Area Cat Down One Life After Couch Tumble
Cats are known for their lightning reflexes and supernatural feats of balance. But Tinker isn’t your average cat.
“She thought she could jump and reach the top of the couch. She was wrong,” says Rebecca Pally, the clumsy cat’s roommate.
In an effort to scale the back of the sofa, Tinker leaped from the TV stand.
“She had decent footing at first,” Pally explains. “But then she started slipping.”
The turbulence came as a shock to Tinker, which only compounded the misstep.
“She bonked the ground pretty good,” says Pally. “Eight more lives to go.”

Cat Accelerates Plan to Upgrade Kitchen
Cooking doesn’t have to be hard. But when your studio apartment kitchen is tinier than Guy Fieri’s tact, it can be frustrating.
Amateur chef and cat Milo has wanted to expand his kitchen for some time now.
“He tried to make a flatbread pizza last night,” friend Richard Tempee tells The Fluffington Post. “There was nowhere to roll out the dough. He didn’t have a baking sheet big enough. And the cheese ended up all over the floor.”
That was the last straw. According to sources close to the situation, Milo has moved up his home renovation project, from October to July.
“He wasn’t quite ready to do it. It will put a strain on his bank account for sure,” says Tempee. “But, he just can’t live like this anymore. The kitty needs a place to cook.”

Cat to Child: We Are Not Watching ‘Curious George’ Again
There’s only so much a cat can take. After the fifth consecutive time watching the same episode of Curious George (S7E4, “Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye”), Tiger the cat had enough, and according to reports, refused to watch again no matter how many times four-year-old Billy Anderson asked.
“Usually, Tiger’s a really good babysitter,” said Alice Anderson, Billy’s mother. “He has a great rating on Care.com and he’s been awesome with Billy. Very patient for a cat.”
But, said Anderson, her son has been on a big Curious George kick of late.
“He just can’t get enough of that monkey,” she said. “And you know how four-year-olds are – he’ll watch the same episode on repeat for hours. He has the whole thing memorized.”
When Billy requested “Georgie!” (as he calls it) for the sixth time, that’s when Tiger lost it. He refused to put on Curious George and instead queued up something on Netflix that he wanted to watch.
“Pulp Fiction,” said Anderson. “I mean, great movie, but not really age appropriate. Billy’s been going around the house the past two days daring me to say ‘what’ again. It’s… not what you want.”
Anderson said she’ll probably not be hiring Tiger again, but she won’t give him a bad rating on Care.com because she “gets it.”
