Cat Enjoys Reading More After Getting Glasses

Marabelle the cat always hated reading. English was her least favorite subject in school on account of all the books she was assigned. But that all changed last week when she got her first pair of reading glasses.

“I don’t think she realized that reading isn’t supposed to hurt,” said optometrist Dr. Avery Wong. “She just figured that’s how it was for everyone.”

But Marabelle is extremely nearsighted. Since she got her new specs, she won’t stop reading.

“Oh she loves it!” said Janice Welles. “She’s read everything in the house and just signed up for a library card.”

According to Welles, Marabelle is even reading books over her summer vacation, a completely unthinkable occurrence just a couple of weeks ago.

Local Cat Is Angry About Something

Friends are perplexed by what has a local cat named Swizzle in such a tizzy. The cat has reportedly been in a foul mood since Tuesday, but won’t let one why.

“Who knows what’s bothering him,” said Tucker Trahn, a close friend. “He came home from work in a total funk and was slamming doors all over the house. He won’t say anything about it, but he’s been angry for days now.”

According to Trahn the bad mood is unusual for Swizzle, who generally keeps his emotions close to the vest.

“I’m not surprised he won’t tell anyone what’s bothering him,” he said. “But I am shocked it has gone on this long. Something must really be chewing at him.”

Cat Contractor Meticulously Inspects His Work

Tim the cat’s reputation as one of the best contractors in the tri-state area didn’t just happen overnight. He worked hard at it.

The cat is a reputed perfectionist (or “purrfection,” as his ads promise) and meticulously checks ever inch of every project he takes on.

“The amount of time and care he put into making sure everything was executed properly was incredible,” said Tawnee Phillips, who hired Tim to rebuild her deck last year. “I mean, yeah, he got distracted a couple of times by birds, but mostly he was out there inspecting his work.”

His consistent top rating on Angie’s List is important to him. “That’s what drives him,” said electrician Sarah Cho, who often works with the cat. “He wants to be the best.”
