 Somebody with too much time on their hands:

 Three kittens with ear, neck and tail piercings were removed from a home by humane officers on Wednesday.   

"This is a first," said Officer Carol Morrison. "It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens."

Morrison said the investigation began about a week ago when a man from another state noticed "gothic kittens" being sold on eBay. The kittens were also being sold on a pet classified Web site with an attached picture of a pierced kitten.

Nothing cuter than a kitten. You'll get no argument from me on that.

So for all you kitten lovers, here's a video. This is how someone who bought the DVD describes it:

I saw this DVD on the internet and promptly freaked out and ordered a case of them in the hopes that you all would love it as much as I did. It is 45 minutes of non-stop kittens doing kitten things to wonderfully charming music by Brian Dewan.

The DVD is produced by a company called Bright Red Rocket. Maybe I should sue for tradmark infringment.

Here's a video from MSNBC about a pit bull that somehow crawled inside someone's car. to keep himself busy, the pooch ate halfway through the car's interior before he got out unharmed. The car wasn't so lucky.

I guess I'm the world's leading authority on such matters. I've written two stories about animals getting stuck in cars in my illustrious career. Yes, indeed, this is why I went to journalism school -- to write stories about animals who crawl into engine blocks.

One of them was a 'possum. The other was a kitty. Both cars happened to be Hondas. And the animals were safely extracted at Scott Robinson Honda in Torrance. Last I heard, they had my articles framed in their waiting room -- not exactly a Pulitzer, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

      We've posted about this before, but now's your chance to get involved with the Los Angeles Animal Service's Baby Bottle Foster Program.

A volunteer training session is being held at 4 p.m. this Thursday, May 8, and again at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 10, at the Harbor Animal Shelter, 735 Battery St., San Pedro.

Miki Shaler, who helps administer the citywide program, says there are "hundreds" of under-age kittens and puppies in need of volunteer foster families who are willing to bottle feed them until they are ready to be adopted.

It's a great activity for families, she said.

"It teaches compassion so it's great for families. When (the animals) come back to the shelter, they get a special designation that they were a fostered kitten so they're more sociable and will have an easier time adapting. They've been raised from hand so they're much more friendly."

Foster families also can adopt their kittens.

The bottle feeding is a commitment -- "It's not unlike having babies in your house," Miki said, with feedings every couple of hours. "It's work, but it's rewarding."
