Senior US officials have urged the Wikileaks website not to publish the plot to Cats and Dogs3: Feline Good. Julian Assange, owner of the whiste-blowing website, has promised a “rip-roaring set of revelations” about the third instalment of the popular movie franchise.

“When we got our hands on the script,” said Assange yesterday from his cave in Pakistan, “we knew we had something hot – very hot. A lot of people really wanted this script to stay well and truly hidden – in fact, a lot of people didn’t even want it to exist in the first place.

“What happens in Cats and Dogs3: Feline Good is just going to blow everything they’ve already done out of the water.”

Wikileaks have been issuing teasers through the press, which have revealed that Joe the Beagle is to die from excessive flea bites, while Kitty Galore, heroine of the second film, gets furballs and ends up at the vet’s. Fans have been divided over whether Wikileaks should post the script on the site, with some saying “it would just be too much temptation to read it, I wouldn’t know what to do”, and others saying “meh”.

Senator Mawkit Roebuck-Hillbilly from Arkansas said that the publication of the script would be “unethical on all counts”, adding: “it’s one thing to publish classified cables, it’s another to publish the full script of one of the most popular animal action movie franchies of all time. Wikileaks are putting lives at risk.”
