Not every kitten in this story survives, so just go ahead and click away now if you don't want to read about it. Amid tragedy, however, we also have a tale of human compassion in the form of a spontaneous, group effort to rescue all that could be rescued.

Okay, cat. Here's the deal. This Shineway Sausage is mine. I bought it. I did. With money. But you wouldn't know anything about that, judging by the way you sit on your hiney like a smug supplicant.

It was organized by the China Pearl Feline Fanciers Club and involved a contest of exotic cat breeds. (No word on who won.) More than 100 cats were at the exhibition, some of which you'll find i ...

This past Monday was National Hug Your Cat Day. If you didn't know that, you're already less of a cat lover than this dog here, a five-year-old in Shandong who was recently found nursing three tiny creatures.
