Head Kitten Committed. Expandas Assumes Control
L ast Tuesday, KART HC members announced that Head Kitten Fields has been committed to Kanatchikova Dacha psychiatric hospital. Fields’ mental condition is reported to have deteriorated rapidly over the days before his institutionalisation. The Head Kitten’s exact symptoms have not been released however there is wide spread speculation that it is likely to be related to the KART sweets. Unofficial channels have revealed that the Head Kitten has been complaining that his collection of yarn was not brightly coloured enough and that is staff did not look enough like cats, further supporting hallucinogenic related mental issues. Spokespeople for KART across the world have been stressing that the day to day running of the confederacy will not be affected and that an interim leader had been appointed.

In an exclusive to Global Conflict Weekly, it has been revealed that Colonel Expandas has been elected to lead the KART Confederacy as Top Cat. Top Cat Expandas has expressed his desire to remain in the African theatre and not replace Fields in Russia. As a result, he is moving his primary headquarters from Moscow to Congo to have close control of the Confederacy. It is unclear who Expandas will task with the defence of the KART HQ in Russia.

Expandas Addresses KART
L ooking to the future of KART, Top Cat Expandas gave his first global address to the KART Confederacy. On Thursday, Expandas' broadcast was shown on all channels in KART controlled areas. During the address, the Top Cat stressed that there were to be no major changes to the overall operations of the Confederacy and that all government and military appointments would remain safe. Small changes are being made, however, to the Confederacy’s communications backbone which will require a media and telecommunications blackout to occur tomorrow for it to be implemented. Many are claiming that this blackout is to allow KART to install spyware in communication systems. Expandas has claimed these claims are not true and that the blackout is to allow the rapid upgrade of all systems in KART’s control. Life in KART controlled regions should otherwise remain unchanged under the new regime. Like his predecessor, Top Cat Expandas ended his transmission by eating a small, brightly coloured sweet.

Moscow Becomes KART Mecca
S ince Head Kitten Fields’ commitment to Kanatchikova Dacha, numerous KART followers have set up camp outside the hospital in Moscow. Known as “The Litter Box”, the small shanty town has become a symbol of devotion towards the former leader of the KART confederacy. All who travel there go with the same ambition, to see their beloved leader regardless of his health.

Many of the inhabitants, calling themselves “Kitty Litter”, believe that Fields has been wrongly diagnosed. “The Head Kitten knew of enlightenment and bravery,” said one man, “He saw the future and shared it with us in His sweets. But They soured them. Them and that Duke Wukey. They corrupted our Leader’s Clowder.” Another follower, going by the name Whiskers, agreed, adding “The Clowder must have put him here to make them look more legitimate to those dark souled invalids.”

Some residents have attempted to gain access to the hospital to get closer to Head Kitten Fields. “It’s astounding.” commented Dr Brach. “We are used to keeping patients inside the hospital, not keeping visitors out.” Security at the hospital has been increased to deal with the entry attempts. A small number of the KART military has also been brought in to maintain order in The Litter Box.
