Doctors Attempt Risky ‘Siamese Cat’ Separation

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

In a medical first, veterinarians will attempt to separate Louie and Peanut, a pair of cats that have become impossibly attached to one another.

“They’re what the medical community would term ‘Siamese cats,’” says Dr. Rand Carlson. “Except they’re not Siamese cats, as far as we can tell, they’re just regular cats – but they’re really, really stuck together.”

The procedure will involve a team of doctors equipped with the latest X-ray and laparoscopic technologies, as well as “several” cat treats.

“There will be a good deal of coaxing, and maybe some prying. There’s really no telling how long it will take,” says Carlson. “We’ll try to work quickly – but if they start scratching or hissing, we’re going to have to slow things down.”

At press time, the operation had been called off due to both cats “just not having it.”

Kitten-Con Is the Comic-Con of Cuteness

Young felines from around the world descended on Cleveland, TX this week for Kitten-Con, the annual celebration of geek culture, but with adorable kittens.

The cosplayers were out in force, many kittens dressing up like their favorite heroes from Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Doctor Who.

“Some of these cosplayers really go all-out,” says Mark Hansen, who covers the geeky convention every year for Entertainment Weekly.“The attention to detail is flawless.”

The conference wraps up today with panels, product demos and a keynote from actor Wil Wheaton.

These kitties are up for adoption! Photographer Wendy Robbins dressed 17 kittens up in the hope of finding them good homes! Four have already been adopted. Thanks for the adorableness, Wendy!

FridgeCat Will Sit On Your Fridge, Do Little Else

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Fans of cutting-edge kitchen gadgetry will love the latest offering from KitchCo – particularly if they like cats.

FridgeCat™ has all the cuteness of a standard cat in a no-maintenance, easy-to-store item that’s guaranteed to take up at least some space.

“People are tired of the same old kitchen products,” says KitchCo spokesperson Len Woodson. “Our customers tell us they want something fresh, exciting, and technically nonfunctional. We listened.”

Whether sitting on the right side of the fridge or on the left, FridgeCat™ is sure to delight homeowners – as long as they don’t need anything from the freezer.

“Look, this isn’t going to be another SinkFerret™,” says Woodson. “We learned from that whole debacle. We’re smarter now – and we have a bit more R&D money.”

FridgeCat™ is available for pre-order next week, with rollout/recall expected in late July.
