Rescued from a ditch when she was no more than a teeny, tiny ball of fluff, Oreo C. Collins, a 2-year-old tuxedo cat from Macon, Ga., may be the very first in her family to obtain a high school diploma.

Here’s another clever cat. Slinky cat:

Cats get a bad rap on the Internet, frequently stereotyped as LOL ignoramuses, forever shredding grammar like a half-dead mouse in what the World Wide Web would have us believe is their endless quest for "cheezburgers."

Despite the pigeon-holing, cats play piano on YouTube and have their own Facebook profiles, and kitties who tweet exhibit a working knowledge of sentence construction that challenges those of their human Twitter compatriots.

MSNBC actually allowed that in its article?

I find it speciesist in the extreme for msnbc to suggest that cats couldn’t earn a diploma in the usual way. They just don’t want to.

If you ever need to trap a cat... forget baiting the trap with food - just stick a newspaper in there and you'll get one soon enough.

I'm not sure why, but cats cannot resist curling up on a newspaper. Maybe they have a natural desire to protect the world from liberalism by squatting on it. Or maybe they just take news coverage literally.
