Promising New CatMobile Gets 80 Miles Per Gallon

Promising New CatMobile Gets 80 Miles Per Gallon

Ford Motor Company unveiled what it’s calling “a revolution in catsportation.”

The 2013 Ford CatMobile promises to achieve 80 MPG (highway) – far and away, the best gas mileage seen in a two-door sedan. The secret sauce is a gas/cat hybrid engine. While cruising normally, the car is powered by the cat that drives it. During uphill climbs, the fuel intake kicks in, giving the vehicle the extra power it needs.

The car is merely a prototype, and Ford admits there are still some kinks to work out (notably, the cardboard chassis does not meet DoT safety guidelines). However, a company spokesperson tells The Fluffington Post that, barring any manufacturing setbacks, it will hit the market in late 2012.

Chinchilla Strains Friendships With Loud Chewing

An adorable white chinchilla will need more than just good looks to maintain friendships. It also comes down to manners.

Numerous acquaintances and co-workers have complained that his constant chewing noises drive them up the wall.

“If he’d just keep his mouth closed while chewing, it wouldn’t be so bad,” one office mate tells The Fluffington Post, under condition of anonymity.

Guard Kitten Will Not Let You Down

Guard Kitten Will Not Let You Down

According to research from the National Security Animals Association, the employment rate for guard kittens is outpacing that of the more traditional guard dog for the first time in history.  "It has now been more than a decade since the guard kitten became an officially licensed occupation for cats and we’re finally starting to see folks put their trust is feline watch animals,“ said NSAA president Rufus Astor in a press release.

Recent studies indicate that guard kittens are actually more effective at deterring crime than their canine counterparts.  Some researchers, however, think that could be simply due to the novelty of it – criminals are just confused when they see a cat growling at them in the hallway.
