Pup Won’t Give Up on Shrunken Sweater

April 22, 2015 · Leave a Comment

We’ve all been there. A big load of laundry with a wool sweater mixed in. You throw it all into the dryer on high. An hour later: pure sorrow.

“Not for Norbert,” Ron Kingston says of his roommate, a 3-pound pup from New Jersey. “I think he’s in denial.”

Norbert’s favorite red sweater came out of the dryer about three sizes smaller. “He couldn’t accept that it’s ruined,” says Kingston. “So he just smooshed himself into it. He can barely walk upright and it squeezes his tongue out of the side of his mouth. But, he’s got a lot of history with that thing.”

BREAKING: Area Cat Does Not Want to Share

April 20, 2015 · Leave a Comment

According to reports out of Palm Desert, CA, two cats are being forced to share one box. They’re not happy about it.

Sources on the ground tell The Fluffington Post that while neither cat is enthused by the situation, is it Prince Whiskerton, pictured on the left, who is most upset. By most accounts Whiskerton is generally an easy going cat, but he is very territorial.

“That’s pretty common for cats,” said U.C. San Diego feline psychologist and Fluffington Post senior cat behavior analyst Cynthia McCaffrey. “Cats like to stake out their favorite spots – a patch of sun, a chair, a pillow, someone’s shoe – and once claimed, they see it at theirs in every sense of the word.”

McCaffrey says that just like people, some kitties are good at sharing, some of them aren’t. But the developing situation in Palm Desert has the makings of disaster for one key reason.

“Let’s not forget we’re talking about a box here,” said McCaffrey. “This isn’t a couch or some old patio furniture or something. This is a box. The only thing more like catnip to cats than boxes is, well, um, I guess catnip. Point is, this could get real ugly, real fast.”
