Cat Emerges From Year in Isolation Tube

Cat scientist Milo emerged today from a tube-shaped isolation pod after spending nearly 12 months locked inside.  Milo lived in the tube as part of an experiment by NASA to see how cats react to living alone for extended periods of time.

“This type of data is crucial for any cat-led missions to Mars or the outer solar system,” said NASA researcher Chet Verbinski.  "Milo did very well living in the tube.  He mostly slept and played with his feather on a string.  I don’t think he really noticed that he was alone.“

NASA hopes to send cats to Mars by 2017.

Cooper opened with his signature French Defense, while Mitzi countered with the Queen’s Gambit. While Cooper has captured more pieces of value, some analysts feel Mitzi’s position on the board could ultimately give her the upper hand during the end game.

The Fluffington Post will keep you apprised as the story develops.
