Sparta the Mean Kitty
The videos above are from YouTube, and feature Sparta. Click on them to watch these clever videos his owner has posted on YouTube. He is an Egyptian Mau, though he looks like a Bengal. (Bengals are a cross between an Asian Leopard cat and a domestic shorthair). In one video, you'll notice how Sparta fetches. (it's because they are VERY smart). I Hope you enjoy these short clips.

Shooting suspect rolls car and is ejected after short police chase.
SPOKANE, VALLEY, Wash. - A man wanted in connection with a February shooting and his female companion were taken into police custody Friday night after they attempted to elude an officer and crashed on Sprague Avenue beneath Interstate 90.
Authorities say 25-year-old Joseph L. Bledsaw, and his passenger 26-year-old Tanya M. Roybal, were both injured when Bledsaw struck a median and rolled their 1997 Pontiac while attempting to flee from Officer Chuck Sciortino and Reserve Deputy Bill Duffy at about 9:10 p.m. Friday.
Officer Sciortino was attempting to stop Bledsaw for speeding, but the suspect took off eastbound from Sprague and Havana at speeds in excess of 60 mph. Police say Bledsaw was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for First-Degree Assault. Bledsaw has a five-year criminal history with a prior conviction for First-Degree Malicious Mischief.
At Sprague and Fancher, Bledsaw struck a concrete median. The Pontiac rolled several times and he was ejected. The car then began burning, blocking the westbound on-ramp onto I-90.
Officers pulled Roybal from the wreckage and determined she was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant.
Detectives had been looking for Bledsaw since a February 27th shooting incident at the King's Square Apartments, at 15917 E. Sprague. On that date, Bledsaw reportedly confronted a man about a noise complaint he had filed with police about a female acquaintance of the suspect.
When the male entered his apartment to end the confrontation police say Bledsaw fired a shot through the apartment wall that narrowly missed a toddler sleeping inside.
Both Bledsaw and Roybal suffered injuries in the crash. Both were transported to a downtown hospital for evaluation and treatment. Roybal was treated and released.
Saturday morning a Spokane County Sheriff's official said Bledsaw is being kept under guard at the hospital while his injuries are being monitored and treated.
The crash is under investigation by Spokane Valley Police traffic detectives.
Glad they caught this guy. I'm glad his little shooting stunt didn't result in the death of an infant, and hope they prosecute him fully. What are people thinking???

(CNN) -- A Pennsylvania man attempted to resuscitate "a road-killed opossum," state police say.
But this was one possum who wasn't playing possum -- the ugly creature remained dead.
Troopers responding to the scene in Oliver Township on Thursday determined that Donald J. Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, was drunk, according to the police report.
Several witnesses observed Wolfe's failed resurrection of the flattened marsupial, police said. It was not immediately clear how he endeavored to restore the possum's life.
The arresting officer in the incident was unavailable for comment Friday. Attempts to reach Wolfe were also unsuccessful.
Wolfe will be charged with one charge of public drunkenness, police said.
I wonder if this guy is going to be embarrassed by his stupidity. I simply can't understand how a person allows alchohol to make them do such dumb things. When he sees his picture plastered everywhere, and his piss soaked pants, maybe it'll create some kind of change. Geez...
Deputies arrested Cassandra Scott, 40, Thursday night on charges of aggravated child abuse, according to police report.
The 12-year-old victim told a classmate that he had been abused by Scott, police said. The classmate relayed the victim's story to an assistant principal at Gray Middle School.
When deputies interviewed the victim, he told them that Scott accused him of stealing a piece to a GPS unit and handcuffed his hands behind his back as punishment.
The victim told deputies that Scott called him her "prisoner." The boy said Scott kept him in the cuffs throughout the day until his hands were numb and purple.
Deputies noted, in the police report, visible red markings on the boy's wrists. A nurse conducted a medical exam and said the marks were consistent with marks left by handcuffs. Read More: Source/Huffington Post Handcuffs
She even looks like a bitch. I hope SHE gets to spend time with handcuffs.
WALDPORT, Ore. -- Two people using a barbecue to heat the inside of their van died of carbon monoxide poisoning off a forest service road in western Oregon, deputies said Friday.
Lincoln County sheriff's deputies said 25-year-old Laureano Calmo-Ramirez and 17-year-old Magdaleno Ramos were found dead about 30 miles southeast of Waldport.
Deputies said the men were picking "minor forest products" on forest service land.
The two men lived in Corvallis and had been missing since March 10. Family reported their disappearance to police March 17 and authorities searched an area near Highway 101 between Waldport and Cape Perpetua the following day.
It's not known when the two men died. Family and forest service officers found them at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
Their bodies have been turned over to a medical examiner's office.
Sorry, no pictures. What a shame that the cost of stupidity had to be paid with their lives, but when will people THINK!!!
MONTERREY, Mexico — The decapitated body of the police chief of a northern Mexico town and the body of his brother were found inside the chief's patrol truck Friday, authorities said. Hours earlier, gunmen killed a deputy police chief and his bodyguard in another part of Mexico's north. The body of Heriberto Cerda, the police chief in Agualeguas, was found on the bed of a patrol pickup truck, which was left on a dirt road in the nearby town of General Trevino. His head was on his lap, said a spokesman for Nuevo Leon state prosecutors who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.

When will this drug thing be over? Can't those Mexicans get a grip on this problem? I think they should be able to use the same tactics and leave a couple headless cartel bodies strung up as a warning. Maybe that's too drastic, but drastic times call for drastic measures.
GREEN, OH (WOIO) - A vicious dog is fatally shot after an attack on a Summit County man and Sheriff's deputy.
It happened in the 2800 block of Aldis Road just before 4PM on Thursday.
Officers arrived on scene to find the victim inside a car while the dog - believed to be a pitbull mix - lurked outside.
The dog became violent toward the deputies and bit one of the men on the hand. Some of the deputy's puncture wounds went clear through his hand.
The dog was then killed by one of the deputies after a failed Taser attempt to subdue the agitated animal.
Both victims were taken to the hospital for treatment. Both are expected to be fine.
Officials are still waiting to establish who owns the dog. Charges are pending
I sure hope they find and prosecute the owner of this dog. Why was it loose? What made the dog a dangerous animal? Abuse? It's too bad the animal was the one that had to pay he ultimate price from bad circumstances.
Why Your Cat Won’t Eat.
by Kim Boatman/The Daily Cat
Cats have a reputation for being particular about their diets, because they like their favorite foods served at just the right time and place
If your cat quits eating, however, your swift action is critical, says Dr. Marla J. McGeorge, a veterinarian who runs a feline-only practice in Portland, Ore. "If your cat doesn't eat for more than a day, it should go to the veterinarian," she advises. "It doesn't take very long for cats to develop a liver disease from not eating." Liver failure occurs when fat accumulates in the liver due to a lack of protein. Read More: Source/KHQ Pets Cats
In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name.
Example, the trade name is Tylenol and it's generic name is Acetaminophen.. Aleve is also called Naproxen.
Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.
After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin
Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.
It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.
Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'.
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research.
This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
