Cute kids allowed to adopt cat after 1,000 Facebook likes

Cats, kids and the Internet – this dad never stood a chance against such powerful forces. After his son Remi, 7, kept bugging Dan Urbano about getting a cat, the father of two from Newton, Mass. told his children they could get a cat if 1,000 people liked their photo on their mother Marisa’s Facebook page. It took just hours for the shot of Remi and his sister Evelyn, 1, holding a sign with their plea for a feline friend to chalk up the likes required and a week later, the photo now has been liked 110,000 times. The family adopted their new pet, Hairietta L. Pawturr, from a local animal shelter on the weekend. The "L," of course, stands for "Like." [Source]
