Trailblazing Local Dog Does ‘Cat Things’
Quigley the dog follows the beat of his own drum. The area pup is known to do a number of things that are historically associated with cats.
“He sleeps a lot during the day, he sits in boxes, and he freaks out whenever I use the can opener,” said roommate Clem Watkins.
Dr. Belinda Cox, an animal psychologist at Emory University said that though Quigley’s behavior is unusual, it’s not a cause for concern.
“I mean, bugs pretending to be plants, moths pretending to be birds, cuttlefish taking on the colors of their surroundings. Most imitation in the animal kingdom is for disguise and protection,” she said. “I’m not sure what the purpose of Quigley’s mimicry is, but it’s nothing to be worried about. I mean unless he starts to purr.”
Watkins, for one, thinks the dog is a pioneer.
“He has the courage of his convictions,” he told The Fluffington Post. “Quigley follows his own path and doesn’t let anyone tell him otherwise. I admire that.”

New Office IT Cat Makes Co-Workers “Uneasy”
Employees at the office of San Francisco, CA mobile app startup Flizzl are unhappy about their new office IT cat, Albert. According to sources close to the situation, employees have filed at least two complaints with HR about the cat’s attitude.
“He’s always judging you,” said software engineer Miriam Cole. “I’m a programmer. I’m pretty good with computers, so it’s not like I’m asking him stupid questions. But no matter what, he always acts like whatever is wrong is my fault.”
The cat has remained aloof despite attempts by coworkers to connect.
“He always eats lunch alone,” said marketing intern Cameron Duthier. “And it’s always the same thing: sardines. Just sardines. It’s weird, man. I’ve tried to sit with him, but he just gives you that look of his. Makes me kinda uneasy.”
Duthier says he’s also tried to invite Albert out after work, but the cat doesn’t want to socialize outside the office.
“I get it, he’s always fixing stupid computer problems at work all day, that’s enough to drive anyone nuts,” said Duthier. “But he’s got to relax once in awhile.”
