Dog Brings Back Preppy Look

Area puppy Dexter has taken his wardrobe back to the 90s with a bunch of decidedly preppy looks.  "I think he pulls it off,“ says canine fashion expert Emilina George.  "He tried the grunge thing last month, and it was a disaster, but I think he’s onto something with this look.”

Neighbors caution, however, that Dexter must bring something new to the style to really make it work.  "He needs to make it his own.  Maybe a rhinestone collar or an ironically large bell… something to avoid looking like a Gap ad,“ says one neighbor.

Cat Packaging Makes Up 7% of All U.S. Waste

A new study conducted by the Alliance for Sanitation Scrutiny (ASS) finds that a whopping 7% of all the waste generated by U.S. households comes from discarded cat packaging.

“Store-bought cats can come in packages that go three layers deep, in some cases,” says Robert Kincaid, project manager on the study. “Most of it is non-recyclable.”

While there are some cat retailers taking initiatives to reduce cat packaging waste, the problem is pervasive, and will need to be addressed industry-wide to see any meaningful impact.

Cat Questioned in Connection With Catnip Bust

Cat Questioned in Connection With Catnip Bust

By Jennifer Uhlich, FluffPo Special Correspondent

Sir Henry Shackleton, a self-described “global explorer” who recently settled in Northern California, was held for questioning Monday after police raided a massive catnip den directly across the street from his residence.

“We found evidence he may be connected to this illicit operation,” says detective Roger McAward. “He’s a kitty of interest in our ongoing investigation.”

Neighbors describe Shackleton as “a colorful character with a good heart,” and expressed disbelief that he could be involved in criminal activity.  "He may have lived a pretty wild life before now, but he’s never caused any trouble in this neighborhood,“ says Michelle Gelmann.

Randy Miller, another neighbor, did recall seeing Henry looking glassy-eyed and covered with green flakes on several occasions, but said, "I thought it was just a cat thing.”

Puppy Naming Brainstorm Goes Horribly Awry

Puppy Naming Brainstorm Goes Horribly Awry

What began as an innocent effort to name a foster puppy turned into a wild free-for-all when friends at a weekend barbecue began writing down ridiculous suggestions.

The list “covered both sides of a piece of paper by the end of the night,” writes Paul Jay on his website, recounting the incident. “Some of these are from good friends, some from kindly folk we had just met, and some, I’m pretty sure, are from random homeless people who wandered into our house looking for empty bottles and used aluminum foil.”

The outrageous suggestions include:

Inspector Pancakes

Scrappity

Lord Waffles

Douglas Fairbanks

Herman Weintraub

Backstreet Boys

Senator Cuddlebreath

Sebastian From The Little Mermaid
