Homepage Mistake May Get Kitten A Home

Published July 31, 2013 at 4:31 a.m. CDT

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene.

It was, of course, a mistake, and Web managers took it down right away. But the screenshot made a lot of people grin, and the Trib says it could mean good fortune for kitty in the photo. He's Benton, a local cat up for adoption. And since his homepage stardom, he's been getting a lot of attention from potential adopters.
