When our readers tell us they want more of something in this case, stories about cats because who can ever get enough of those? we listen. And we want that same listening spirit to extend to whoever might be able to set up a service that brings kittens to your door for some playtime and cuddly cat times in every town across this great country we call home.
As I type these words and you read them, theres a magical event underway in Seattle, New York and San Francisco: To celebrate National Cat Day, car service Uber has teamed up with Cheezburger to bring kittens to the people.
Heres how I Can Haz UberKITTENS works, as explained on Ubers blog its essentially a service that will bring you a bunch of kitten friends for a limited amount of time:
1. Download the Uber app for iPhone or Android
2. Between 11am 4pm today, request the KITTENS! option via your app
3. If the furry friends are available, you and your buds will be enjoying 15 minutes of snuggles and cupcakes made by the famous Ace of Cakes, Duff Goldman and his team at Charm City Bakery.
The $20 is charged directly to your Uber account, and all of the proceeds will be donated to local shelters in each participating city, with the option to donate more as well as to adopt some of the kittens. That all depends on well those kittens snuggle, of course.
I dont know why we cant have this all of the time, everywhere, because its a win-win. A win for kittens because they get snuggled and a win for humans also because we get snuggled. Or at least batted at with tiny, adorable needle claws. So cute. Act fast though kittens are limited. KITTENS.
Eh, maybe not so much. Depends on what he's fighting. Lack of front claws means he can't hold his opponent as well to get those hind legs around and claw with the rear paws.
My cats over the years have mostly been outdoor/indoor, all of those allowed outside were fully clawed. (The ones missing claws were adoptees or rescues.) And yeah, sometimes a piece of furniture will take a hit from getting clawed. I decided that leaving the cats intact to defend themselves was more important to my peace of mind than having perfect furniture. Your mileage may vary on that sort of decision.
I wouldn't risk my cat's safety and health letting them outdoors if they aren't intact.
Again, your mileage may vary.
Kittens and pizza - that’s a damn good evening.
Good mousers? Where in relation to I-77?
*Very* big snake.
That kid and his snake are all over the interwebs.
I reckon they’re good buds..or sumthin’.
He looks comfy.
