Local Cat Won’t Shut Up About New Sneakers

A cat named Meex is really excited about his new pair of Nike kicks – so much so that he licks them clean every night, takes them to bed, and won’t stop yammering  about how great they are.

“We get it, you really love your sneakers,” says Josh Skidmore, a source close to the situation. “But you can only hear about Spring Sole technology 12 times before it gets old, you know?”

Trend Alert: Kitten Throw Rugs

According to consumer data released by Amazon.com, year-over-year sales of kitten throw rugs are up 435%.  That’s a huge increase and has lead to a shortage of the popular feline floor coverings.  "We just can’t make them as fast as people are buying them,“ says Joe Latos, CEO of noted cat rug manufacturer Purrfect Weave, Inc. 

Though the shortage is likely to last just a couple of weeks, prices for the fluffy rugs are expected to rise sharply and stay high for the foreseeable future.

Cat Demands to Be Read To

It turns out that technology cannot quell Simba’s love of reading – or, more precisely, his love of being read to.  It doesn’t matter that his books now come with animated pictures, musical soundtracks and interactive games, Simba still enjoys sitting back after a long day of napping and having one of his favorites – Curious George or The Cat in the Hat, perhaps – read aloud.  

You just can’t beat the classics.
