STUDY: When the Working Day Is Done, 97% of Cats Just ‘Wanna Have Fun’

Psychologists at Dartmouth University have published a paper on feline stress. Their findings indicate that most cats – a whopping 97% – engage in some sort of playful activity at the conclusion of a working day. Why?

“They just wanna,” says Dr. Richard Berkus, the lead author of the paper. “They just wanna,” Dr. Berkus repeated, presumably for emphasis.

The study was conducted with a representative sample of 1,000 cats, many of whom have stressful day jobs.

“We found an overwhelming majority of cats like to relieve daily stress by letting loose and having fun,” says Dr. Berkus. “They want to be the ones to walk in the sun, you know?”

Break Dancing Puppy Launches 12-City Tour

Hot on the heels of YouTube fame, a break dancing puppy named Willy has finalized negotiations with Clear Channel Events to launch a 12-city tour in the North Eastern U.S.

“Willy is a rising star whose moves will blow you away,” says Kevin Sapphire, a spokesperson for Clear Channel. “His tour is going to be a slam dunk for fans, his career, and our business.”

Willy first wowed dance enthusiasts when a video of him spinning on one paw lit up the Internet. Ever since the viral hit, agents and talent scouts have been calling.

“One minute he’s practicing in the living room, the next he’s got a manager booking hotels for his tour,” says Phil Kramer, Willy’s current roommate. “The Internet is crazy, man.”

Puppy-Run Newspaper Delivery Service Sees Hard Times in Internet Age

PaperPups, Inc. is very close to bankruptcy, according to a number of insiders. The puppy owned and operated newspaper delivery service has signed its lowest client roster in a decade, thanks to the demise of many local dailies.

The Internet is surely to blame, as more Americans get their news from online websites and social networks like The Twitters and Google+. But not everyone is happy about it.

“Paper will never die. It’s just better,” said an old person, who still gets The Herald Sun delivered every morning by PaperPups. “The Internet is too flashy. And it doesn’t have a smell like newsprint does. I need the smell.”
