STUDY: Cat Dreams Are Awesome

Research from the National Feline Sleep Institute indicates that cat dreams are, on average, 67% more fun than the dreams of humans.  While critics of the study say that the test group was too small and did not control for factors like whether the subjects had “had a good hairball lately,” study author Jan Gerbanski stands by his results.  

“Do you ever wonder why kittens sleep 20 hours per day?  It’s the dreaming – their dreams are just super cool,” he said.

Puppy Advocacy Group Says Dog Horror Films Are “Too Scary”

Dogs for Decency, an advocacy group dedicated to “protecting the innocence of puppies,” launched a campaign today that alleges that dog horror films are “too scary” for young pups.  The group says that films like the one pictured above (Paranormal Fetch 2) are unsuitable for dogs under the age of 49 (in dog years) in spite of ratings that allow younger puppies to purchase tickets unaccompanied.

Army’s Cute Puppy Battalion to See First Action

The U.S. Army confirmed the existence of its rumored Cute Puppy Battalion today.  The band of adorable puppies will be sent into conflict zones after the cessation of major combat operations with the mission of “winning the hearts and minds of locals,” according to a press release from the Army’s communications office.

“The CPB is really about making sure that our military operations succeed long-term, and maintaining a safe environment for peace keepers,” said Maj. General Eric Breslin.  

The Army has not announced where or when the CPB will be deployed, but did say that the patriotic pups would see action in 2012.

Role of Jabba the Hutt Cast In All Prairie Dog Version of Star Wars

If you thought the upcoming 3D re-releases of the Star Wars saga was the last you’d see of the popular sci-fi universe, think again.  Lucasfilm, Ltd. has announced that it will begin shooting an all prairie dog version of the classic films, starting – as the originals did – with the fourth film in the series, A New Hope.   

Noted prairie dog actor, Squeaks Brando, will play the role of Jabba in the scene initially re-added to the film in the 1997 re-release human version.
