Hamster Retires From Tailor Business
It’s been 10 fruitful years of hemming pants and darning socks, but a hamster tailor named Velvet has finally hung up his needles.
“He’s earned his retirement,” says fellow business owner Sal Greenblatt, who runs a dry cleaner adjacent to Velvet’s shop. “And the business is in good hands with his son taking over. It’ll be around for 10 more years, at least.”

Hamster Dominates Speed Eating Contest
A white hamster by the name of JoJo has been awarded first place in a North Carolina Speed Eating contest after downing more than 120 peanuts in less than 15 minutes.
“JoJo just powered through those suckers,” said one excited spectator. “He’s got big cheeks, so I think he just shoves them in there to make room for the next one.”
The hamster received a cash prize of $1,500 and free lunches at Mickey’s Diner, a local eatery, for life.

Hamster Emerges From New Year’s Bender
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
A hamster named Cupko has finally reappeared following an exceptionally epic New Year’s Eve bash. Friends say that Cupko had been hibernating for three straight days, and only emerged from his hutch late Thursday “to grab a glass of water.”
“He was chugging pellets the whole night,” says Paul Sturtevant. “I’ve never seen him party that hard. Guess he just needed to sleep it off.”
With the exception of a lingering hangover, Cupko is expected to face no other long-term consequences from the evening.
“Well, we had to reschedule brunch,” says Sturtevant. “There was no way he was getting up for that, though. Dude was in rough shape.”
