BREAKING: Cat Royal Family Expecting Kittens

March 28, 2016 · Leave a Comment

The royal cat family of the United Kingdom announced on Facebook that they are expecting a litter of kittens in early May. The Internet, as expected, is suffering a collective freakout at the news.

#RoyalKittens has been a worldwide trending topic on both Twitter and Facebook for the past 6 hours, and Google News shows that over 85,000 blog posts and articles about the news have already. On Tumblr, the announcement picture (above) has over 900,000 notes and rising.

“We’re ecstatic,” said Georgina Bancroft, royal feline editor at the UK’s Daily Telegraph. “I think the royal litter is going to be at least as big as the royal wedding was two years ago. We’ve scrapped our entire planned April editorial calendar and devoting all of our resources to this.”

Authorities are already planning for the large crowds they expect will begin forming at the end of the month at St. Mary’s Veterinary Hospital in London, where the kittens will be born.

Trailblazing Local Dog Does ‘Cat Things’

March 23, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Quigley the dog follows the beat of his own drum. The area pup is known to do a number of things that are historically associated with cats.

“He sleeps a lot during the day, he sits in boxes, and he freaks out whenever I use the can opener,” said roommate Clem Watkins.

Dr. Belinda Cox, an animal psychologist at Emory University said that though Quigley’s behavior is unusual, it’s not a cause for concern.

“I mean, bugs pretending to be plants, moths pretending to be birds, cuttlefish taking on the colors of their surroundings. Most imitation in the animal kingdom is for disguise and protection,” she said. “I’m not sure what the purpose of Quigley’s mimicry is, but it’s nothing to be worried about. I mean unless he starts to purr.”

Watkins, for one, thinks the dog is a pioneer.

“He has the courage of his convictions,” he told The Fluffington Post. “Quigley follows his own path and doesn’t let anyone tell him otherwise. I admire that.”

New Office IT Cat Makes Co-Workers “Uneasy”

March 21, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Employees at the office of San Francisco, CA mobile app startup Flizzl are unhappy about their new office IT cat, Albert. According to sources close to the situation, employees have filed at least two complaints with HR about the cat’s attitude.

“He’s always judging you,” said software engineer Miriam Cole. “I’m a programmer. I’m pretty good with computers, so it’s not like I’m asking him stupid questions. But no matter what, he always acts like whatever is wrong is my fault.”

The cat has remained aloof despite attempts by coworkers to connect.

“He always eats lunch alone,” said marketing intern Cameron Duthier. “And it’s always the same thing: sardines. Just sardines. It’s weird, man. I’ve tried to sit with him, but he just gives you that look of his. Makes me kinda uneasy.”

Duthier says he’s also tried to invite Albert out after work, but the cat doesn’t want to socialize outside the office.

“I get it, he’s always fixing stupid computer problems at work all day, that’s enough to drive anyone nuts,” said Duthier. “But he’s got to relax once in awhile.”
