Kitten Loses Hide-and-Seek Tournament in Semi-Final Round

Many fans of the Gold Cup Hide-and-Seek Tournament, held annually in Peoria, IL, were excited about the prospects of a new contender – a fresh-faced kitten named Gus.

“Gus had everything going for him,” says Daniel Gibson, a writer for Sports Illustrated who has covered the Gold Cup for five years running. “He’s very small, very quiet and very grey. In short, easy to hide.”

But an upset came in the semi-final round, where Gus took a chance on a bowl that was just too shallow.

“He realized his mistake right away,” says Gibson. “But at that point, it was too late. Best he could do was ride out the decision. They found him about 12 seconds later, and he was eliminated.”

Dog Has Deep Psychological Problems After Being Raised by Cats

Tally, a Husky puppy, has become the latest Internet pet star after a series of extremely popular appearances on Reddit. The dog, who was raised by cats and exhibits a number of cat like behaviors, has made readers swoon across the globe.

But The Fluffington Post has learned that behind the awws, Tally and her friends are suffering. 

“She’s developed some real problems. She’s a total head case,” said one friend, who wished to remain anonymous. According to our source, the dog has been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In short: she won’t follow rules, she can’t concentrate on things and she’s becomes obsessed with herself.

We talked to feline psychologist Dr. Serge Marchaud.

“In my professional opinion, it was Tally’s upbringing by cats that likely brought out these afflictions,” he said. “These are all classic feline psychological issues. You rarely see them in dogs, especially not all at once.”

Cat Spends Hours Stalking Toy Mouse

Damocles the cat was concerned when he came downstairs to his favorite chair in the living room (he likes to sit under it, not on it) and noticed an intruder in his kingdom. There, in the middle of the room, was a small, grey mouse. That infraction would not stand.

According to eye witnesses, Damocles spent the next three days strategizing and laying the foundation for an attack. The mouse stood its ground. 

And 0700 local time, the cat launched his offensive. The battle lasted just four seconds and it was only then that Damocles realized the truth about his foe: the mouse was made of crocheted yarn.

“I’m not going to lie: he was a little bummed at first,” said spokesperson Trey Winterstone. “But the important thing is that the living room is safe again. We can’t lose sight of that.”
