REPORT: Cat Is Awful at Taking Selfies

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Everyone’s taking selfies these days, so it was only a matter of time before Sheila got in on the action. The area cat recently purchased her first smartphone, and has reportedly been snapping away ever since.

“She really has no idea what she’s doing,” says Debra Russell, the cat’s owner. “I took a look at her Instagram the other day, and it’s just all terrible selfies.”

Photography experts tell The Fluffington Post that Sheila may be at a natural disadvantage.

“Cats can’t raise their arms very well,” says Frank Koenig of Sears Portrait Studio in Athens, GA. “The resulting low angle can be detrimental to the photo. She might also just be really bad at photography.”

The cat has apparently shown no signs of slowing down. 

“She’ll grow out of it – hopefully,” says Russell. “I honestly don’t know how many more close-up shots of whiskers I can look at.”

Cat Plans to Hibernate in Shopping Bag

Cat Plans to Hibernate in Shopping Bag

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

As the first cold snap of the seasons reached residents of the Northeastern United States last week, one Baltimore-area cat has begun preparations to hibernate. Jamie, a three year old kitty from the Oldtown neighborhood, has vowed that he will not deal with another snowy season, and will stay inside his paper bag cave until the spring thaw.

“I told him cats aren’t meant to hibernate, but he just won’t listen,” said close confidante Cristy Chebert. “I know he has the sleeping part down pat, but I think he’s going to want to spend time in other places this winter: cardboard boxes, bowls, maybe even dresser drawers. The bag is really limiting.”

Cat Artist Debuts New Installation

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Art fans in the Los Angeles area have something new to check out this weekend – the acclaimed artist Ron the cat has just unveiled his latest collection of works. Scheduled for display until late March, the installation showcases just some of the pop art that Ron has become renowned for.

“Most people think pop art is a 60’s thing,” says modern art critic Norman Freese. “Warhol and Lichtenstein certainly led the way back then, but Ron is blazing the trail for a whole new generation of artists. It’s really exciting.”

Among the works is “Cat Diptych,” a silkscreen painting of none other than Ron himself. The piece is expected to fetch a high sum at auction.

“Ron’s works are highly valued in the contemporary art market,” says Freese. “These pieces will likely net six figures each – though I doubt they’ll command the price ‘Tuna Fish Cans’ did. That thing made a killing.”
