Doctors Attempt Risky ‘Siamese Cat’ Separation

Doctors Attempt Risky ‘Siamese Cat’ Separation

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

In a medical first, veterinarians will attempt to separate Louie and Peanut, a pair of cats that have become impossibly attached to one another.

“They’re what the medical community would term ‘Siamese cats,’” says Dr. Rand Carlson. “Except they’re not Siamese cats, as far as we can tell, they’re just regular cats – but they’re really, really stuck together.”

The procedure will involve a team of doctors equipped with the latest X-ray and laparoscopic technologies, as well as “several” cat treats.

“There will be a good deal of coaxing, and maybe some prying. There’s really no telling how long it will take,” says Carlson. “We’ll try to work quickly – but if they start scratching or hissing, we’re going to have to slow things down.”

At press time, the operation had been called off due to both cats “just not having it.”

FridgeCat Will Sit On Your Fridge, Do Little Else

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Fans of cutting-edge kitchen gadgetry will love the latest offering from KitchCo – particularly if they like cats.

FridgeCat™ has all the cuteness of a standard cat in a no-maintenance, easy-to-store item that’s guaranteed to take up at least some space.

“People are tired of the same old kitchen products,” says KitchCo spokesperson Len Woodson. “Our customers tell us they want something fresh, exciting, and technically nonfunctional. We listened.”

Whether sitting on the right side of the fridge or on the left, FridgeCat™ is sure to delight homeowners – as long as they don’t need anything from the freezer.

“Look, this isn’t going to be another SinkFerret™,” says Woodson. “We learned from that whole debacle. We’re smarter now – and we have a bit more R&D money.”

FridgeCat™ is available for pre-order next week, with rollout/recall expected in late July.

Cat’s Rapid Transit System Could Reduce Dependency on Fossil Fuels

Cat’s Rapid Transit System Could Reduce Dependency on Fossil Fuels

Dr. Boots, a researcher and cat at MIT, has unveiled what energy industry experts are calling a “game changer.”

“Imagine a transit system completely independent of gasoline,” says Ashley Moore, a writer who covers energy matters for The Washington Post. “Well, yes, I suppose Tesla is doing that too. But, Dr. Boots’ system is powered by dogs.”

Hop on a dog at any Canine Docking Station and ride it to your destination. Drop the dog off at the receiving end and go about your business. No gas, no parking, no hassle.

“I suppose only cats and other small animals would really be able to take advantage of a system like this,” admits Moore. “And you’ll need an awful lot of dog food to power it, which ultimately requires fossil fuels to produce. But – yeah, I guess it’s not really that great after all."
