Barn Owl Fooled by ‘Got Your Nose’ Game

Barn Owl Fooled by ‘Got Your Nose’ Game

The way Jim Squires tells it, he didn’t mean to cause Pipi the barn owl any distress, but the classic “Got Your Nose” game was just too much for the bird to handle.

“I reached over and pretended to grab Pipi’s beak,” recounted Squires, “and then she completely freaked out.  She really thought I had her nose!”

According to Squires, even after he showed Pipi that he wasn’t holding her beak – it was in fact just his thumb – she continued to squawk and flap her wings for a good 15 minutes.  

“It was awhile before we could calm her down and explain how the trick worked,” he said. “Now that she understands, of course, she just thinks I’m lame.”

Cat Gets Pet-icure at New Spa

By mirandate, FluffPo Correspondent

Indianapolis, IN – Nym, a local cat, recently won a raffle and was able to treat herself to a free pet-icure at the Hairy Friends Salon, a new downtown business. Albert Jones, salon owner, said “Nym won our most exclusive pampering package, with a day of petting, acupuncture, brushing, and our signature All-Claws Pet-icure. We could tell she really liked the fact that all our products are natural, featuring the cat spit that gives hair that extra bounce. She purred the whole time." 

As of press time, Nym had not yet written a Yelp review of the salon, but Jackie Wohlburger, a source close to the situation, said she expected Nym to write a positive review of her experience at Hairy Friends. "Nym loves to write positive reviews of local businesses,” she said. “For instance, after we visited that Tuna Taco truck, she went on Yelp and wrote, ‘as;xxxxxxxxxxx55555555.’ She also rated it five stars.”

Cat Forgets Color Catcher On Mixed Laundry Load

Cat Forgets Color Catcher On Mixed Laundry Load

In doing a recent load of mixed cotton laundry, a cat named Gus did the unthinkable.

“He completely forgot to add a color catcher – you know, that thing that prevents the dyes from bleeding into other fabrics,” says Lauren Singleton, who discovered the mixed load Tuesday morning.

No word yet on whether there’s been a color transfer. “We’ll only really know after they come out of the dryer,” says Singleton. “It certainly didn’t help that he mixed himself in there with the clothes.”
