Fun concept, and it was interesting to see how these stories changed over time, but a lot of the stories and articles themselves weren't all that interesting. Lots of "cat disappears and finds its way home" type of stories, and lots of "cat is good at catching rats" stories. Some of these were just clearly absurd (like the cat falling from an airplane and landing in a librarian's backyard), and I'm sure more than a few were slightly embellished. Still enjoyable for what it is though.
