This is from The Onion - I know....a paper that could be considered political, but this is purely "cat" oriented.

I love the bit about Sen. Ruby who spent several hours in front of the Cat Capitol Building, staring at an unknown object.


And the bit about the large cardboard box.

Funny stuff!

The best Onion headline?

Sept 12th 2001, or so...

"Hijackers wake up, astonished to find selves in Hell."

Valium.......catnip........is there any difference?

I wonder...has the Onion had any other cat headlines? Is there an ongoing theme? Is there a cat lover on the staff, maybe?

"The Onion" satire is always first rate and relevant. I don't often lol but I made an exception for this article.

I think there must be. There are too many references that are right on....like "stretching himself to his full length and kneading the carpet"....ohmigosh....this person has a cat....or two....


I love the names, too. "Creamsicle"

Very funny, and definitely written by someone with at least one cat!
