Area Cat Grows Own Salad Greens

Area Cat Grows Own Salad Greens

In an effort to be more healthy in 2013, a local kitty named Suzy has taken the bold step of adding a salad to every meal.  But all those fresh greens and veggies were getting expensive.  That’s why friends say she built an elaborate hydroponic growing system in her basement.

“The people at the garden center took one look at her shopping cart and started to snicker,” said roommate Chloe Bale, who helped Suzy assemble the subterranean garden.  "I think they assumed she was growing pot.“

According to Bale, the cat is producing four heads of romaine lettuce each week, along with arugula, baby spinach, alfafa sprouts, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.

NYC Rent Increases Cause Kittens to Live 6 to a Loft

NYC Rent Increases Cause Kittens to Live 6 to a Loft

By mirandate, FluffPo Correspondent

New York City: Perpetual rent increases are nothing new to humans, but the latest increases in rent – averaging 3.3% a month – have led even kittens to crowd into lofts in trendy areas. Entire litters of kittens are moving into desirable baskets in close proximity to food dishes, televisions, TV guides and fireplaces. 

Jennifer Walton, a Brooklyn-based real estate broker, said “It’s unfortunate that rent increases for cats have increased so rapidly, but with the explosive growth of trendy areas, the down payment needed for a cat condo, most post-weaning kittens have no other choice but to crowd into a loft and use each other to keep warm." 

Walton continued: "I do have some great properties to show this week, right near some exciting cat nightlife spots, such as a basket of clean laundry and the kitchen counters next to a glass of water.” All kittens with good credit and who are up-to-date on vaccines are encouraged to contact Walton for their New York City rental needs.

Area Kitty Is Ready for Spring Break in Mexico

Area Kitty Is Ready for Spring Break in Mexico

Though we’re only a couple of weeks into the Spring semester, Buster’s mind is completely occupied by thoughts of sunny Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. That’s because yesterday the cat from State College, PA  booked a trip to the resort destination for his Spring break in March.

“He’s totally ready to go,” said Maggie Schulte, who lives across the hall from Buster. “He can’t concentrate on homework at all.”

According to Schulte, Buster spent days agonizing over vacation brochures. Finally deciding on Cabo after he learned that Vladivostok, Russia – his other top choice – is actually quite cold in the winter.  Now he’s got his bags packed, including his lucky sombrero.

“He claims that as long as he’s got that hat, it’s a sure thing,” she said. “I have no idea how he’s going to get through eight more weeks of classes.”
