"An American dad has had to buy his kids a cat after losing a bet with them on social networking site Facebook. Father-of-two Dan Urbano, who was reluctant to get a pet, made what he thought was a failsafe bet - his children could only get a cat if their appeal got over 1,000 &amp;#039;likes&amp;#039; on Facebook.  However, in just a week the picture of the children&amp;#039;s plea received over 117,000 &amp;#039;likes&amp;#039;.  The image showed 7-year-old Remi and his 1-year-old sister Evelyn holding up a sign reading: &amp;#039;Hey Facebook! My sister and I REALLY want a CAT! Our Papa PROMISES we can get one if we can get 1000 LIKES! Please like this picture thank you!&amp;#039;. The picture was uploaded by the kids&amp;#039; mum Marisa. Speaking on Good Morning America, she said: &amp;quot;We figured our friends and maybe their friends would be nice and kind and share with each other. &amp;quot;Never, ever did we think this was going to happen.&amp;quot; As promised, the Urbano family got a cat. The tabby, from Gifford Cat Shelter, has been named Hairietta L Pawturr. The family said they added the &amp;#039;L&amp;#039; because she got so many &amp;#039;likes&amp;#039;.  &amp;gt; Cute video: Cats watching tennis - watch &amp;gt; 5-year-old boy &amp;#039;loses \u00C2\u00A350,000 on spread-betting site&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
