Cat’s Rapid Transit System Could Reduce Dependency on Fossil Fuels

Cat’s Rapid Transit System Could Reduce Dependency on Fossil Fuels

Dr. Boots, a researcher and cat at MIT, has unveiled what energy industry experts are calling a “game changer.”

“Imagine a transit system completely independent of gasoline,” says Ashley Moore, a writer who covers energy matters for The Washington Post. “Well, yes, I suppose Tesla is doing that too. But, Dr. Boots’ system is powered by dogs.”

Hop on a dog at any Canine Docking Station and ride it to your destination. Drop the dog off at the receiving end and go about your business. No gas, no parking, no hassle.

“I suppose only cats and other small animals would really be able to take advantage of a system like this,” admits Moore. “And you’ll need an awful lot of dog food to power it, which ultimately requires fossil fuels to produce. But – yeah, I guess it’s not really that great after all."

Kitten’s Plan to Raid Fridge Is Flawed

Kitten’s Plan to Raid Fridge Is Flawed

Jack, a kitten from Queens, NY, was thwarted in his attempt to raid the refrigerator at his apartment yesterday afternoon.

“He had his eye on my leftover calamari from dinner the previous night,” said roommate Claire Morin. “But his plan was flawed from the start.”

Apparently, Jack thought he could hide on the fridge door in order to gain unfettered access to the fried squid. It worked – to a point.

“He actually got alone with the calamari,” said Morin, “but he then he was stuck in the fridge with no way to reheat it.”

Cat Apartment Building Now Has Wait List

Cat Apartment Building Now Has Wait List

Kitty Place, the new low-rise apartment building catering specifically to feline sensibilities that opened last month in the downtown arts district, already has a wait list. 

According to the developer, the 65 unit building began leasing late last year and was nearly to capacity even before it opened. The last apartment went under contract over the weekend and a wait list has begun to fill up.

“There’s a huge demand for affordable, cat-sized housing in downtown,” said project manager Muriel Casbo. “Kitty Place has all the amenities a cat could want: 24-hour concierge, communal napping rooms, scratchable walls, a sun spot in every apartment.”

A planned high-rise condominium project, Feline Towers, lost funding during the housing market collapse of 2008, but the success of Kitty Place may put it back on track.

Cat Caught Breaking Into White House

Cat Caught Breaking Into White House

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to government sources, Coco the cat is currently being questioned in relation to an attempted break in early this morning. The target? None other than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“We caught her on camera digging under the fence, and then, when that didn’t work, just hopping over it,” said special agent Chris Tyler. “She’s been a very bad kitty.”

Though rare, animal altercations with the President have become an increasingly prevalent issue. Readers may recall an incident earlier this year when a grizzly bear interrupted a state dinner and refused to leave.

“We don’t believe this would have been as severe,” said Tyler. “That’s besides the point, though. We treat all threats equally.”

As a first-time offender, Coco could face a lesser sentence, even more so if she agrees to a plea.

“We’re taking it one step at a time,” said Tyler. “I’ll tell you one thing – she’s not helping her case by not talking.”

President Obama was reported to be in the White House at the time of the break in, with his dogs, Bo and Sunny.
