Cat Grows Epic Mustache for Movember
Hamilton is a pretty funny guy, but he’s very serious when it comes to men’s health. That’s why he went whole hog on his Movember mustache to raise money and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer.
“It only took him a week to grow it out,” says Fred Campbell, a source close to the situation. “But he’s been maintaining it for the rest of the month.”
Man Found Dead Under Giant Cat
NYPD officers identified the body of area resident Sean Celaya beneath what one onlooker described as a “feline monstrosity.”
“One day he was living his life, minding his own business. The next, he’s squashed by a giant cat,” neighbor Saul Steinberg tells The Fluffington Post. “It’s a damn shame, I tell you.”
Vegas, the cat in question, was brought in by police for questioning, but released on her own recognizance, pending a manslaughter investigation.

A Miami, FL cat named Peaches had merely run to the convenience store for a pack of AA batteries.
“She must have gotten turned around,” says Cassidy Coleman, a source close to the situation.
The next thing anyone knew, she was strolling through the studio of the local Univision news station.
“She waltzed right through the weather broadcast,” says Coleman. “We all had a good laugh.”

Cat Cloner Still Not Fully Operational
Scientists at UCLA’s Center for Cat Genetics have announced another delay in their cat cloning project. The decade-old initiative has become a black spot on the university after years of delays. Over $250 million in federal grant money and alumni donations have been sunk into the research without a fully operational cloning machine.
“The machine still has some major kinks,” said Dr. Winslow Bommer, who has run the project since 2009. "We’re maybe 85 or 90% there. But unfortunately, the clones we’re creating aren’t exact copies.“
The current bugaboo perplexing the team is one of appearance transcription coding, according to Bommer. "Basically, we can make a second cat, but instead of an exact copy, we get an exact opposite. Markings are reversed, opposite eye colors, etc. One cat will be mild mannered and sleepy, the clone will be off the wall and rambunctious,” he explained.
Bommer seemed optimistic that the bugs will be solved, but stressed that their current June 2013 target date for a commercially viable cloner is no longer a likelihood.

Chiropractor: Better Napping Position Can Cure Cat Backaches
According to Dr. Rick Bennett, D.C., 75% of all feline back pain is caused by poor sleeping practices. Cats have a tendency to nap in hyperextended positions, explained Bennett, which can cause pain in the lower lumbar region.
“It’s an easily correctable problem,” said Bennett. He often prescribes a sleeping brace to cats complaining of backache, which helps ease them into a more healthy napping position.
“They don’t like it at first,” Bennett conceded, “but the results are remarkable.”
