Cat Is First Thing Man Sees Upon Waking Up from Coma

“I’ll tell you, it was a little disconcerting,” says Thom Aaronson, who woke up from a coma early Monday morning to the sight of his cat Sasha, hovering close to his face.  "It’s nice to know she cares so much, I guess, but I mean, give a guy some room, you know?“

"She never left his side,” according to a nurse close to the situation. “Day and night, she was always staring right at his face.  Once he woke up, though, she sort of lost interest and went to sit in a window.”

Cat Refuses to Sell Vintage Record Collection

Jake the cat is sitting on a pile of vinyl worth an estimated $40,000. But the feline record collector – who owns mint-condition LPs by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan – has no intention of selling.

“They’re his most prized possession,” says Carmen Singer, a source close to the situation. “Jake without his records would be like peanut butter without jelly. It just doesn’t make sense.”

According to sources, Olly the Cat, a junior reporter who works at The Fluffington Post on the duck equality beat, was so distraught that he has locked himself in a conference room at FluffPo headquarters and is building a fort out of newspaper.
