Fort Dodge Issues Voluntary Recall of Rabies Vaccine

Fort Dodge Animal Health has issued a voluntary recall of Serial 873113A of its Rabvac 3TF Rabies Vaccine. At least one dog has become rabid as a result of the ineffective vaccine. Over 300,000 pets are suspected of receiving the faulty, recalled vaccine and will need to be re-vaccinated in order to receive full protection against the debilitating disease Rabies.

Catnabbit! has learned of other shocking news related to the vaccine recall. Although the Rabies vaccine is routinely given to dogs, cats are reporting another strange side effect: instead of catching rabies, they are contracting rabbies! In this unlikely disease, the cat slowly morphs from a cat into a rabbit. The condition is reported as irreversible, but it is rarely a mortal disease. Symptoms include: large ears, hopping around, sudden increase in mathematical abilities (especially multiplication), and chanting “What’s up, doc?” instead of “Meow?”

Unlike the famous faux-Cabbits which have pictures circulating on the internet, our sources have informed us that these rabbits are not a product of cat-rabbit breeding but rather a transformation of cat into rabbit. All veterinarians are cautioned against providing the recalled Rabvac vaccine to cats, as this may have horrifying side effects.

Although the former cats miss taking naps and eating tuna, they say that they are having a great time skateboarding and multiplying. They also prever to nibble on carrots instead of mice.

Cats may contact their local veterinarian for vaccination against the elusive Rabbies disease.

Meow Mix Announces World’s First Cat Reality Show

Meow Mix House Cat Reality ShowMove over, Big Brother! It wouldn’t be the first time Meow Mix does an incredible stunt to get lots of attention. They’ve gone and done it again: this time, they are hosting a reality show where they take 10 homeless bums and throw them in a house together. Each week, viewers will get to vote which of the group is the best, and the loser will get booted out of the house.

10 Cats to Live Together in a House and Vie for Job with The Meow Mix Company

Reality show contestants will do anything to win. Whether it’s living on a deserted island, undergoing plastic surgery or eating cockroaches, they will stop at nothing to be the best. In the latest twist on the reality genre, competitors will be asked to lick themselves clean, chase balls of string, and relieve themselves in a litter box as they scratch and claw their way towards the grand prize. However, for these particular participants, accomplishing the tasks will be second nature. After all, they are cats.

Meow Mix House Cat Reality ShowAlthough Meow Mix has assured us that the ten contestants are sweet-natured, we know from past experience with reality shows such as Survivor, Big Brother, and The Bachelor that reality show contestants are anything but sweet-natured. In fact, real cats won’t be entertaining enough to hold our attention. After all, if we wanted to see a regular cat on TV, we can look in a mirror and get all the “reality show” we need. Instead, we expect the cats of the Meow Mix House to fit at least a few of the reality-show clichés: the female cat in heat, the jock, the flirt, the argumentative jerk, and the con artist, just to name a few.

“At Meow Mix, we are cat people first and foremost,” said Meow Mix’s Top Cat, Richard Thompson. “We all own cats, we love cats, and we’ve been making great-tasting cat food for over 30 years. You might say we’re the industry leader in understanding cats. If anyone has the insight to explore the reality of cats’ lives, it would certainly be us.”

The contestants were selected from the following shelters and will be returning to them for placement in a home after the show is finished:

  • Touched by an Animal (Chicago)
  • Operation Kindness (Dallas)
  • Houston Humane Society (Houston)
  • Kitten Rescue (Los Angeles)
  • Nashville Humane Association (Nashville)
  • The Cat Network (Miami)
  • ASPCA (New York)
  • P.A.L.S. (Philadelphia)
  • Cat Adoption Team (Portland, OR)
  • St. Charles Humane Association (St. Louis)
