Cat Sits In Box; Doesn’t Get the Appeal

An area cat named Sigge finally gave into peer pressure this morning and sat in a box in the kitchen.  Sitting in a box has been a hot trend in the feline world for the past couple of years, but until now, Sigge had resisted.

“To be honest, he was underwhelmed,” said Francis Nordquist, a source close to the situation.  "He sat in the box for awhile and was like, ‘Yeah, okay. Now what?’  He just didn’t get what the fuss was about.“

Sigge plans to try sitting in a larger box tomorrow to see if that’s any better.

Cat Launches International Snowflake Registry

A Norwegian Forest Cat named Miko has kicked off an initiative to catalog every snowflake that falls to Earth during the winter of 2013.

“He’s not convinced that every one is unique,” says Richard Tobin, whom Miko appointed president of the International Snowflake Registry. “The only way to know for sure is to gather up every single one, take a photo under the microscope, and file them in a database. Once that’s done, we do digital comparative analysis to see if there are any matches. It’s ridiculously tedious and kind of stupid, but Miko couldn’t think of any other way to spend $36 billion.”
