... and Donder & Blitzen ... & Grumpy Cat?

GRUMPY CAT fans, grab your popcorn and settle down in front of the TV on Nov. 29 for the Lifetime broadcast of "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever." Time magazine says the feline Internet sensation is bringing a touch of bah-humbug to the holiday season in the story of an overlooked pet-store cat with a sour outlook on life; a 12-year-old girl named Chrystal, who is the only person who can understand and communicate with the cat; and how they save each other - and a dog - on Christmas Eve. Aubrey Plaza from "Parks and Recreation" voices the, er, grumpy feline.

* A visiting golden retriever saved the lives of his host family when he alerted them to a fire in the middle of the night by bumping the bed and running in circles. Teddy's owner, Barbara Van Zandt, was traveling overseas, so she had left the dog with family members in Livonia, Pa. While they lost their home, the family and their other pets are alive, thanks to Teddy's quick action. The Livonia Fire Department presented Teddy with a badge for his collar and a plaque recognizing his deed.
