Cat Spends Hours Trying to Decipher DMV Forms
Cat Spends Hours Trying to Decipher DMV Forms
What’s the only thing more frustrating for a cat than not being able to catch the little red laser pointer dot? Trying to apply for a driver’s license in Oregon.
A cat in Aurora, OR reportedly spent over three hours yesterday trying to figure out how to fill out the myriad forms required by the Department of Motor Vehicles just to apply to take the test for a learner’s permit. Her friends think that’s crazy.
“There’s no reason it should be this hard for a cat to get a license to drive a car,” said Tricia Baptiste, a close friend of the kitty. “This is 2013. Why isn’t this stuff online? Why aren’t these forms more user friendly? It’s just terrible.”
Other friends agree.
“She can go outside and hunt birds without a license,” said Gregory Reichard, “but to drive a car she has to fill out 20 pages of forms. In triplicate! Complete insanity.”
According to friends, the cat eventually gave up and chased a piece of string for the rest of the day. Once she wakes up from her nap, she may try to tackle the application again. Or she may just play with the pen. Hard to say, really.

Health Advocates Complain About Puppy Content of Popcorn
Health Advocates Complain About Puppy Content of Popcorn
A health watchdog group has lodged a complaint with the state about the puppy content of popcorn at a local movie theater chain.
“We’ve found that 1 in 10 tubs of popcorn sold at the company’s theaters contain a puppy,” said group spokesperson Georgina Steuben. “That’s more than allowed by the FDA.”
While adorable, claims Steuben, puppies are not very sanitary, and often roll in gross things they find outside.
No one at the theater company could be reached for comment.

Dogs to Star in New Buddy Cop Show
Dogs to Star in New Buddy Cop Show
The Walt Disney Company has announced a new show for its summer lineup on the Disney Channel called Hooch and Hooch Jr. The buddy cop comedy follows the antics of two canine police officers – a father and son duo – as they solve crimes in the fictional town of Cypress Beach, California.
The show is a spin-off of the successful 1989 Tom Hanks comedy, Turner and Hooch, for which a separate pilot was made in the early 90s, but never produced.
“We really just felt the humans were unnecessary,” said Disney spokesperson Cynthia Sizemore. “While Tom had great chemistry with the dog in the original movie, it didn’t translate to weekly TV. We think our two puppy co-stars more than hold their own on screen.”
Though the original movie starred a rare French mastiff breed, the two stars of the upcoming television series are boxers.
The show will begin airing on June 27.
