Cat Unimpressed by Mars Rover Landing
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
When the NASA rover Curiosity touched down on the surface of Mars early Monday morning, it was hailed as an unprecedented feat of science and human achievement. The world was captivated as the spacecraft made its final descent, reaching the red planet after a 352 million mile journey. It seemed everyone was in a state of awe.
Everyone, that is, except Ivy. According to sources, the Romanian cat was simply unmoved.
“She didn’t see what the big deal was at all,” says Bogdan Dumitrescu, a friend. “I was like, ‘That thing just landed on Mars! Isn’t this exciting?’ She wasn’t having any of it.”
After halfheartedly gazing at the computer screen, Ivy is reported to have licked her paw and yawned before promptly going to sleep.
“I thought she’d be really interested,” says Dumitrescu. “I guess that’s what I get for waking her up, though.”

Chihuahua Unable to Find Work as Superhero
Though the economy has been improving incrementally, the superhero job market is still depressed, according to a number of surveys. But Oscar the chihuahua doesn’t need a poll to tell him it’s rough out there. He’s applied to over 60 “Spider-Man Wanted” ads on Craigslist.
“He’s had two interviews, but no follow-ups,” says Grace Statler, a source close to the situation. “Those positions are really competitive. Who doesn’t want to be Spider-Man?”
