Cats In New York City

Reports of a tiger on the loose in the streets of New York City briefly sent social media into meltdown mode today. But worry not, turns out the creature mistaken for a big cat was in fact... drumroll, please... a raccoon. As local media conceded, "they do both have black markings."

Multitudes of feral cats roam New York City's concrete jungle, and some now have a practical purpose: They're helping curb the city's rat population.

New York City cat lovers will be able to tuck in with tabbies next month, when a cafe opens offering feline companionship, a trend imported from Asia which has so far not caught on in Big Apple.

The top dog in Internet cat stardom, known for her downward smile and bugged-out baby blues, spent her birthday on Friday touring New York City with an entourage worthy of Hollywood.
