REPORT: Static Cling on the Rise Among Cats

Results from the national Survey on Fur-Level Electricity conducted each year by the 3M Corporation indicates that static cling is up year-over-year among felines.  "Most cats carry an electrostatic charge,“ says researcher Anton Nowitzski, who indicated that this year has presented the highest levels of static electricity on record. "We believe a low pressure area dipping into the U.S. from Canada is to blame.”

Cats are advised to be on the lookout for wacky fur and crackling noises when they stretch out on the rug.

Cat Plows Readied for Winter 2012

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Weary of maintenance costs and the threat of another long winter, local contractors are abandoning their dated snowplows in favor of a cheaper, cuter alternative: cats.

“In the long run it just made sense,” says Bill Chapman of Plaistow, NH. “People like cats, and they seem to be good in snow.” By his own estimate, Chapman says at least 18 local cats are currently being rounded up for the job ahead.

“It’s never too early to prepare,” says Chapman. “Sure, they’re a little slower. But another winter with old rusty over here? I think not.”
