Cat on NY TV news truck's roof becomes the story
MINEOLA, N.Y. – A stray cat seeking a warm spot to nap made headlines when Long Island police rescued it from a television news truck's rooftop satellite dish.
WCBS-TV reporter Jennifer McLogan says drivers were honking their horns and waving as her truck traveled Wednesday along a parkway to a Mineola (mi-nee-OH'-luh) press conference about an arrest in a string of burglaries. She waved back.
A motorist finally called to McLogan that a cat was on the truck's roof.
Nassau County police Detective Sgt. Anthony Repalone says he thought it was "an April Fools' joke" when the TV crew interrupted his press conference to report a feline in need of assistance.
Officers freed the black-and-white cat by dismantling a panel of the satellite dish.
The media-shy cat fled without comment.
Twin twitchers: Conn. pet shop has 2-nosed bunny
MILFORD, Conn. – It's no April Fools joke. The baby bunny really does have two noses. A Connecticut pet shop worker found the nosey bunny in a delivery of 6-week-old dwarf rabbits that arrived at the Milford store last week. Both noses have two nostrils. The owner of the Purr-Fect Pets shop says he's never seen anything like it in 25 years in the business. He says the bunny eats, drinks and hops around like the rest of the litter.
Beardsley Zoo director Gregg Dancho says the deformity could be the result of too much inbreeding or the parents' exposure to pesticides or poisons.
Store workers have begun a naming contest with Cyrano de Bergerac and Deuce among the contenders so far.
