Kitten Comes Forward as 3rd Powerball Winner

The excitement around the November 28th Powerball Lottery drawing had all but subsided when a third winner from Kansas City, MO came forward to claim his prize.

“His name is Miles, and he’s a kitten,” says Powerball administrator Kevin Forrester. “His winning ticket entitled him to $157 million before taxes. He took it in a lump sum.”

What’s a kitten to do with all that money?

“He spread it out on the floor and started sleeping on it,” says Sheila Winthrop, a family friend. “He just needed enough to get comfy. The rest went to charity.”

Internet Startup Hires Kitty to Run San Francisco Office

InstaFaceMash.com has been the toast of Silicon Valley since raising a significant angel round last month and coming out of stealth mode to enter private beta.  But behind the scenes, things at the office of the hip new Internet startup have been hectic.  That’s why the company has announced its first hire: a cat named Wilbur to serve as IFM’s founding office manager.

“We really need someone to whip our office into shape,” said IFM co-founder and COO Zak Richards.  "We’re constantly out of toner and no one knows how to work the Keurig.“

REPORT: Cat Ready For First Date

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to sources, Harry the cat is now officially prepared for his first date this Friday. Friends of the cat tell The Fluffington Post that Harry, despite having a few pre-date jitters, is “more than ready” for his romantic rendezvous, in addition to being “super stoked.”

“He was messaging this cute girl cat on OkCupid,” says Chad Franklin. “Eventually, he got up the courage to ask her out. She said yes. He probably wasn’t expecting that, but now they’ve got dinner reservations at Chez Meow. You can’t back out of something like that. So yeah, you could say he’s ready.”
