Puppy Has Trouble Landing VC Funding
Puppy Has Trouble Landing VC Funding
Deefa, a local puppy and Internet engineer, is having a lot of trouble landing seed funding for his new startup, according to a report from Pando Daily. The puppy is currently seeking $50k in convertible notes to get his iPhone app – a social fire hydrant photo sharing and review service – off the ground.
“So far he’s had at least three promising meetings with angel investors,” said Pando writer Scott Willem, “but he has yet to actually get any commitments.”
Sources tell Willem that Deefa is very confused. He thinks he has a solid app idea, he’s tested am MVP version with real users and had solid results, and he’s wearing his hoodie. "He really can’t figure out why no one will write him a check,“ wrote Willem.

Cat Sits In Box; Doesn’t Get the Appeal
Cat Sits In Box; Doesn’t Get the Appeal
An area cat named Sigge finally gave into peer pressure this morning and sat in a box in the kitchen. Sitting in a box has been a hot trend in the feline world for the past couple of years, but until now, Sigge had resisted.
“To be honest, he was underwhelmed,” said Francis Nordquist, a source close to the situation. "He sat in the box for awhile and was like, ‘Yeah, okay. Now what?’ He just didn’t get what the fuss was about.“
Sigge plans to try sitting in a larger box tomorrow to see if that’s any better.

A hamster named Snowball has been messing with Twitter’s new video app called Vine, with impressive results.
“He’s made a few videos from inside his ball, inside his tubes,” says Frank Shankman, a source familiar with the situation. “Not sure how he fits his iPhone 5 in there with him, but it just works.”

Cat Launches International Snowflake Registry
Cat Launches International Snowflake Registry
A Norwegian Forest Cat named Miko has kicked off an initiative to catalog every snowflake that falls to Earth during the winter of 2013.
“He’s not convinced that every one is unique,” says Richard Tobin, whom Miko appointed president of the International Snowflake Registry. “The only way to know for sure is to gather up every single one, take a photo under the microscope, and file them in a database. Once that’s done, we do digital comparative analysis to see if there are any matches. It’s ridiculously tedious and kind of stupid, but Miko couldn’t think of any other way to spend $36 billion.”
