Cat Remodels Box, Adds Front Porch

The spare bedroom above the garage was once considered an undesirable place to live. But that’s starting to change, thanks to some enterprising real estate entrepreneurs who have been snapping up properties in the room and rehabbing them.

The latest improvement to the area comes from cat real estate mogul Snuffy, who purchased a rundown box by the closet and had it completely gutted.

The most noticeable change Snuffy made was the addition of a front porch.

“What this neighborhood has really lacked is curb appeal,” said Tony Barrett, a real estate agent. “What Snuffy has done to the box has really transformed this little corner of the bedroom. I could absolutely see this being an area young professionals will want to live in now.”

The box is back on the market – for twice what the cat paid – and there has reportedly been interest from both the family dog and a couple of bunnies.

Cat Loses Job as Valet Parking Attendant

Mustard the cat, seen above just before he was fired, was let go from Vino’s Ristorante where he had been working as a valet parking attendant for the past two months. 

According to co-workers, Mustard was a great cat, but wasn’t the best worker.

“He’d show up to work late, get customer’s cars all furry, nap on the job and he’d never wear his tuxedo,” said Megan Patel, a server at the restaurant.

It was that last point that did Mustard in, said another coworker, Michael Grant. 

“I saw Mustard getting chewed out by his manager for not wearing his tux a few minutes before they fired him,” said Grant. “I’m sure that was it.”

Cat Gets 0% Financing on Box

When Horace the cat went to the box dealership yesterday, he had no intention of buying anything. He was simply browsing, maybe taking one for a test sit.

But then a shrewd salesman made the cat an offer he couldn’t refuse: 0% financing and an extremely low down payment on a brand new, 2014 box.

“I knew once I said those magic words – zero percent – I had him,” said Taran McCall, the salesman. 

McCall said he counted on the well-known fact that cats are generally very wealthy, and often have plenty of disposable income. 

“Even though this was a premium box with a hefty price tag,” explained McCall,“ 0% is like free money. Cats can’t resist it.”

Kitten Is Pretty Sure He Was Adopted

Tofu the cat is starting to think that maybe he was adopted. He didn’t think about it much for the first couple months of his life, but recently, he’s begun to notice a few things that indicate he may not be living with his birth family.

“Well, the main thing is there are no other cats around,” said Preston Thayer, a friend. “He lives with two humans and a Pekinese named Tuna. If he wasn’t adopted, where are the other felines?”

Tofu plans to confront his family about the situation later this week.
