Ragged Point, California: A rare coastal tiger was spotted today not far from the Hearst Castle. Motorists on scenic coastal Highway 1 were shocked and amazed to see this cat perched on a tree branch overlooking the Pacific ocean. Witnesses, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the cat appeared to be slightly tentative on this precarious perch. It is unclear whether the great orange coloured cat was attempting to hunt whales, sea lions, california condors, or that orange butterly in the area. Shortly thereafter there were unconfirmed reports that the beast had broken into a nearby truck camper and was trying to consume a whole bag of Iams cat food!
Locally, there were fears that a high profile cycling race scheduled to pass through the area today may have to be diverted around the danger area.

In other news from Europe, it appears that the Canadian men's olympic hockey team thought they were playing for the Leafs and did not show up for the last four games.
