Kitten Prospector Finds Gold in Attic

Everyone laughed at Tiny when he uprooted his entire family and headed north into Attic Country in the hopes of striking it rich.  "There’s no treasure up there,“ they said.  "You’re a fool and you’ll pay for your hubris!” they warned.  But Tiny may have had the last laugh.

News arrived last night via the wires that Tiny has struck gold in the attic – literally.  The cat has reportedly come across a cache of gold jewelry, antiques and other valuables.  Though no appraisal has been made, rumors are that Tiny’s haul could be worth into the low four figures, a potentially life-changing amount of money for the cat.

Tiny’s urgent telegraph from the attic read in part, “Found gold. Stop.  Lots of it. Stop.  Only Fancy Feast from here on out. Stop.”

Cat Needs New Slip Cover

Jameson, a cat from Newport News, VA, is raising money via crowdfunding web site IndieGoGo for a new slipcover.  Jameson’s current look is getting a little worn and dated, and it could really use an update.  He decided to go with a slipcover instead of upholstery because it is more economical and easier to maintain.

“We’re about 35% to our goal with a little over 5 days left,” said friend and funding campaign manager George Everbeck.  "That seems a little daunting, but we’re told that we’re actually right on track.  Jameson is really excited to get some new threads, so I’m hoping things work out.“

Prized Cat Collection Stolen

A local man’s cat collection was pilfered by burglars last night, the latest in a string of area cat burglaries.  The collection, which has won numerous awards, was taken on Monday night while owner Clarence Bichlebaum was at a charity dinner.

“When I got home, almost everything was gone,” recalled Bichlebaum on a local television news report this morning.  "Only one of my precious cats remained in the display case.  Just one!“

Police are looking for any information related to this and other recent thefts.  Bichlebaum has promised a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of whoever took his cats.
