FedEx Cans Cat Caught Pilfering Packing Peanuts

FedEx Cans Cat Caught Pilfering Packing Peanuts

A cat working at a FedEx sorting facility in Louisville, KY has been relieved of his duties after managers found that he was stealing packing materials.  The thefts had apparently been going on for at least three months, but only came to light recently when security camera footage emerged of the cat lazily batting the foam peanuts around his office.  

Cat psychologists describe this behavior among cats as, “painfully common,” which is likely why UPS stopped hiring cats in its sorting facilities in 2009.

Rhode Island Terrier Picks Favorites in Super and Puppy Bowls

You might say that Sammy Adams, a 1-year-old Boston Terrier from Cumberland, RI, is a bit of a sports nut.

A huge New England Patriots fan, he’s already geared up for Sunday’s game. But he’s also taking sides in Puppy Bowl VIII. His top pick? Fumble, the chihuahua/terrier mix.

Dog Caught Practicing Super Powers Without a License

A dog from Ugento, Italy (whose name has not yet been released by authorities there) has been charged with engaging in super heroic activity without the proper credentials.

As the law stands, all super heroes must maintain a valid license from the Justice League. Practicing with an expired license can incur heavy fines, while an unlicensed super hero may face time in jail, depending on his municipality.

While details are still scant in this instance, it’s certain that the dog in question won’t be foiling criminals anytime soon.

Best Buy Adds Hamsters to Super Bowl Promotion

Technology retail giant Best Buy already announced a major mobile phone deal as part of this year’s Super Bowl marketing push.  Today the company further announced that it has added hamsters to its bag of tricks.   Every printer that the company sells during the week following the big game will come with a free technical support hamster.

Analysts are calling the promotion a smart move by the retailer.  "Hamsters are known for their computer savviness, but they can be pricey.  Including the creatures for free with printer purchases offers a huge benefit for consumers,“ said Elliot Kosmann of the industry-watching CDN Groupe.
