Some folks took a different approach to getting a litter of kittens adopted. No kitties were harmed in the process!

Do you remember the carnival game Whack-a-Mole? Where you hit the toy moles popping out of burrows? Well, replace those little guys with real-live kittens, and you’ve got Whack-a-Kitty!

It’s not as horrific as it sounds. It is merely a video stunt uploaded to Youtube to help get some of the cats adopted. As of today, the creator wrote:

“We had a lot of fun making this video and so did the kittens. If anyone is interested, we still have one male kitten and the mother cat available for adoption. We are looking for good homes. Please contact me for more info.”

Just watch the video and try not to want one:

BALTIMORE, MD – A new GPS software program is being offered, which alerts any car driver to the presence of nearby Phantoms of the Opera.

Phantom Alert claims to warn drivers if their intended route is taking them by any known haunts of a Phantom of the Opera. The program depends on drivers reporting sightings to the company, who then builds a database of all known hot spots to be sent to customers’ GPS systems.

Raoul Fenway, CEO of Masquerade, International, explained, “We’ve seen a huge uptick in Phantom sightings in the past year. We believe this is due to the recession. Plays are closing across the country and the Phantoms of these failed productions seem to have gone astray.”

When asked if the Phantoms are dangerous, Raoul replied, “Oh no no. We just want to help drivers avoid collisions. The masks impair their vision, so the Phantoms tend to wander in despair into oncoming traffic. But they’re easy to avoid if you can spot them.”

Fenway said his company is currently in the works on a number of new GPS systems, such as ones that detect cats, foul-mouthed puppets and murderous chorus girls.

LOS ANGELES, CA – Following a New Year’s telethon for pets in need, Tonya The World’s Fattest Cat had a falling out with co-host Ricky Gervais.

Gervais has come under fire this week for comments he made on the telethon and in recent stand-up routines about “fat people” that some people think are going too far.

Calling overweight people “lazy pigs,” Gervais has asserted that obesity is a choice.  On the show, Gervais held up a 4-month-old Siamese kitten looked at Tonya and said, “Before I met you, I never knew these came in triple extra large.”

Tonya’s handlers abruptly entered a shot and declared, “Ricky Gervais doesn’t care about fat people.”

On his blog, Gervais responded to allegations of hate-mongery, claiming, “Of course I care about fat people!  I’m a fatty; most of England is fatties and many Americans too.   As long as they keep supporting me, I will support them.  And all nine of their chins.”

Gervais said he tried reaching out to Tonya to make amends.

Through her Twitter page, Tonya replied, “Sunday 4:17pm: Totally ignoring his calls.  Not letting him ruin my ham and cheese break.”  As well as, “Monday 8:39am: Not returning that email.  Paws full of spam.”

“I know what she’s doing here: playing hard to get,” Gervais said on his blog.  “She thinks the longer she avoids me, the more intently I’ll pursue her.  I wish I could say its not working.  But it is!”

“Now I don’t just want her forgiveness, I want her.  She’s made me fall in love with a fatty!”
