Cat’s Singing Disturbs Housemates

Cat’s Singing Disturbs Housemates

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

It was a seemingly peaceful apartment. Then, Jerry discovered his love of showtunes.

“He started off with Phantom, then Rent,” says Drew Farber, a friend of the cat. “His housemates were annoyed, but didn’t raise much of a fuss. Then he got into Les Mis.”

Soon, Jerry’s incessant renditions of “I Dreamed a Dream” and “One Day More” became too much to bear. 

“His housemates confronted him about it,” says Farber. “They reached an agreement after that – no Broadway during naptime. Since that pretty much covered any time of day, everybody was good. I still have no idea how he never heard of Cats.”

Owl Second Guessing Move to Caribbean

Owl Second Guessing Move to Caribbean

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Recently retired owl Amber last month moved to the US Virgin Island of St. Croix. But what was intended to be a quiet retirement, living out her golden years in paradise, has turned into a nightmare.

“She’s become the center of attention everywhere she goes on the island. People just stare at her, sometimes even through binoculars,” said close friend Alex Marinelli. "It’s rude. It’s like they’ve never seen an owl before.“

According to owl expert Dr. Nathan Twony of Ball State University, that very well could be the case.

"Long eared owls don’t usually get down that far south,” he said. “Seeing a bird like Amber in St. Croix would understandably cause quite a stir. I’m sure the local ornithological community is pretty excited.”

Facebook Ruins Bear Family Reunion

Facebook Ruins Bear Family Reunion

The Hensons, a large extended family of Alaskan brown bears, have been gathering at Katmai National Park for a reunion every summer. It’s a tradition of camping, fishing and re-connecting that goes back generations in this tight-knit group.

But this year, the revelry of reuniting with long-lost relatives was somewhat less exciting.

“Everyone is friends on Facebook,” says Diane Peterson, a long-time friend of the family. “They all see each other’s updates and chat constantly. So there was very little to talk about at the reunion. Everyone was all caught up.”

Reports indicate the normally rowdy bunch mostly sat by the river’s edge in awkward silence, with occasional remarks about the weather.

Puppy Thinks He Was Sold Counterfeit Tesla

Puppy Thinks He Was Sold Counterfeit Tesla

Johann, a puppy from Los Angeles, CA, has filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of Southern California and local law enforcement after purchasing what be believes is not actually a Tesla from an ad on Craigslist.

Sources familiar with the situation told The Fluffington Post that Johann responded to a Craigslist advertisement offering a used Tesla Model S for $25,000 with only 3,500 miles on it. The ad was allegedly placed by a dealer in San Diego, but the car that was ultimately delivered to the puppy does not appear to be a Tesla.

“It’s a sports car,” said Randy Kolberg, who lives across the street from the dog, “but I don’t think that’s a Tesla. Granted, I ain’t actually see one of those up close, but the car Johann got doesn’t have an engine. And I’m pretty sure Teslas aren’t made of plastic.”

Tesla Motors could not be reached for comment at press time.
