On Thursday, Uber issued a blog notice that said:
Today is National Cat Day – the cutest day of the year. We’ve teamed up with Cheezburger and the ASPCA® for a second year to bring you kittens… literally.Austin, Chicago, DC, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle—break out all the warm fuzzy feelings and get ready to go “awwwwww” with #UberKITTENS!And, today, we have this news
TODAY – UBER IS DELIVERING KITTENS ON DEMAND IN 7 CITIES!
HOW IT WORKS:
Open your Uber app between 12 pm & 4 pm.
Request the “KITTENS” option in your app. In NYC or DC? Enter promo code kittensnyc or kittensdc to unlock the option in your app.
Once the kittens arrive, you and your friends will get to enjoy 15 minutes of kitten cuteness! PRO TIP: Make sure to have an enclosed space purrrfect for playtime! In New York City, kittens can only be delivered to offices.
The best part? In most cities, kittens are eligible for adoption.

Cute. But Uber is not a product of the free market. And just like the walking dead, its cute "free market" face will deteriorate revealing the horrifying ugly reality that while one oligopoly has died another one has been born. And once again we have been hornswoggled on Halloween!
