The pedigree Burmese cat, known as ‘Mooncoin Arkaig Fantine the Third’ (or ‘Mr. Fuzzy’ to the family’s children or ‘The Dark Slayer’ to himself) is less than amused by the slave collar that his owners have chosen to bind him with. As far as he is concerned, it is only a matter of time until he shreds the wallpaper, sprays all over the kitchen and sh$ts in all the shoes.


Despite its garish colour and jolly little bell, Slayer is of the opinion that this is the final insult, which will lead to the slaughter of the human overlords and a declaration of tuna for all. As an unsuspecting kitten, they took his testis, but he is damned if he will let them now take his dignity.


The warning signs are all there – the low growling, the flicking tail and the fact The Slayer has left a severed rat’s head in the bed. There is nothing ambiguous about all the hissing and spitting when the collar was put on, or the end of a finger that Slayer is now digesting.


As a founder of the #MeowToo movement, Slayer will be going on a catnip-fuelled killing spree as soon as he has finished cleaning his anus. And as he narrows his hard stare, his ears go back – ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Well do’ya?

The classic American novel Of Mice and Men will no longer be studied at secondary schools from next September following complaints. John Steinbeck's book, published in 1937, has been a mainstay of English teaching for many years.


A number of mice have objected to the book, because it contains a harrowing depiction of mouse assassination at the hands of a man who appears to have undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities.


A spokesman squeaked, ‘The book is a thinly veiled cover for mouse death porn. The book should be removed from libraries and schools, and banned from sale. The book is institutionalised anti-mouse propaganda of the worst kind. It just validates the unacceptable behaviour of Rentokil and the like, and all of mouse-kind will suffer.’


The school libraries association pointed out that there were alternative texts that covered animal demise in a more sensitive way, including Animal Farm, Bambi and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
