!
Yesterday, we discussed dealbreaker pets. Would any of you be opposed to dating someone with a catdog? This woman Georgia claims her cat gave birth to a dog — the little kittypup has the tail and ears of its mommy, but the rest of the body is more dog-like. Shut the front door! Apparently, vets think that the animal’s, um, unusual-ness is more likely the result of radiation, not a dog and a cat procreating; this story is decidedly less adorable now.

Woman Hits The Jackpot Photographing Cats In Wigs
After watching this news report featuring Jill Johnson, a North Texas woman who got a book deal — see: Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Cats in Wigs — after she, a serious photojournalist, started photographing cats, yes, cats, in wigs, yes, wigs, I got really angry at myself. Why didn’t I pursue that idea of photographing cats in wigs back in 2005, when I had it? Now I’m the one with no book deal and no photos of cats in wigs. This is pretty embarrassing. For me. And the cats. I guess I can console myself with the fact that all these cats with wigs smashed on their heads look like they are not fans of Jill Johnson or her photography. Or wigs.

British Cat, Oscar, Wants To Steal Your Underpants
I used to have a cat named Kurtis. He was champagne-colored, rather large, and when he got mad at me, which was not infrequently, he would take random things of mine, say, a stray thong, and put them in his litter box. Now, it seems, Oscar, a cat in Britain — Southampton, to be exact — has a penchant for stealing panties. The 13-year-old feline spends his days breaking into the homes of neighbors from which he nicks rubber gloves, socks, and, most recently, 10 pairs of children’s underpants. “He was very proud that he had found these presents for us and would drop them at our feet,” said Oscar’s owner, Peter Weismantel, 72, who, worried his neighbors would think he was stealing the stuff, reported his own cat to the police. “If anyone is missing any underwear,” Weismantel’s wife, Birgitt, told potential victims, “it would be good to put their minds at rest that it’s only a cat pinching them and not someone more unpleasant.” Good to know one’s missing knickers are in safe paws.

Woman Robs Store Wearing Cat Mask, Catwoman Comparisons Ensue
Where is Batman when you need him? Because New York City has a Catwoman on its hands. This past week, a Manhattan shoe store reported a midday robbery after being held up by a woman wearing a feline mask. A security camera in the store shows that a woman came into the store sans disguise, waiting until later to pounce on the clerk. According to a source, the robber put on her mask and then passed a note to one of the workers demanding, “Give me the money. I have a gun.” The employee complied, giving the woman $83 dollars. Which—lame! But it seems that a feline is not this thief’s only disguise. Police believe the same woman robbed a Body Shop in Queens the following day, this time wearing a large burqa. This theatrical thief has yet to be found, which is understandable when all cops have is a wanted poster that looks like it was drawn up at a costume party. I wonder what costume she will wear next?
