Kitten Loses Job at Nap Factory
Kitten Loses Job at Nap Factory
Layoffs at the local nap factory have hit Suni the kitten hard. After budget cuts at the plant forced a round of layoffs in early May, Suni found herself without a paying job for the first time in years. According to friends, the kitten hasn’t taken it very well. "Oh she’s been sending out resumes, sure,“ said Linda Conroy, a source close to the situation, "but I don’t think she’s slept in weeks.”
While most cats are living the high life, economists warn that kitties who do find themselves out of work will have an increasingly difficult time finding gainful employment because the demand for professional napping is at a 5-year low.

Hamster Becomes Youngest Rodent Admitted to Mensa
Hamster Becomes Youngest Rodent Admitted to Mensa
Abel, a hamster from Wilmington, DE, has been recognized as the youngest rodent ever admitted to Mensa, the international organization for those that score in the top two percent on a standardized intelligence test. The two-year-old hamster reportedly has an IQ of 164, and is able to consistently press the red lever for food while avoiding the green lever, which produces an unpleasant puff of air.
Abel is planning to attend Phillips Exeter Academy in the fall.

Area Cat Can’t Nap Without Favorite Doll
Area Cat Can’t Nap Without Favorite Doll
“It’s a Mulan doll, you know… from the movie?” says Amos Tolbert, local cat Fuwa’s friend and roommate. "She just refuses to take a nap without it. We can’t figure it out, because, to be honest, she didn’t even like the movie that much.“
Tolbert says it wouldn’t be a big deal, except that it’s interfering with his day job as a freelance writer. "Every day it’s, ‘Oh my God, where’s Mulan?’ and I can’t get anything done,” he says.
