Area Cats Turns Selfies Into Snapchat Masterpieces

When Oskar and Maya first discovered Snapchat, it was merely a distraction – a silly app for selfies and killing time between naps.

“That’s when they discovered the power of the drawing tools,” says Kristin Montgomery, a friend of the feline roommates. “I started getting snaps from them that were really creative. I had no idea they were such talented artists.”

Since then, the duo has accrued hundreds of followers on their shared account, Cakes1toDough1.

“I have no idea how they create such elaborate artwork with their tiny kitty paws,” says Kevin Warby, a fan and Snapchat follower. “But I love seeing their snap stories. They even replied to me once! It was amazing.”

The cats themselves could not be reached for comment on their newfound Internet fame. And whether or not it will lead to television or a book deal remains to be seen.

“There are a lot of stars who blow up on Snapchat overnight,” says Mindy Black, who covers social media trends for Tech Insider. “But turning that into a career that can pay the bills is a challenge. There’s no direct way to monetize Snapchat right now, even for the top snappers.”

Local Cat Bitten by Spider, Becomes Super Hero

A local kitten, whose identity is unknown at this time, was reportedly bitten by a spider yesterday and is now exhibiting “super hero-like behaviors.”

Sources close to the situation say the cat has been literally climbing walls and swinging from building to building.

“He’s been spotted all over the city,” said police commissioner Sara Burellis. “We’ve had calls about his hanging from the rafters at a Whole Foods, jumping from car to car on 11th Street, and scaling the Chase Bank Building.”

Know one knows exactly how the kitty gained his powers, but scientists who study super heroism have a theory.

“It was 99% a spider bite,” said Lamont Quimby, a professor of superology at the University of Iowa. “There’s a very small chance it might have been some sort of bat, but the evidence really points to spider.”

Shih Tzu Upgrades to iOS 9, Immediately Regrets It

· Leave a Comment

Puchi’s mobile devices were all working great. Her photos were synced. She loved using Instagram and Tumblr. And her weather app always notified her when it was time to stay in from the rain and snuggle.

That all changed on Wednesday when she got a little notification.

“It was nagging her to upgrade to iOS 9,” says Beth Malkoff, a friend of the connected pup. “I know she had been putting it off for a few weeks. But that notification wouldn’t go away.”

So she embarked on the upgrade. And it all went downhill from there.

“Suddenly, she couldn’t sync her photos with iCloud,” Malkoff tells The Fluffington Post. “Her phone was moving in slow motion, and she had all sorts of connectivity issues.”

The same was true for her iPad. After attempting a number of DIY fixes via Google, she eventually called in the big guns.

“I had to re-install the OS from scratch after backing up all her data,” says Winston Carlyle, an Apple Store employee who fixed Puchi’s devices at the Genius Bar. “I’m not sure what the issue was, but that did the trick.”
