Cat Demands Resupply of Lucky Charms Cereal

After nearly three weeks without his favorite morning meal, a cat named Bo has staged a breakfast sit-in until his demands are met.

“He’ll be camped out there until he sees Lucky Charms back in the pantry,” says Frida Lee, a spokesperson for the miffed kitty. “It’s one thing to switch to store-brand cereal, but to ditch it altogether? This will not stand.”

Witnesses say the standoff has been tense, but as of Wednesday, there has been no violence.

“He’s not out for blood here,” says Lee. “This is about standing up for what’s right. Also, soggy marshmallows.”

Kittens Announce Engagement on Twitter

Fritz and Mitzy are in love, and they wanted the world to know. That’s why the two kittens turned to social media to announce their engagement earlier today.

“It came as a bit of a shock,” said Sarah Platis. “I thought they’d only been out on a couple of days. But I’m really happy for them.”

The cats sent out simultaneous tweets while at work today announcing their intention to marry. Together, the two tweets have been retweeted or favorited over 220 times.

Cat Re-Opens Diplomatic Relations With North Korea

Belligerent rhetoric from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un heated up over the weekend, with threats against South Korea and the U.S. flying furiously.

Concerned for the welfare of his nation, a cat named Lilo worked his contacts in Washington and was able to get a direct line to Pyongyang with the hope of cooling tensions.

“He figured if Dennis Rodman could do it, he might as well try,” says Jerry Rusbacher, a friend of the cat who teaches international relations at Florida State University. Rusbacher is referring to the unfettered access granted to the former NBA star when he visited Mr. Kim earlier in March, which perplexed many analysts. “Not sure how much progress Lilo made, but it sounds like he and Kim Jong-un had a productive conversation.”

Cat’s College Facebook Pics Cost Him a Job

It’s a well-documented fact that employers check out the social media profiles of job candidates, looking for signs of debauchery that might reflect poorly on the company.

If only Grimmace, a cat from Lunenburg, MA, had been aware of his Facebook privacy settings when interviewing for an Accounts Receivable position with a local packaged goods distributor.

“He had a great meeting with the manager,” says Rosie Stone, a friend of the cat. “His resume was perfect, they have a shared passion for yarn. We thought it was a slam dunk. Then, out of the blue, they sent him a ‘thanks but no thanks’ email. He was really heartbroken.”

Why the sudden change?

“Those crazy party photos from his college days definitely hurt his chances,” says social media expert and author Danny Fitzpatrick. “You’re going to want to go back into your Timeline and hide any of those red Solo cup pictures. And make sure you’re fully clothed in all the photos you leave behind. It’s just common sense, really.”
