STUDY: Frisky Kitties Are Happier Kitties

New research from The Institute for Animal Well-Being finds that cats who jump around frenetically and play with inanimate objects are four to five times happier than kitties who loaf around all day.

“How do we determine a cat’s happiness?” posits Dr. Cole Farmer, who conducted the study. “We ask them about their day, their aspirations, their sleep habits. It’s a lot of data to compile, and I don’t want to bore you with the minutiae. We just know, OK?”

Puppy Threatens to Cry if He Does Not Receive Treats

Sources on the ground tell The Fluffington Post of a three hour stand-off between an adorable puppy and someone holding kibble.

“It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on down there,” says Reggie Colbert, an area resident. “But if they don’t give up the treats soon, there’s going to be tears. And it’s not going to be pretty.”

Authorities have advised the hostage to hold out as long as possible, but at this point, the outcome is anybody’s guess.

Cat Tattoos Are on the Rise

A new report from the U.S. Department of Commerce indicates that new cat tattoo parlor openings are up 1100% over the past decade.  Advances in “fur tattoo” technology are thought to have spurred the growing interest among felines in body art.

“Fur tattoos used to be a dangerous and pricey process,” said tattoo artist Skeeter O’Hair, the owner of Whiskers & Ink in Brooklyn, NY.  "These days, though, it’s quite safe and much more accessible.“

According to O’Hair, business has been through the roof this year, and he’s actually hiring additional artists to meet demand.

A cat named Falstaff was taken aback by the developments in the most recent episode of AMC’s popular drama Mad Men.

“That one scene – you know the one – where they finally find out what happened,” says Margie Canon, a family friend. “That really messed Falstaff up. He couldn’t sleep at all that night. Just kept thinking about it.”
