It was "the cat lady" who took care of more than 100 cats in her Texas home. But when she died in July at 72, what would happen to all of those kitties?

Particularly in a town without an animal shelter?

The Austin-American Statesman reports on a remarkable effort by the woman's neighbors to take in each of the 110 cats, and to get them fixed and adopted into new homes....

Well, there are children starving all over America.
And then there's China town.

You owe my husband a new keyboard, unless the Diet 7-up dries without gumming anything up.

Ha! That’s a great pic: I love how they’re all lined up in their little kitty-sized chairs.

time for a re-run of “Cats in the Kettle”

http://www.kanyak.com/ckettle.html

Cat’s in the kettle

Did you ever think, when you eat Chinese
It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat siamese?
Yet the food tastes great, so you don’t complain.
But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet-and-sour pork
But Garfield’s on my fork.
He’s purrin’ here on my fork.

...

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon.
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys:
They fry it real crisp in dough.

...

Chou Lin asked if I wanted more
As he was dialin’ up his buddy at the old pet store.
I said “Not today. I lost my appetite.
“There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight.”
I was suckin’ on a Rolaid and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew, boys:
And that is when I knew...

...

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
I think I gotta stop eatin’ there at noon.
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork
But it’s purrin’ there on my fork.
There’s a hair-ball on my fork.

They call her "Crazy Cat Lady", but can anyone who loves animals REALLY be crazy? Lisa Simpson, before getting a cat chucked at her.
