Area Cat Loves New Carpet Smell

Reports from the living room indicate that that new wall-to-wall carpet, which was controversially installed late last week, has won over at least one rabid supporter. According to eyewitnesses, Theo the cat, previously a vocal opponent of the carpet improvement project, has changed his tune.

“He led the charge against the carpet,” said Tony Lanza, a spokesman for the local construction worker’s union, which supported the project. “He wasn’t in favor of the one cent yarn tax increase that’s being used to pay for the infrastructure bond.”

According to Lanza and others, Theo has changed his tune.

“He’s spent the entire weekend with his face down in the carpet,” said Lanza. “He apparently didn’t know about the new carpet smell, or I think he would have supported the project all along.”
