Grown-Up Cat Still Likes to Go on the Internet
Last summer, The Fluffington Post profiled Pema, a 9-week-old kitten who enjoyed getting on the Internet nearly every day.
Now she’s all grown up, but her love of the Internet hasn’t faded a bit.
“Pema loves the Internet because it’s nice and warm,” says Karen Foster, a source close to the situation. “She’s a little bigger now, so we were worried she’d outgrow the Internet. But she manages to squeeze online even now.”

Canine Coders Pull All-Nighter to Hack New App
In the fast-paced world of tech startups, you’ve got to be lean, fast and willing to write code for 24-hours straight.
That’s what the pups over at BarkMe did Thursday night. The dog-owned mobile development company, based in New York City, held an internal hack-a-thon to generate prototypes for products they hope will disrupt the mobile marketplace in 2013.
“I think they really hit on something last night,” says Jamie Jenson, the startup’s PR rep. “It’s tentatively called ScentKeeper, and it’s a location-based social network for dogs, where users mark the spot they’ve peed on a map, and others can discover pee spots nearby. It really has the potential to save pups a lot of time sniffing out their friends’ pee. ”
The app piggybacks on the infrastructure of Google Maps and popular checkin service Foursquare to deliver location results to dogs who share a social link. BarkMe hopes to release a beta version for iOS devices this spring.

Pup Mistaken for Wanted Bunny in Wrongful Arrest
Police in Tuscon, AZ have released a puppy named Linkie after they mistakenly arrested him during a state-wide bunny hunt. The actual suspect, a rabbit named Flopsy-Poo, has been on the run from authorities for three days after an alleged celery heist at a local Safeway supermarket.
“We regret the error,” said Tuscon police chief Harold Aimes at a press conference Monday. “Linkie just has such poofy white hair, we had no idea he wasn’t a bunny until we brought him back to the station for questioning.”
To the credit of the authorities, the resemblance is uncanny.
“Linkie often gets mistaken for a small white rabbit at the park when running freely through the grass,” says Ryan Maza, a close friend of the dog. “Further, Linkie bounces and leaps when he runs.”

Cat’s Cabin Getaway Interrupted
When Jack rented a private cabin in the living room for the weekend, he planned on a quiet getaway.
“I know he wanted to take some naps, maybe do a little fishing,” says Martha Honer, a friend. “He just wanted to unwind after a tough week, you know?”
Unfortunately for Jack, his plans didn’t quite pan out. A mere four hours into his vacation, there was a knock on the cabin door.
“It was Jesmond, his annoying neighbor from back home,” says Honer. “He had rented the cabin right next door, and proceeded to sunbathe nude right out in front. Not sure if it’s a coincidence, or if Jesmond was just trying to get in Jack’s face. Either way, his weekend getaway was ruined.”
