Cat Surprised by Romney’s Paul Ryan Pick

By Scott Friedstein, Fluffpo Correspondent

According to reports, a local cat is still in a state of disbelief after it was announced Saturday that Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan would be joining Mitt Romney on the 2012 Republican ticket.

A politically inclined kitty, Brickle had tuned into CNN just for the announcement. Suffice it to say, he was unprepared for the news that followed.

“He’d been following the race pretty closely,” says Rick Turner, a source close to the situation. “He thought Tim Pawlenty would be a shoo-in. If not him, maybe Bobby Jindal. Chris Christie was always a long shot. But Paul Ryan? He was not expecting that at all.”

Cat Names Popsicles as Favorite Summer Treat

Hazel the cat thinks there’s only one way to truly beat the summer heat: popsicles. 

“She loves fruit, mostly orange, but sometimes raspberry,” said friend Jamie O’Toole.  According to O’Toole, Hazel will easily chomp through a box of pops each week during the hottest days of August.  "When the mercury pushes 95 degrees, Hazel isn’t happy until she’s got a popsicle in her paws.“
