oh,too bad. I was hoping for a long-lasting cat.

This sounds like the lead-in to a bad infomercial.

"Are you tired of your feline friends expiring too quickly? Do you need a long-lasting cat? Then you need EverKitty! Yes, EverKitty uses patented long-lasting nanotechnology to keep your furry little friend fresh and butt-in-your-face ready for years! Simply sprinkle EverKitty in warm water and thoroughly wash your cat daily for a week. The results will be in full effect by the time your stitches are removed.

EverKitty! From the makers of "Forever Grandma" and "Clone your own Mammoth!"

(EverKitty is not FDA approved. Side effects may include hair loss, sulking, spontaneous fits of anger from your cat, and nighttime attacks while you sleep. Do not use EverKitty on dogs.)

Still not credible enough to be considered a source for papers written for schools, but it can be a good jumping-off point.

Depends on the standards of your state's education. Wikipedia is fair game in k-12 here, sadly. It HAS to be balanced by other credible sources, but it's allowable.

Yay 49th in the country standards.
