Cat Regrets Accepting ‘Triple Dog Dare’ to Stick Tongue to Flagpole

Isaac, a tabby from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is resting comfortably at home today after being stuck to a flagpole for eight hours on Sunday. The cat reportedly affixed his tongue to the pole as part of a schoolyard dare gone horribly wrong.

“I mean, it was a triple dog dare,” said eight-year-old witness Kyle Boucher, “so he couldn’t really say no.”

Experts agree. Dr. Carolyn Rivera, a professor of adolescent psychology at the University of Indiana who specializes in schoolyard taunts told The Fluffington Post that the “triple dog dare” is the most serious on the dare spectrum.

“Things usually elevate progressively,” she said by phone. “You start with a dare, then a double and triple before progressing to the ‘dog’ dares, which follow a similar pattern. By the time you get to a dare of the ‘triple dog’ variety, it’s almost impossible to refuse.”

The cat was removed the flagpole by paramedics and is expected to make a full recovery.
