Dog Refuses to Leave Towel Until After Winter

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Winter hasn’t quite begun yet, but that hasn’t stopped a local dog from taking preemptive measures. According to friends, Bane has taken up residence in a warm, cozy towel and is refusing to come out until spring.

“He was really affected by the cold snap we had this week,” says Michelle Wirtz. “I told him the thermostat was at 70, but he wasn’t having any of it. He saw the towel and decided that was the best option. That was pretty much that.”

Though bargaining tactics have been used, the pup has refused to budge.

“I’ve tried treats, walkies, belly rubs… nothing’s worked,” says Wirtz. “We’ll see what happens when the mailman comes.”

Cat Bucks the Standing Desk Trend

Cat Bucks the Standing Desk Trend

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Despite recent studies showing the detrimental effects of too much sitting, San Francisco cat Tabby has been steadfastly ignoring the numerous emails from the HR department encouraging her to get up an move around.

The feline programmer works at a forward-thinking tech startup that has been offering employees the option to switch to standing desks and take walking meetings. They’ve also outfitted all hires with Fitbit tracking bands and instituted a monthly prize for whoever moves the most.

“We want to make sure that our team is happy and healthy. It’s good for our employees and it saves on our healthcare premiums,” HR manager Patricia Wallace said. “Everybody was really excited about bringing in standing desks except Tabby. She seems totally content to curl up on her chair, even though it’s not good for her. I mean she leave aside the health stuff, she can barely reach the keys!“

REPORT: Cat Is Awful at Taking Selfies

REPORT: Cat Is Awful at Taking Selfies

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Everyone’s taking selfies these days, so it was only a matter of time before Sheila got in on the action. The area cat recently purchased her first smartphone, and has reportedly been snapping away ever since.

“She really has no idea what she’s doing,” says Debra Russell, the cat’s owner. “I took a look at her Instagram the other day, and it’s just all terrible selfies.”

Photography experts tell The Fluffington Post that Sheila may be at a natural disadvantage.

“Cats can’t raise their arms very well,” says Frank Koenig of Sears Portrait Studio in Athens, GA. “The resulting low angle can be detrimental to the photo. She might also just be really bad at photography.”

The cat has apparently shown no signs of slowing down. 

“She’ll grow out of it – hopefully,” says Russell. “I honestly don’t know how many more close-up shots of whiskers I can look at.”
