Cat’s Toupee Isn’t Fooling Anyone

Feline pattern baldness afflicts over half a million kitties worldwide. And while advancements in hair transplant procedures have been made in recent years, the majority of cats still opt for old fashioned toupees to cover up those bald spots.

Most kitties seem to pull it off, but Dexter, a cat from Modesto Beach, CA, may just have the worst hair piece in existence.

“I walked into the office last week and there was Dexter wearing that… rug,” recalled Angela Morantini, who works with the cat. “It was so obviously a toupee, but Dex just goes about his business as if everything is normal. I almost peed my pants laughing.”

According to Morantini, Dexter wouldn’t admit to any of his co-workers that he was wearing a hair piece, but no one was fooled.

“I said to him, ‘I am not going to take you seriously as long as you’re wearing that thing,’” she said. “And he just looks at me like, ‘What?’ Hysterical.”

Exotic Short Hair Refuses to Go to Work

Some days, it is really hard to force yourself out of bed for work. For Cleeves the cat, that type of day is every day. The Exotic Short Hair kitty has refused to get up for work every day the past week, and friends are starting to worry.

“He goes through stretches like this,” said Harry Grigsby. “He’ll spend the whole day sleeping and barely move. Everyone says not to worry. He’s a cat. But it seems pretty bad to me. I think he’s depressed.”

“Do cats get depressed? Yes,” Donna Jiang, a cat psychologist. “But sleeping a lot isn’t a symptom. In fact, it’s normal for cats to sleep a lot and generally be lazy, so it can be really difficult to diagnose kitty depression. If he stops eating or grooming himself, it’s time to see a vet. But just sleeping all day? Nah, that’s a cat thing.”

Cat Still Trying to Get the Hang of Partying

According to sources, Ponce de León, an area cat, hasn’t quite mastered the art of partying.

“Poncey is trying really hard, I know he is,” opined Gail Collins, a local party planner. “But he’s just doing it wrong.”

Last weekend the cat threw a party, said Collins, but then spent the whole time just rubbing his face on the onion dip bowl, which got cat fur in the dip.

“No one was really happy about that,” reported Collins.

Cat’s Home Makeover Show Renewed for 2nd Season

Fans of the hit HGTV show Cat Builds a Hot Tin Roof will be excited to learn that the network has picked it up for a second season, according to TVGuide.

The home makeover show – in which a cat named Sam remodels dilapidated houses and apartments while their owners are on vacation – has been chided by some critics as formulaic. But fans can’t get enough of the eye candy.

“Normally, it’s a hunky carpenter who comes in to install beams and cabinets,” says Marcy Stillwater, who has watched the show religiously since episode one. “But Sam brings in kitties, puppies, koala bears – the cutest day laborers you’ve ever seen!”

Some have speculated that the “reality show” is anything but. “How could a bunch of kittens with no thumbs install a hot water heater? How?" writes Duncan Geoffrey in his Entertainment Weekly review. "There must be a human crew.”

But the show’s producers hold fast to their commitment that everything you see unfold in each episode is real, minus some small editing liberties here and there.
