Stray Kitten Interrupts Live Newscast, Meowing for Help

 

One stray kitty certainly did get her 15 minutes of fame yesterday morning.

The orange tabby totally crashed a local ABC reporter’s live shot in in Washtenaw County, Michigan, seizing the purr-fect opportunity to steal the entire show.

“He’s going to be our new mascot,” Nima Shaffe, the WXYZ Channel 7 reporter stated, before realizing the kitten was a female. “He greeted photojournalist Andy Zaremba and I here in the parking lot and he’s been pretty vocal. He tried to take over my time and he’s been hanging out underneath our truck here and so we’ve taken him under our wing.”

Florida Cat Receives Life-Saving Blood Transfusion From Dog

Who says cats and dogs don't mix?

A Florida Keys cat is back on its paws after receiving a life-saving blood transfusion from a dog.

Buttercup underwent the risky operation at Marathon Veterinary Hospital after vets warned it would take too long to ship cat blood over from the mainland.

The anemic orange tabby, found to have a 7% rather than the usual 35% red blood cell-count, received the so-called xenotransfusion on Sept. 16.

The 4-hour procedure, which has been carried out on just 62 cats in the U.S., saw blood from a West Palm Beach dog blood bank infused into the pained cat.
