Area Cat Kinda Bummed About Being Named “Poo”
After 10 years, it just dawned on a local cat that her name may not be the cutesy moniker she once thought, but a shorthand for excrement.
Poo has reportedly been lazy and despondent ever since coming to the realization, but sources close to the situation suspect she will bounce back relatively quickly.

Let’s face it – the average robot cat of the early ‘80s just didn’t cut the mustard. The sound effects were unrealistic, and the cuddle factor was notoriously low.
But the Roboto Neko Amigo, which hit store shelves in 1989, was a significant leap forward in consumer robotic cat technology. Featuring real angora fur and an advanced cuddle engagement system, the product raised the bar for the entire robo-pet industry.
Unfortunately, with a retail price tag of $1,599, Roboto Neko Amigo did not succeed commercially. But its influence is still felt today.

Cat Freed From Banister With Crisco
An area can was discovered with his head trapped upside-down in a staircase banister Wednesday afternoon.
Fortunately, thanks to a recent Paula Deen marathon on TV, there was plenty of Crisco in the house, which was used to grease the frightened kitty to safety.

City officials are investigating a kitten who did not acquire the requisite permits to hold a St. Patrick’s Day parade on public property this morning. Though the parade was arguably a success from a morale standpoint, a moratorium from civic organizations could make it very difficult for the kitten to hold similar events in the future.
