Good News for Cats?

This just in from The New York Daily News: A Manhattan judge has ruled that Leona Helmsley's estimated $5-billion estate need not go entirely to the dogs.

A 2004 revision to the mission statement of the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust ordered that the money should be used for "purposes related to the provision of care for dogs" as well as other charities.

Before being revised, the mission statement mandated that the money would provide health care for the poor, with an emphasis on children.
