A Long Paws of Silence, Please: Real-Life ‘Long Cat’ Passes Away (Gawker)
Apologies for sporadic postage this hour.
We are literally bidding farewell right NOW to Molly (above), the sharply-clawed foster cat who has destroyed lived in Karl’s den Broadsheet HQ since just before Christmas, owing to a flu outbreak at the DSPCA.
The handover is imminent. Normal service will resume shortly. Mmmf, etc.
The director of PS Network game Datura has released a video teaser for his mad-as-a bottle-of-chips new project:
Catzilla was described to Eurogamer by Datura director Michal “Bonzaj” Staniszewski as “an exercise before future challenges”. It’s a benchmark designed to check your computer’s graphics capabilities that doubles as an animated short. That features giant cats who shoot lasers out of their eyes. With dubstep.
Staniszewski, who works with the Polish demoscene group Plastic, told us the video has “spread widely without anyone noticing it’s a PC benchmark”.
You can download the Catzilla beta (released earlier this month) here.
The very gorgeous George.
He’s had a time of it.
From Dublin SPCA
This little cat (we have named George) was rescued last night from teenagers that were trying to throw him into the canal at Inchicore Dublin 8.
A member of the public rang us this morning to say that he had seen three girls and two boys aged approximately thirteen to fifteen egging each other on to drop the cat from the lock into the deepest part of the canal. The man immediately went over and took the cat from the teens and brought it home to safety.
First off we would like to point out that this man although we cannot name him is a hero in our eyes and we are so grateful for his intervention although it would be only right for us to encourage anyone in this situation to call the local Garda station first for advice.
Also if anyone in the area knows who might own this cat please contact us, he is a 1 yr old male Tabby not neutered and very sweet natured. Call us on 014994700 or email lost@dspca.ie .
