DEATH CAT?
He's a cat with an uncanny instinct for death," said Dr. David M. Dosa, assistant professor at the Brown University School of Medicine and a geriatric specialist. "He attends deaths. He's pretty insistent on it."

Cats to compete in parody of reality TV show
I just read a Reuter's story about how the makers of Meow Mix cat food have found a great new way to advertise: Take 10 homeless cats, and put them in a stylish storefront window that doubles as a stage set in New York City for 10 days of being filmed and gawked at by passersby, put the resulting footage together with some catty voiceovers by actors pretending to be the different cats, then have people vote on which cats to vote out of the "house."
The kitties voted out are actually being placed in permanent homes, and the last cat napping supposedly gets hired by the company as the Feline VP of R&D, a taste tester of Meow Mix products.You can watch the three-minute spots on Animal Planet starting June 16th at 9 p.m. or on the Meow Mix House's website which also sports a 24/7 meowcam of the kitties.(Geez, what's next? Feline Fear Factor where kitties compete to see who takes longest to run under the bed when the vacuum cleaner is turned on?)
