Australian Cat Caught in Compromising Pose
Australian Cat Caught in Compromising Pose
Images have surfaced via MEOW! magazine depicting a famous Australian cat caught in what appears to be a compromising position. Spokespeople for the cat are calling this a “sick stunt to sell copies of a publication and prop up a dying industry,” while editors at the magazine say that the cat’s fame means she lives in public and photos like these are fair game.
Those interested in the full, uncensored photo set should visit the MEOW! website.

Local Cat Makes a Living on Couch Cushion Change
After nearly six months of fruitless job searching, an area cat has taken the plunge into every couch she’s ever sat on. What she discovered is enough coin to pay her rent, cable and grocery bills.
“Most people overlook the value hidden right under their asses,” says economic analyst James Chan, who interviewed the cat on her now-trendsetting lifestyle.

Promising New CatMobile Gets 80 Miles Per Gallon
Promising New CatMobile Gets 80 Miles Per Gallon
Ford Motor Company unveiled what it’s calling “a revolution in catsportation.”
The 2013 Ford CatMobile promises to achieve 80 MPG (highway) – far and away, the best gas mileage seen in a two-door sedan. The secret sauce is a gas/cat hybrid engine. While cruising normally, the car is powered by the cat that drives it. During uphill climbs, the fuel intake kicks in, giving the vehicle the extra power it needs.
The car is merely a prototype, and Ford admits there are still some kinks to work out (notably, the cardboard chassis does not meet DoT safety guidelines). However, a company spokesperson tells The Fluffington Post that, barring any manufacturing setbacks, it will hit the market in late 2012.

Guard Kitten Will Not Let You Down
Guard Kitten Will Not Let You Down
According to research from the National Security Animals Association, the employment rate for guard kittens is outpacing that of the more traditional guard dog for the first time in history. "It has now been more than a decade since the guard kitten became an officially licensed occupation for cats and we’re finally starting to see folks put their trust is feline watch animals,“ said NSAA president Rufus Astor in a press release.
Recent studies indicate that guard kittens are actually more effective at deterring crime than their canine counterparts. Some researchers, however, think that could be simply due to the novelty of it – criminals are just confused when they see a cat growling at them in the hallway.
