Florida Kittens Save Lives • NARAL Endorses Obama
Two kittens meowed so loudly when a Jacksonville, FL building was on fire that they woke up one resident who was able to help everyone get out before the flames gutted the building. • Naral Pro-Choice America has endorsed Barack Obama. • That has pissed off some other pro-choice peeps, like EMILY's List prez Ellen R. Malcolm, who calls the endorsement "...tremendously disrespectful to Sen. Clinton." • A new study has found that chocolate consumption during pregnancy may lower the risk of preeclampsia. • Has the demise of "you" in text messaging has been greatly exaggerated? A study found that "you" was used over "u" 9 times out of 10. • Some dude in Sweden turned his girlfriend's cell phone into a bugging device: He taped it to the headboard of her bed and when he called her he could hear what was being said in the room. • Um, beer-flavored, non-alcoholic beer for dogs. Why? • Don't go around saying people don't read books anymore; we're in a "second golden age" for teen fiction. • An interesting story about sperm competition contains this info: "Men — even those with vanishingly low sperm counts — ejaculate more healthy sperm if they masturbate while watching sexual videos than if they do it while staring at the ceiling." • More »

Kitten Born With A Birthmark Love Note
A kitten was born in California this week with fur markings that look like they say "I <3 ." or "I Love Dot." What makes that such a big deal? The kitten's mom is named Dottie. Too cute! (Also, hearts on baby animals seem to be a trend: First there was the chihuahua from Japan with a heart-shaped spot on its fur, then the piglet born just this past February with a similar birthmark.)

Check out Julie Newmar, the original Catwoman and "quintessential quality advocate," in this ad from the back of this week's AdWeek. She's letting everyone know that she's available to be a "corporate spokeswoman," and that she's "unretouched and unretired." If that's true, it's nuts. Girlfriend is 74! (Click image for full-size.)

Birthday Girls
Happy Birthday, Hello Kitty! The cutie cat turned 33 on November 1, and celebrates all month long! She's got partnerships with handbag designers, jewelry designers, and Barbie. Visit Sanrio.com and you'll see that Hello Kitty's got a new look — off-the-shoulder tunic tee, short shorts and boots. We liked her best when she was just a face on our pencil case, but we understand: A girl's gotta switch it up now and then. [New York Post, Sanrio]
