Wait til you see the big one
In an LA Daily News slideshow that could melt the hearts of a thousand evil dictators, we are introduced today to an absurdly soft-looking gray kitty, a lifelong resident of Woodland Hills, and his human savior: L.A.

In any other situation, we'd probably be inclined to say something snarky about our tax dollars at work, but in light of this ridiculous cuteload, we're damn proud to say our tax dollars went to save kitty.

For the full slideshow and story, wherein "other small pets also were rescued" (just kill us now, will you?), click here. And try not to set your house on fire. Not every kitty can be so lucky.
