Cats Sublet Dog Crate by the Hour
Reasonably priced rental space is hard to come by in New York. That’s why Brooklyn cats Miko and Willow opt to sublet from their neighbor, a dog named Ranger.
“Ranger’s a busy guy,” says Emily Banks, a source close to the situation. “He’s not using his crate 24/7, so he makes a little money on the side and the cats have a place to live while he’s out for a walk. Everybody wins.”
With a little encouragement, a baby duck named Charley ran just over one mile in four minutes – a milestone for any athlete.
“He’s really built up his endurance in recent months,” says Julio Medders, one of Charley’s running buddies. “I knew he was going to hit the mark, I just didn’t think it would be so soon.”

Wisconsin Pup Has Sights Set on Olympic Gold
A Portuguese water dog from Madison, WI has been training since birth (three months ago) to compete on the U.S. Olympic water polo team.
“Homer J. has been training really hard,” his coach Mathew Nimmons says of the determined pup. “But if he wants to get to London in 2012, he’s going to need to move on from the kiddie pool – and soon.”

Kitty Cocktail Craze Hits New York
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
The New York City cocktail scene got a fresh jolt this week as an exciting new drink made its debut. Dubbed the “Kit-Tini,” the shaken concoction has all the elements of the classic martini, with a feline twist.
“It’s a pretty simple drink,” says Sage Walters, head mixologist at Dram in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, preparing one for a patron. “Some gin, vermouth, a twist of lemon. You shake it up, strain it – then you take a cute little cat and just put it right there next to the glass. It really adds a nice touch.”
By all indications, the Kit-Tini is a big hit. "We can’t mix enough of them,“ says Walters. "It does get a little awkward when we have to tell people they can’t keep the cat. But mostly, they’re cool about it.”
