Here's something Paris Hilton is going to love: Kitty Wigs. Seriously.
We're talking about wigs for cats. Why the hell anyone would stick a head of fake hair on their cat is beyond us, but here's what the creators have to say: "Kitty Wigs are a fun prop to be used to enhance playtime with your feline friends. They're especially fun for photo sessions." Sounds like a death wish.

Two queer roosters are looking for a home! It seems Julius and the aptly named Big Daddy simply can't live apart. From Petfinder via !!OMG!!:
Deciding that they were not going to adhere to normative chicken social conventions Julius and Big Daddy have chosen one another as companions. Thus, against the odds, we are seeking a rooster-savvy home where they can stay together for the rest of their days. Big Daddy is Julius' protector, and at night he roosts over Julius like a mama hen sitting on a brood of chicks! Obviously the idea of separating these guys is just too heartbreaking to even consider!
Our heart's breaking just thinking about it. We'd totally adopt these feathered flamers, but our apartment's got a strict no cock policy. It's been hell on our love life!
We've all heard about the tales of gay penguins (in Manhattan's Central Park Zoo, in Coney Island's New York Aquarium, in Germany's Bremerhaven Zoo) and, while we've never heard about two male rhinos getting their swerve on, there is news about a phenomenon across the animal kingdom: two sets of queer storks taking up parenting.
Holland's Overloon Zoo is home to a lesbian pair of storks who were given two eggs to look after and a gay male duo given one egg. All the eggs have since hatched and, wouldn't you know it, both gay couples are raising their adopted offspring just as well as any of the hetero storks.
Cue the religious zeolots, lobbying against "animal cruelty."

We’ve been here before. Two queer penguins causing a stir in their NYC zoo by shacking up with one another only to be broken up by some harlot. Was one of them only in his Sean Cody experimental stage? We may never know.
What we do know is that it’s happening all over again, this time in a German zoo with 11 male on male penguin couplings. But this time even a visit by the female Swedish bikini team of Penguins couldn’t tear the queer penguins apart. But what were those zoo folks thinking when sending a woman in to do a man’s job. Yhou wouldn’t send Angelina Jolie to London to break up Elton John and David Furnish, would you?
But this is certainly turning out to be a great week for the gay animal kingdom. What would be even more of a breakthrough would be an interspecies coupling. Some male flamingo on male penguin action is just what the American Family Association to get all wound up over. And you know how much we love to see them get their panties in a bunch.

File under: Adorable news out of England. Carlos and Fernando, strapping young chaps from the town of Gloucestershire, have been together five years and have a few adopted children of their own. Fabulous? Yes, and all the more so since these guys are pink through and through.
Britain's only gay flamingos Carlos and Fernando, are celebrating their fifth anniversary together with their adopted children at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire.
The pair surprised staff at the wildlife park after they came out five years ago and began to engage in a series of complex mating rituals. The pink birds have been inseparable ever since and have even raised chicks together after they stole eggs from neighbouring straight couples.
The article goes on to say how Carlos and Fernando are a model couple, lasting a whopping five years (longer than Brad and Jen!) and are the envy of the straight flamingo world. We do have one quarrel, though. The article says they are “Britain’s only gay flamingos,” a fact we find hard to believe. C’mon, just look at what they’re wearing. The whole lot of ‘em is gay as can be.
