Cat Still Adjusting to Earlier Work Schedule
Cat Still Adjusting to Earlier Work Schedule
When Toby the cat agreed to switch jobs earlier this month, he was mostly thinking about the fatter paycheck, fancy new title and luxe office on the fifth floor. What he didn’t count on was how difficult it would be to get used to the new schedule.
Now a few weeks into his new gig, the kitten is still having a lot of trouble waking up so early for work.
“He’s totally out of it in the mornings,” according to roommate Clancy Williams. “He just has a hard time waking up and getting ready.”
Toby hopes he’ll get the hang of it soon, or else he may have to request a transfer back to his old department.

Researchers Develop Method to Harness Puppy Energy
Researchers Develop Method to Harness Puppy Energy
Puppies could be the solution to the world’s energy problems, according to researchers from the University of West Staffordshire in Great Britain. A team there claims to have developed a way to harness excess energy given off by puppies and convert it into usable electric power.
“The key is to take the kinetic energy of a puppy at play and then feed it into a low density battery for storage and trasport,” said researcher Alan Fwickle. “Then it’s just a matter of offloading it into a cooling tower where it heats water to create steam and spins turbines.”
If the team’s research can be validated, it could be a boon for the clean energy industry.
According to Fwickle there are enough dogs in the world to meet all of the energy needs of Western Europe.

Kitten Mixologist Creates New Cocktail
Kitten Mixologist Creates New Cocktail
What do you get when you mix vodka, triple sec, orange zest, and cranberry juice, shake it over ice and pour it out? If you guessed a Pink Meow, then you must have visited Claude’s, the upscale bar in New Orleans that is home to the hottest mixologist in the city: a cat named Button.
Button’s signature drink, which she invented last year when she ran out of limes for Cosmos, has been a smash hit with locals and tourists alike. A recent write up in the New York Times has caused lines to form outside the bar on weekend evenings.
