THE MISSING LINK
New online site uses animal magnetism

Maybe you love dogs, but you don't want to date one. Or perhaps the last guy you went out with was a pure pig, but that didn't dull your desire for a pot-bellied piglet. If love means never having to say, "It's me or the mastiff," then get thee to www.kissykat.com. It's a new online dating service that uses pets as the main matchmaking metric. If you sign up with KissyKat, you don't just put down "smoker," "non-smoker" or "could lose a few pounds." You also specify what kind of pet you have, what kinds you like and which ones you can't live with. Among the leisure activities you can pick for your profile? "Breeding" (referring to pets, ostensibly) and "animal husbandry.
