Fuzziest Pet Posts of 2007

by Heather on December 31st, 2007

2007 was a big year for pets and pet news!

Arguably the biggest and most popular issue was the pet food recalls that started in March and still seems to be ongoing (although on a much smaller scale) and affected thousands of pets and their families. Were you affected by the pet food recalls?

…

Celebrities had their fair share of pet drama:

~ Michael Vick was tried for and convicted of funding illegal dog fighting and participating in the killing of some of the dogs, and sentenced to 23 months in prison.

~ Iggygate and Ellen Degeneres. Ugh.

~ Leona Helmsley leaves $12M to her dog.

…

Three pets you don’t want to see at your bedside:

~ Oscar the cat predicts death at a nursing home.

~ Scamp the dog gives Oscar a run for his money.

~ Libby the poodle gets in on the action as well. I’m surprised that more of these stories didn’t come out of the woodwork as these three gained attention.

…

Scientists can’t leave well enough alone:

~ Glow in the dark cats.

~ Fluorescent fish.

~ Cat DNA is decoded.

…

Pet videos are always a hit and draw a lot of attention:

~ The Mean Kitty Song

~ The two talking cats

~ Good morning

~ Playing dead

~ Falcor the Urinator
