Kitten Falls Asleep Reading World’s Most Boring Email

The subject line was simply “hi.” It seemed innocent enough.

But when Flower the kitten clicked on the fateful message, she knew the course of her day would be changed forever.

“hi flower, how r u? I’m good,” the email began. “I really just wanted to say hi and tell you that my mom finally got that mole removed, after like forever. I kept telling her, what are you waiting for?”

The message continued in the same vein from there. Needless to say, Flower passed out cold mid-sentence, and enjoyed a two-hour nap right there in the middle of the work day.

STUDY: Frisky Kitties Are Happier Kitties

New research from The Institute for Animal Well-Being finds that cats who jump around frenetically and play with inanimate objects are four to five times happier than kitties who loaf around all day.

“How do we determine a cat’s happiness?” posits Dr. Cole Farmer, who conducted the study. “We ask them about their day, their aspirations, their sleep habits. It’s a lot of data to compile, and I don’t want to bore you with the minutiae. We just know, OK?”
