It was a “major” news story. Give them a break.

Was this the day the Gregorys had FOX News on? It certainly would have had me riled!

You cover this but not Tara the Hero Cat? That is not cool.

Oh no.
My better half and I had a Russian Blue named Spike for almost 20yrs.
RB’s have notoriously bad attitudes.
We likened Spike in his later years to Walter Matthau’s character in Grumpy Old Men.

Maybe a year before his demise he was sitting atop a high-backed sofa-- and I leaned over and barely touched noses with him-- and he began to purr. Told wifey: ‘He seems to be mellowing the older he gets.’
So I leaned over to do so again-- and the bastard bit the sh^t outta’ the end of my nose.

Was tempted to smack him-- but refrained-- as it was actually in his nature-- and I knew it.
My bad.

So. For the following two weeks I had this ‘little upward-flaring French mustache-looking wound’ on the end of my nose-- which made for some interesting explanations.

Talk about a slow news day.

Russian Blue?

Fox headline … “PUTIN SENDS CATS TO ATTACK AMERICANS!!!”

andy49 · July 17, 2014, 3:07pm

Could of at least found a stock picture of a Russian Blue for the article. The Persian has a very serious look but is not a blue.

The cat hadn’t been spayed? They must never have taken the poor kitty to the vet and it was probably ill, or they did something stupid to set it off.

Although I have a kitty who’s part Russian blue, and I can testify that gray cats do have an attitude!

There’s a lesson here for the Republicans about Benghazi…

Easy. TPMs new editors will be hired shortly. Everything will be okay. Nothing lasts forever. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

dr_coyote · July 17, 2014, 3:12pm

Hahahahaha…you win the day!

sergeant2 · July 17, 2014, 3:30pm

Up yours BuzzFeed, TPM scooped ya on this one.

Police says the Russian blue cat named Kush went berserk inside a DeLand home July 5, scratching owners Teresa and James Gregory on their arms and legs. The couple retreated to a bedroom and called 911.

Kush was taken to an animal shelter for 10 days. The Daytona News-Journal (http://bit.ly/1nzDOES) reports Kush was well-behaved during the quarantine.

Face it folks–she’s just not that into you.

winfran · July 17, 2014, 3:44pm

I think the cat’s mom stepped on his tail. That would piss my cat off.

Alright, Josh - are you running one of those Facebook psychological experiment type deals on us? Or did Ariana Huffington double-dog dare you to run this story? You can tell us now. Really.
