Actually, We ARE Amused

By Miss Kubelik

Oh, nuts. The first heir to the British throne has been born since the laws of succession were changed — and it's a boy.

We cats assume it wouldn't be too churlish to say, well, bummer. (And goodness gracious: At 8 pounds, 6 ounces, that is one big baby!)

Well, never mind. Although we also are annoyed by all the errors that American journalists make when they report on stories like this — calling English people "Brits" is particularly offensive — we recognize that plenty of folks beyond the House of Windsor are interested.

And there's always this saving grace: A boy baby means that Will and Kate can't name it "Diana." And we sincerely hope that when it comes to hairlines, the kid favors Mom's side of the family and not Dad's. On that note, we cats PURR.
