Reclusive Cat Only Leaves Sensory Deprivation Tank Once Per Year
Reclusive Cat Only Leaves Sensory Deprivation Tank Once Per Year
Since retiring from the stage in 2003, Nikolai the cat has grown more eccentric with each passing year. According to a new unauthorized tell-all biography released today, Nikolai spends most of his time in a sensory deprivation chamber and only leaves once each year on the Summer Solstice.
“He takes his meals there. He bathes there. He sleeps there. The sensory deprivation tank has become his entire world,” alleges the book, entitled Meow: The Story of the Greatest Showcat the World Has Every Seen, and His Downfall. "Nikolai only leaves the chamber once each year, on the Summer Solstice, to be rejuvenated by the sun’s healing rays during its longest transit across the sky.“
The book is already #2 on the Amazon Kindle bestseller list.

Time Traveling Cat Appears on Rare $2 Bill
Time Traveling Cat Appears on Rare $2 Bill
Theoretical physicists have voiced concern over a possible tear in the time-space continuum since a rare U.S. $2 bill surfaced with the image of a cat accompanying Thomas Jefferson.
The cat in question? None other than Hank, a candidate for senate in the commonwealth of Virginia – Jefferson’s birthplace.
“The note was discontinued in 1966, and there certainly wasn’t a cat on it back then,” says currency historian Mark Hentz. “I’m not really sure what’s going on.”
But Dr. Nelson Kim, a physicist who studies time paradoxes at MIT, has two theories. “Either Hank traveled through time to affect the minting between 1869 and 1966, or he went even further back to befriend Jefferson himself, thus ensuring his inclusion in the portrait. Either way, that’s a lot of work for a campaign stunt.”
You can purchase one of these rare notes from Hank’s campaign website. At a mere $1.50, it’s a real steal. Proceeds benefit the Rzhevka Animal Shelter in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Area Sloth ‘Just Doesn’t Give a Damn’
Area Sloth ‘Just Doesn’t Give a Damn’
According to friend, a local sloth by the name of Herschel is easy going, almost to a fault. "He just takes it all in stride, you know?“ said one friend. "He hangs around in his tree all day, acting all smug, not a care in the world. I think it’s great.”
While some seem to think Herschel’s laissez faire attitude toward the world around him is something to envy, others are rubbed the wrong way by it. "I don’t know why, but it irks me,“ one neighbor The Fluffington Post. "I mean, he’s a grown sloth. Mooching off his parents like that is undignified. Get a job already!”
