Kitty Firefighter Completes Training

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

It’s not an uncommon aspiration to want to be a firefighter. Magnus the cat made that dream a reality last week when he completed basic training, becoming a certified volunteer for Ladder 25 in Springfield, MO.

“When he came to the fire house a month ago, we didn’t really take him seriously,” says Chief Phil DeMott. “He’s proven himself, though. We’re happy to have him on the team.”

Magnus was taken on his first ride-along on Monday, and by all accounts did exceptionally well.

“He can use the radio. He can work the hoses. You’d barely know he was a cat,” says DeMott. “He’s adept at pretty much everything – except tree rescues of other cats. He’s basically useless with those. Also ladders. He’s not too fond of water, either. Other than that, though, he’s perfect.”

Kitten Turns Down for Something; Isn’t Sure What

A cat from Haversville, MD named Tonks reportedly turned down last night but sources tell The Fluffington Post that at this time it’s still unclear for what.

“He definitely turned down,” said local police chief Taryn Gomes. “But for what? We’re still trying to figure that out.”

According to Gomes, the cat was taken in for questioning and released. He has not been charged with anything at this time.

Tonks could not be reached for comment.

Dog Ignores Recommended Ages for Play Set

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Peanut the dog has sparked controversy across his neighborhood by continuing to use a play set that was intended for ages 2-4. The dog is only 18 months.

Though local children love Peanut – “He’s awesome,” said Carly Classon, age 6 – neighborhood parents have voiced concerns that the pup’s actions might encourage other young residents to ignore safety warnings.

“He’s setting a bad example for the other youth on the block. He’s not old enough for that slide,” Neighborhood Association President Maxwell Higgenbother said.

Other in the neighborhood don’t agree.

“You have to take his dogness into consideration,” said Pete Frannicker, who lives on the same block as Peanut. “In dog years, he’s almost 20. He’s actually kind of too old to be playing on a kiddy slide, which is a whole other thing.”
