Get a Stuffed Clone of Your Cat!

Leave a reply

Want a stuffed clone (stuffed animal version) of your cat? Now it’s possible!

It’s kind of expensive, but also a really cute idea. You can get a stuffed animal version of your cat, just by sending in a photo. See the story here. The actual business is called Cuddle Clones. All you need are photos of your cat from different angles. This might also make a cute surprise gift for someone!

The idea behind this is making a “clone” of your pet after the pet has passed away. But can’t you see this being a cute gift for someone, or even yourself? (If you have the money, that is.) What do you think of the idea?

Law gone wrong: Elderly man jailed for feeding cats

Leave a reply

This one just seems so unfair. 🙁 In February, news broke about an elderly man jailed for feeding cats. He was 76, lived in Texas, and fed some stray cats… And he went to jail.  What the heck?! Don’t we have anything better to do with our time?

He spent nine days in jail because he wouldn’t pay a $900 fine for feeding stray cats. The mayor argued that laws against feeding strays are important to keep the number of strays down. But really? This city’s answer to the stray population is STARVATION?

Hmm… I can think of a few better solutions. Like adopting them out (or, if they’re feral, adopting them to farm owners who need barn cats to keep down the mice population.) Oh, and maybe instituting a Trap-Neuter-Release program?

There’s an interesting Reddit thread on the topic where you can read a lot of discussion (23 comments’ worth) along with pros and cons. But for me, this article just makes me sad. What do you think? Leave a comment below and let me know.

Mark Your Calendar for Uber Kitten Delivery Day

We’re crossing our fingers that it happens again! On National Cat Day (October 29), Uber often sets up services in cities throughout the U.S. where it delivers kittens for playtime. I’m not kidding! How awesome is that? Just check out this story.

Last year, the partnership teamed up Uber, Cheezburger, and the ASPCA to deliver adoptable kittens to 7 cities in the US. We’re hoping that the number expands this year! But why should you mark it on your calendar when it’s soooo far away? Well, it’s first-come, first-served and last year Uber ran out of deliveries in some cities!

So seriously, mark your calendars and be one of the people to get a delivery this October. Can you imagine anything better that could brighten your day? 🙂
