‘Rich Cats of Instagram’ Follows Lavish Lives of Kitties

It’s true what they say: cats really are in the 1%. That why an anonymous web user has launched a new Tumblr blog called Rich Cats of Instagram, which collects photos of kittens flaunting their wealth taken from the photo sharing service.

The site, which is clearly inspired by the similarly titled Rich Kids of Instagram, depicts kitties showing off designer clothes, driving expensive cars, and flashing wads of cash in front of private jets.

The photos above are taken from the Instagram account of a wealthy kitty with expensive taste in accessories.

Kitten Sticks It to Telemarketers

Kitten Sticks It to Telemarketers

There are few things worse in this world than SPAM telephone calls. They waste your time, your cell minutes and your patience.

But one kitten has made it his life’s mission to fight back.

“Jeff was so tired of getting offers for free cruises and mortgage refinances,” says Marlene Smith, a friend of the kitten. “But instead of hanging up on them, or asking them to remove him from the list – which never works – Jeff pretends to be interested in the offer.”

According to Smith, the clever cat plays along, right up until he gets a senior manager or salesperson, then lets them have it. “He’ll just suddenly scream bloody murder into the phone. It really freaks them out, and they never call back.”

Local Cat Wins 53rd Annual Pinata Tournament

Held every year in Guadalajara, Mexico, the World Pinata Championship brings seasoned stuffers and whackers from all over the globe. The tournament pits 50 brackets of competitors in one-on-one duels, whittling away the competition until a final match determines the ultimate victor.

“This year, it was a cat from Boston,” says Esteban Gutierrez, a referee who has officiated the tournament for 11 years. “His name is Benny, and he’s the 53rd champion. It was a great show.”

It was a hard-fought victory – Benny bested a number of previous champions to attain the title.

“As soon as he won the final round, he dove right in for the candy,” says Gutierrez. “It was … well, let’s just say it was an interesting photo op.”

‘Yep, Right There,’ Says Cat

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to sources, Izzy the cat is currently in the throes of an exceptionally satisfying scratch session. The cat’s owner tells The Fluffington Post that it happened largely by accident, but seems to really be working. 

“I just started scratching him underneath his chin,” says Phil LaBute, showing the patented scratch. “That was about four hours ago. I’m no cat expert, but I’d say he likes it.”

Others seem to agree.

“Oh yeah, he definitely likes it,” says cat expert Mark Brunault. “He’s purring pretty loud – that means he’s a happy kitty. That guy should not stop doing that.”
