And, true to promise, the cats did tricks.



This one jumped off the table and bolted towards the newsroom while on the air. You've heard the expression "like herding cats?" That's literally what I just witnessed.

I was excited to see trick cats in the Keys. I have to learn about death and misery in Savannah instead.

Are you saying that there are only two genders?!?

Also, shame on everyone for assuming the species of the animal in the photo. Did anyone ask them their preferred species-identification? No, you just saw something which appeared to conform to your own specific idea of what a cat is, and assumed that the animal was a cat.

I firmly believe that if the cat could talk, he/she/it would tell you that you are completely full of ****.

Cats are sensible like that.
