Meet Jack Gepetto: The Cat with the Tongue that Won’t Quit

Meet Jack Gepetto: The Cat with the Tongue that Won’t Quit

This is Jack. At 6 weeks old his owners learned that he had a fused jaw, meaning he would have a lot of trouble eating and his chances of survival were limited. But Jack’s a fighter.

After a few months of trial and error, syringe feeding and a handful of operations to remove most of his teeth, Jack figured out how to nom on regular cat food. Now he lives a happy and normal life – albeit with a tongue that refuses to stay inside his mouth.

But that just adds to Jack’s charm. He’s a star and proof that cat’s really do have nine lives!

Be sure to follow Jack on Instagram and Twitter, and check out his website.

Scientists Discover Happiest Puppy

Twice in the past editors at The Fluffington Post have thought they had discovered the happiest dog on earth: once a year ago and then again four months ago. Not so, say scientists at Sapienza University of Rome, who point to Ellie, whose happiness levels are off the charts.

“Ellie may literally be the happiest dog alive right now,” said researcher Salvatore Magliocco. “Ellie’s showing extremely elevated levels of serotonin and an increased number of endorphins. She’s just really happy, all the time.”

Off the charts happy, according to Magliocco, who says that Ellie’s general mood is unprecedented. When compared to other dogs on record, Ellie is nearly twice as happy by most metrics.

“She never seems sad,” he said. “We’d expect this amount of happiness to come with some manic tendencies, but she’s all peaks, no valleys. This is just one happy dog!”

Kitten Completes Record Number of Chin-Ups

Last Thanksgiving, Duchess the cat was made the butt of family jokes when she was unable to complete even one chin-up. This year, she’s been training hard to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

The kitten has been doing Crossfit four days per week since June in an attempt to build up strength. Yesterday, she completed a personal best seven chin-ups.

“We’re really proud of her,” said trainer Tamara Cole. “When she first joined the gym she was this little bit of a thing who could barely even pull herself up onto the bar. Now she’s hard as a rock.”
