It's Friday. Don't you deserve some animated gifs of cats reacting to a variety of topical, news-gathering situations?

I'm trying to decide if these GIFs will help my undergrads study for their Media Studies test that covers organizational analysis of news media. Or will they just stare at me blankly while I giggle uncontrollably. Its a toss up.

Sadly, I think teaching them how to make 20-minute noodles will be more useful.
Home brand if they are old media students.

Yes. Yes, I deserve these.

Thank you for posting. My rainy Friday morning just brightened (unlike my outlook for morning productivity).

I feel like a real cat reporter after reading through that. Now I want to see one for roughnecks or pilots or translators, whether with cats or other animals such as geese or dolphins or perhaps gerbils.

Yay! We dont have to wait for Caturday like other sites do.

I've suffered a seizure from looking at this, but that's a small price to pay

Why, yes, this is how I feel about going to meetings.

Ah, a village board meeting isn't so bad, kitty. It's the planning and zoning meetings you should fear.

This one made me laugh and feel so very bad for the baby kitty.

Also, I don't know why this cat is so unhappy about getting blotter. Also, she is not wearing high heels. You should ALWAYS wear high heels if you are going to do the police blotter.

You notice the village board meeting guy does't have any pants?

Mommy cat had good intentions, but bad aim.
