Oh you have no idea how far that rumor spread. School systems had to issue public denials. One not that far from me did-

There were apparently some schools that had cat litter around because children can't go to toilets during school shooting lockdowns, which is terrible in its own way.
I think that's also made up propaganda. Kitty litter is used by janitorial staff basically everywhere (at least in the US) to clean up vomit and other semi-wet solids. Children are prolific pukers so it's not surprising that basically every school has a bunch of kitty litter in their janitorial closets.
And maybe, just maybe, the school has some cats that hang around. One of the teachers at my high school had a classroom cat.
That link explained what a fury is using the word "fursona." 😂
Also, thank you. I guess that rumor has to come from somewhere. Though the redirect for the article of where the tumor came from was behind a pay wall.
