Kitten Needs Afternoon Siesta at Work

Tiny the kitten needs his afternoon nap – without it he just can’t be productive for the rest of the day.

“At first I was skeptical,” said Jim Towers, his boss.  "Letting employees sleep while on the clock isn’t something I’m really comfortable with.  But my wife went to bat for Tiny and convinced me that, hey, if I’m gonna hire cats, I should get used to it.“

Towers concedes that the nap does seem to energize Tiny for the end-of-the-day grind, but he’s putting his foot down at just the one nap.  "Once I gave in on the afternoon siesta, Tiny put in requests for an early morning nap, a mid-morning snooze, and an after lunch doze,” said Towers.  "Nope. Not gonna happen.“

Cat Joins Neighborhood Watch

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

A local cat answered the call of duty last week by joining the highest citizen-based crime-stopping network his town could offer – the Waukesha, WI neighborhood watch.

“Louie was always a vigilant cat,” says Fran Crenshaw, a source close to the situation. “This just made sense. Besides, he always wanted to join.”

Most days, Louie can be found by his favorite window, looking out for any suspicious activity. His laundry basket outpost is said to give him an optimal, cozy vantage point over his immediate surroundings.

“He sits there pretty much all day,” says Crenshaw. “Watching. Sleeping here and there, but mostly watching. If that doesn’t scream ‘upstanding citizen,’ I don’t know what does.”

Narcoleptic Kitten Passes Out Cold

A kitty named Gustav was wrapping up some household chores when he passed out cold on the dining room floor. His doctors later confirmed that kitten narcolepsy is fairly common.

“Many cats find they are suddenly ‘plum tuckered out,’ to use a medical term,” says Dr. Nathan Grindhouse, MD. “All it takes is a quick cat nap, and they’re back on their feet.”

Cat Dissatisfied With Rental Car Amenities

An Avis customer care representative got an earful on Wednesday when a cat named Spike complained about the lack of features in his rental car.

“He kept asking about the tape player,” says Carl French, the Avis employee. “I tried to explain that we haven’t rented a car with a tape deck since 1997, but he wouldn’t have it.”
