The article "Feline Reactions to Bearded Men" did not pass the CRAAP test by any means. The article was written in 1999 and the evidence they used to support their web site was over ten years old, and over forty years in some sources. They use idiotic things such as pictures of cats being shown pictures of bearded men, and they are said to have reactions to them as opposed to non bearded men. The headline on the web site is even "Research that makes you laugh then think", that does not sound formal or accurate. Also it would be interesting to know who wants to use this information. It does not seem like it would be very relevant to researchers or students, maybe for humor, but nothing else.

I agree with you when you say this website did not pass the CRAAP test. Any reader can see this by just looking at the website. Like you posted in you blog, "They use idiotic things such and picture of cats being shown pictures of bearded men and cats." You make a good point and an educated person would notice this right away. Also, good observation on the title. Things on the website are inaccurate and humerous.
