Local Cat Wins Award for Alertness
Area feline Clarence has been awarded the highest honor from the National Society of Alertness. The medal, given to one creature each year who “exhibits a high level of awareness of his or her surroundings,” was bestowed upon Clarence last night at a gala dinner.
“Clarence has been on our radar for a few years,” said NSA president Exicardo Morales. “He really stepped it up this year to become the most alert cat in the country.”

Cat Conducts Entire Orchestra While Asleep
Cat Conducts Entire Orchestra While Asleep
Giovanni, a cat who studies at the local music academy, has apparently come down with a case of “sleep conducting.”
“Oh, it’s totally a real thing,” confirmed academy provost Alex Dawson. “Sometimes, our students will become so engrossed in their studies, that they’ll start performing in their sleep. Giovanni’s case is rather advanced, though. It’s rare that we see someone conduct such a long piece, from start to finish, while asleep.”
According to doctors, Giovanni should make a full recovery.

Toronto Cat Is ‘Too Cool for School’
Researchers say a cat named Kennebunkport (Kenny to his friends) is exhibiting coolness readings that are off the charts.
“Kenny is a pretty cool cat,” says Dr. Marvin Burnette of the University of Toronto. “But when he puts those shades on, the coolness data spikes wildly. It’s hard to get a clear reading, but I think it’s safe to say he’s too cool for school.”

This type of content is unique however, as the data counters a wider trend of kittens downloading fewer apps overall.
