Lottery-Winning Cat Spends Fortune on Giant Stuffed Bear
Lottery-Winning Cat Spends Fortune on Giant Stuffed Bear
When Mortimer, a Scottish Fold kitty, struck it rich by matching the first five numbers on his Powerball ticket last August, he promised friends he would spend wisely, save for the future, and generally be responsible.
And for awhile, he did that. He splurged one in awhile on caviar or organic catnip, but he put most of the money in a 401k, paid off his student loans, and continued to work his day job.
Then this past week, roommates came home and found Mortimer perched atop a giant stuffed bear.
“I walk in and there’s Morty siting on this giant… thing… bear,” said Tom Spiner, who has lived with the cat for three years, “and I’m like, ‘Oh jeez, I guess responsibility is out the window.’”
According to Spiner, Mortimer cashed out his 401k – for which he’ll pay a penalty – and dropped $45,000 on the bear. Why so much? It’s made completely of cashmere.
Spiner worries that the reckless cat may be on the road to the poor house if he doesn’t get his spending back under control.

Hedgehog’s Doctor Advises Healthier Diet
Hedgehog’s Doctor Advises Healthier Diet
Though his doctor has advised against it, Turbo the hedgehog begins each day with a breakfast of coffee and donuts. The hedgie, who works as an energy trader in Houston, TX, claims that he needs the boost of caffeine and sugar to get going so early.
But his doctor is worried.
“All that sugar and fat isn’t good for him,” said Dr. Lucy Elms. “I could even get on board with the morning coffee and donut, but have you seen what he eats for lunch and dinner? Fast food, pizza, beer. It’s no good.”
According to Elms, Turbo is going to eat himself into an early grave if he doesn’t watch it.
“The bad food, the poor sleeping habits, the high stress job – it’s a recipe for disaster,” she said.

Dog Celebrates Birthday With Friends
Dog Celebrates Birthday With Friends
Sully the dog recently turned 14, and he celebrated the birthday at a lavish party with friends.
“There were balloons and streamers and party hats and cake,” said Juan Ellis, who helped organize the shindig. “Who cares if his best friends are stuffed animals? Everyone still had a blast.”
According to Ellis, the party went off without a hitch. They started out with an egg relay, then a game of pass the parcel, ate cake and opened presents, and finished by dancing to some of Sully’s favorite tunes (mostly 80s dance music).
