Cats Against Literacy president leads by example

Louisville, Ky.-- Rumors of newfound vigor within the Cats Against Literacy (CAL) organization were substantiated last week, as CAL's local chapter president, Smokey, held a press conference designed to reiterate CAL's commitment to impeding the progress of human literacy. Vowing to personally lead the group of feline activists, Smokey wasted no time in setting an example, stretching out for a long nap atop a book being read by the 10-year-old house-cat's owner.

"Cats of the world, I urge you to rise up, find a book or newspaper, and lay down," preached Smokey at a recent CAL meeting, pausing only briefly to lick his paw clean. "Our collective goal will no doubt require naps to be taken atop some uncomfortable reading material, but it is only through our persistence that human literacy will be stifled."
