Cat Annoyed by ‘Downton Abbey’ Spoilers

By mirandate, FluffPo Correspondent

St. Louis, MO – Francie, a cat who has long supported public television, became very annoyed Sunday when spoilers for this season’s Downton Abbey appeared on her Twitter feed. 

Lilia Vert, a source close to the situation, noted, “Every Sunday evening, I hang out with Francie on the couch and we watch Downton Abbey. She purrs all the time during that show. But when she checked Twitter Sunday morning, she found out this season’s big twist, and was so annoyed she horked up a big hairball. Right now I think she’s responding to the person who revealed the ending, even though I warned her that reading Twitter the night of a big TV broadcast was risky if she didn’t want to be spoiled. Ah, who am I kidding. She’s already pretty spoiled.”

Area Cat Finds Shortcut to Six Pack Abs

According to multiple reports, a local cat has found a way to skip the gym and still maintain abs of steel.  

“Basically, he found an old shopping bag that has a picture of this really buff guy on the front, and he sits in it.  All day. Without moving,” said Laney Withers, who lives next door to the cat.  "It’s really not a very good trick, and no one is buying it.“

The cat could not be reached for comment.

Cat Sits In Box; Doesn’t Get the Appeal

An area cat named Sigge finally gave into peer pressure this morning and sat in a box in the kitchen.  Sitting in a box has been a hot trend in the feline world for the past couple of years, but until now, Sigge had resisted.

“To be honest, he was underwhelmed,” said Francis Nordquist, a source close to the situation.  "He sat in the box for awhile and was like, ‘Yeah, okay. Now what?’  He just didn’t get what the fuss was about.“

Sigge plans to try sitting in a larger box tomorrow to see if that’s any better.

Cat Launches International Snowflake Registry

A Norwegian Forest Cat named Miko has kicked off an initiative to catalog every snowflake that falls to Earth during the winter of 2013.

“He’s not convinced that every one is unique,” says Richard Tobin, whom Miko appointed president of the International Snowflake Registry. “The only way to know for sure is to gather up every single one, take a photo under the microscope, and file them in a database. Once that’s done, we do digital comparative analysis to see if there are any matches. It’s ridiculously tedious and kind of stupid, but Miko couldn’t think of any other way to spend $36 billion.”
