Amusing headline: Bird Flu Found in Cats in Asia; Canada on Alert
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/reuters20040220_179.html

I just had to chuckle when I saw this headline, and it wasn't worthy of LBN, I thought.

But come on: Bird Flu Found in Cats? Is that a surprise? I'm sure more of the birds are found in the cats, also.

1. Amusing?
Ironic, perhaps, but hardly amusing.

5. The idea is that a "bird flu" found in cats - along with the rest of the
bird.

Understand why the headline is now amusing?

6. Not when it was fatal to the cats.

Compassionate people do not find death "amusing".

I know what you were talking about, just think "amusing" is a rather insensitive characterization.

to go on a cat-slaughtering rampage.
They ain't getting my kitties!!
