Cat Still Trying to Get the Hang of Partying
Cat Still Trying to Get the Hang of Partying
According to sources, Ponce de León, an area cat, hasn’t quite mastered the art of partying.
“Poncey is trying really hard, I know he is,” opined Gail Collins, a local party planner. “But he’s just doing it wrong.”
Last weekend the cat threw a party, said Collins, but then spent the whole time just rubbing his face on the onion dip bowl, which got cat fur in the dip.
“No one was really happy about that,” reported Collins.

Area Bird Claims He Is ‘Not Angry’
Area Bird Claims He Is ‘Not Angry’
A local birds’ rights group is up in arms (wings?) this evening because the hit video game Angry Birds was recently brought to their attention. The group, Friends of a Feather, was notified of the game’s existence when one of its members complained that he was being unfairly characterized by co-workers as ‘angry’ just because he bore some resemblance to the birds in the game.
“We were shocked to learn about the existence of Angry Birds. It perpetuates complete falsehoods about the nature of these majestic and loving creatures,” said FoF spokesperson Anna Kulpauer, adding that Frank, the bird who complained to the group, is “not an angry bird.”
It seems unfathomable that the organization is only just now hearing about a game that is 3 years old and has had over 1.7 billion downloads. Nevertheless, FoF plans to mount a full media campaign later this year to fight what it says are nasty bird stereotypes.

Cat’s Home Makeover Show Renewed for 2nd Season
Cat’s Home Makeover Show Renewed for 2nd Season
Fans of the hit HGTV show Cat Builds a Hot Tin Roof will be excited to learn that the network has picked it up for a second season, according to TVGuide.
The home makeover show – in which a cat named Sam remodels dilapidated houses and apartments while their owners are on vacation – has been chided by some critics as formulaic. But fans can’t get enough of the eye candy.
“Normally, it’s a hunky carpenter who comes in to install beams and cabinets,” says Marcy Stillwater, who has watched the show religiously since episode one. “But Sam brings in kitties, puppies, koala bears – the cutest day laborers you’ve ever seen!”
Some have speculated that the “reality show” is anything but. “How could a bunch of kittens with no thumbs install a hot water heater? How?" writes Duncan Geoffrey in his Entertainment Weekly review. "There must be a human crew.”
But the show’s producers hold fast to their commitment that everything you see unfold in each episode is real, minus some small editing liberties here and there.
