This purr-fume is the cat’s meow.

A New York fragrance company has bottled the smell of kittens. Demeter Fragrance Library says its $20-per-ounce Kitten Fur has “the olfactory essence of the warmth and comfort of that purrfect spot, just behind a kitten’s neck.”

Speaking of good news about cats . . .

Kevin and Annette Shanahan were asleep in their Reedsburg, Wis., home when Annette awoke feeling ill and then collapsed.

Not long after, the couple’s cat Gracie began pounding on their bedroom door, waking Kevin. He saw his wife slumped over in the chair and called 911, saving both their lives.

A Russian zoo sued a film studio for turning its raccoon into, well, a real animal.

The petting zoo rented Thomas to video company Art-Msk for a linen ad featuring a scantily clad woman.

But when the company returned the raccoon, “he was attracted to women’s breasts,” zoo spokesman Viktor Kiryukhin said, suggesting the studio “put out some treats for him, so he associated breasts with a treat.”

The filming company said the little bandit was unruly when he first came on set and even stole an actress’ bra.

A French burglar made cops’ job easy when he got stuck in the hole he cut in a shop window.

Police in Mauleon-Licharre found the 46-year-old man hanging Sunday. He had smashed the window with a hammer and was trying to climb through when he got stuck.

“Drunk, he robbed a shop but got stuck,” the cops tweeted, with the hashtag “ThugLife.”

This lamb has a leg up in life, and it saved him from the slaughterh­ouse.

A farmer near the English town of Ashbourne delivered a healthy baby sheep with five legs, named Forrest after Forrest Gump, and his two children convinced him to let them keep it as a pet.
