Entire Class at Kitten School Distracted by Same Noise

Classes at Mrs. Fuzzy’s School for Wayward Kittens was disrupted yesterday for approximately 15 minutes when an unidentified noise distracted the entire class simultaneously.

“We were going over various napping styles, practicing our forms, and then all of a sudden there was this sort of buzzing sound outside,” said Eleanor Fuzzy, who runs the school. “I mean I didn’t hear it, but all the cats turned around at the same time.”

She said it took at least 15 minutes to quiet everyone down and get back to their lesson.

The sound was never identified.

Cat Hires Car for Tour of Countryside

Parisian cat Stella had never been out of her neighborhood of Montparnasse. So this year, on the occasion of her fourth birthday, she hired a car service to whisk her about the French countryside.

“There such a rich culture here,” said her friend Mathilde Durant. “These are the haunts of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Picasso and Matisse, Sartre and Stein. I think Stella felt she had no reason to leave.”

But, said Durant, with age came the desire to see the world beyond her small slice of Paris. 

Stella has only just begun her journey, which will last for four weeks, but so far she is loving it.

“Her Instagram feed is overflowing with pictures of all the sights she is seeing,” said Durant. “She is truly happy.”

Cat’s Car Is Fully Winterized

In anticipation of more bluster from the Polar Vortex, a Canadian cat named Samuel isn’t taking chances with his ride.

“Chains on the tires, aintifreeze wiper fluid and an emergency kit in the trunk,” says Cole Wratten, Samuel’s neighbor. “That cat’s got everything covered.”

And with good reason. Sources say Samuel was late to work three times this winter alone due to snow and freezing temperatures. “He can’t afford to miss another shift at the hairball factory. He’s prepared for anything now.”

Cat Lands Job as Book Editor at Harper Collins

New York City-based cat Miss Fanny has been hired by Harper Collins as a senior acquisitions editor under the HarperOne imprint.

“Miss Fanny is a fantastic editor with a keen eye for what audiences want,” said spokesperson Jake Nelson. “We’re excited to have her on board.”

The cat will be responsible for acquiring 10-15 projects per year in the True Crime and Politics categories. Her first acquisition, “Who Killed the Backyard Blue Jay,” is a harrowing non-fiction account of the case of what really happened to the dead bird found in a suburban backyard in 2007.
