So I agree that “Socks” was a better name and I hope that the kitten and Mingeflaps the Blue Peter tortoise get along well.

Apologies (though the thread address should still drag Beastie Boys fans here).

And as a follow up, here is the LAMO apology:

No-one ever knowing the law about these things and cats being MONSTEROUS, there was fear of copyright infringement.

I hope they bring the new cat on and say “here’s one we made earlier”.

Stupid ver kids.”

The funniest part to me tho is – Beeb exec’s boss: “oh well here’s another KITAN it is called ‘Cookie’ so all is well”; Ver kids: “B-b-but…”
