Menandcats.com loves this story and accompanying photo from Longview, Washington’s Daily News. According to the article, the Woodland Police Department adopted a grey cat, Rebel, who is now the office cat. The police officers all chip in to care for Rebel and pay for his food and vet bills. The best part of the article is this quote: “The chief, who admittedly has a soft spot for felines, reaches into his desk and pulls out a few goodies, he said.” Who doesn’t love a man in uniform and a cat?

My friend Mikka and her boyfriend Sean just got two kittens – Kumi and Aiko. I think I am nearly as excited as Mikka about the kittens. They may be the cutest kitties I’ve seen since Charley and Thurston!!!

According to this Page Six tidbit from the New York Post, Marilyn Manson a.) is getting divorced and b.) loves his cats. I did not know about either of these facts before today:

January 9, 2007 — IT’S about to get nasty in the Dita von Teese/Marilyn Manson split. While the oddball couple have no children, they do have several cats, two of which are named Lily and Aleister, and two dachshunds, Greta and Eva. A source friendly with the two says, “They are fighting over custody of the cats – not so much the dogs.” Von Teese, a stunning burlesque dancer and MAC spokeswoman, dumped Manson last week because of his “demons” and hard-drinking ways. She took all the animals with her when she moved out of the house, but apparently, Manson misses the felines most. Von Teese declined comment.
