Cat Reaches Summit of Couch

Intrepid explorer cat Spartacus has reached the summit of the couch.

For the past two weeks, the entire nation has watched with baited breath as Spartacus attempted to scale the side of the living room couch, live on NatGeo TV.

He finished his ascent at 8:46am local time this morning.

“It was touch and go there for awhile,” said NatGeo producer, Schuyler Bentley. “When the vacuum came on in the other room, I thought Spartacus might give up.”

But the cat persevered and is now resting with his sherpa on the top of left cushion. He will begin his descent later today.

Dog Training for Next NASA Mission

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Move over Laika: one ambitious chihuahua is currently engaged in a rigorous training program in hopes of being considered for NASA’s next space mission. Pico, the dog in question, has been putting in hours a day on physical conditioning, including several stints in zero-gravity simulators. 

Trainer Allen Divers said Pico has the right stuff.

“He’s strong, he’s tough, and he’s smart,” Divers said. “By the time they’re ready to have astronauts join the Curiosity Rover on Mars, I think there’s a good chance that Pico’s going to be in that crew.”

Bunny’s Prank Delights Co-Workers

Harold and Charlie were just two pals having a good time.

“Charlie would wrap Harold’s desk in aluminum foil, Harold would hide Charlie’s stapler,” says Mathew Webb, a colleague. “It was all fun and games.”

That is until “The Cup Prank,” a bit of tomfoolery that will live in infamy, according to their friends and co-workers.

“Harold put some kale at the bottom of a narrow cup and left it on Charlie’s desk. And Charlie loves kale,” Webb explains. “He loves it a little too much, considering it’s kale. Anyway, Charlie couldn’t resist, so he dives in. Next thing you know, his face is stuck, and everyone’s cracking up. Except Charlie, of course. It took him 20 minutes to get that thing off, on account of not having hands or fingers.”
