The cat has become a national hero

A PET cat has become a national hero in China after learning how to use a human loo.

The cheeky pussy’s antics have earned her godlike status in the country, where half of the rural population don’t even have an indoor toilet themselves.

The aptly-named Miao Mi, has learned to patiently wait for public WCs to become vacant in Chongqing, southern China, before she enters.

Owner Fang Deng, 32, said: “When she uses the toilet she squats at the edge; the posture is exactly the same as us.

“After doing her business, she takes a peek and then uses her paw to flush the toilet.”

MEET Cindy Jackson who, aged 54, is the most surgically enhanced woman in the world.

Cindy has spent this year altering her appearance to look like movie icon Brigitte Bardot.

On top of the 50 procedures she’s had in the past, she’s filled 2009 with botox, lower lip injections, Restylane injections to fill out her cheeks and Strawberry Laser Lipo treatment on her jawline, stomach and thighs.

In total, she has blown more than £130,000 and had 14 major operations trying to make herself look younger.

She said: “Some say that life begins at 40, but I am loving my 50s.

“On a good day I get chatted up by men in their twenties who think I’m their age and on a bad day I look like I’m in my thirties.

“It’s nice when people say you look great but there is a down side and I have had plenty of nasty comments as well, with people calling me vain and shallow.”

The American, who recently set up own website, has even pledged to keep going under the knife until she is well into her seventies.

She told the Austrian Times: “People say you should grow old gracefully and for me, that is exactly what I am doing! There is nothing graceful about falling to pieces and letting yourself go.

“I have all the benefits of wisdom that come with age but see no reason why I should let those years show in my face.”

THE average family dog pumps more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than a 4×4 vehicle that is driven 6,000 miles-a-year, a new book claims.

Time To Eat The Dog: The Real Guide To Sustainable Living compares man’s best friend to a Toyota Land Cruiser.

It also suggests a cat is equivalent to running a Volkswagen Golf.

The findings are based on the amount of land needed to grow food for pets.

Even a small pair of hamsters do the same damage as running a plasma television, the book’s authors Robert and Brenda Vale told the Daily Express.

But rabbits and chickens were eco-friendly because they provide ‘meat for their owners’.
