Cat Falls Asleep During Conference Call

Max the cat really wishes he hadn’t fallen asleep during this morning’s conference call. He was up all night chasing a bug and just couldn’t keep his eyes open during the meeting. Big mistake.

It turns out that while dozing off, Max accidentally signaled to his boss that he would volunteer to run the new corporate office in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales.

It’s a real place, and Max can’t even pronounce it. He certainly doesn’t want to uproot his whole life and move there. Wikipedia tells him he can shorten it to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll — sure, that’s a real help.

Cat and Dog Kiss on a Dare

A cat and dog in Worcester, MA reportedly kissed on a dare last night while attending a party with some school friends. They did not like it.

“It was pretty funny,” recounted sixth grader Sam Malloy. “We were all like, ‘Do it! Do it!’ and then they did and they were all, ‘Bleeeech!’ It was great.”

The cat and dog, who are pretty close friends, have decided not to talk to each other for a couple of weeks.

Dog Confident He Will Find Missing Tennis Ball

Marley, a local dog who lost his favorite tennis ball last night, has vowed vigilance in the continued search for the missing toy. 

While playing catch last night at around 9:15pm local time, the ball was accidentally thrown over the back fence and into the woods, according to eye witnesses. Marley spent about an hour searching for the wayward ball, but because it was already full dark, he had no luck finding it.

“He spent another couple of hours this morning combing the woods in the area the ball was lost, but no luck so far,” said Todd Fielding.

Marley spent the rest of today drawing up a search and rescue plan and recruiting other neighborhood pets to help with the effort. He plans a renewed search tomorrow at daybreak.

BREAKING: One-Day-Old Chick Learns to Walk

Janice, a one-day-old baby chick, has just started to figure out how to walk, according to sources on the scene.

“It’s really incredible,” said Skip Tompkins. “I’ve seen this thousands of times over the years, but I’m always amazed. One minute they’re just sort of flopping around, the next they’re up on their wobbly little legs and figuring out how to put one in front of the other.”

Janice is said to be making startling progress and should be strutting around the barnyard by sunset.

Puppies Participate in Stuffed Duck Hunt

Duck hunting, once a proud aspect of dog culture immortalized in the 1984 Nintendo classic Duck Hunt, has come under fire in recent years by certain factions in the canine community. A growing number of dogs say the practice is barbaric and have organized groups to advocate for the rights of water fowl.

One such group, Dogs Against Duck Shoots (DADS) organized a “stuffed duck hunt” today, which they say is both more humane and just as much fun and exercise as a traditional duck hunt.

“It’s basically a big scavenger hunt,” said Selma Hawkins, a spokesperson for DADS. “The dogs run through the woods, they find the stuffed duck plushies and bring them back. It’s a lot of fun, without all the dog-on-duck violence.”
