EXCLUSIVE: Cat Reveals Secret Behind Fluffy Coat

Mendel is no stranger to the cat walk. His fluffy fur coat has been on fashion runways from New York to Milan, and for years its thickness and sheen have been a trade secret.

But no longer.

In an exclusive interview with The Fluffington Post, Mendel’s personal assistant revealed just how he achieves such a luxurious mane.

“His sister Sweet Pea runs him through the spin cycle about once a week,” says Chester Logan, who has worked with the fashionable cat for a little more than six months. “It’s the gentle cycle of course. After a tumble in the dryer, he comes out looking pretty lush.”

Area Cat ‘Blown Away’ by New Destiny’s Child Song

For the first time in eight years, R&B super group Destiny’s Child has released a new recording titled “Nuclear.” It’s part of a 14-track compilation album due out January 29th, and German cat Baby could not be more excited.

“She’s listened to the track online about 70 times already,” says Jamie Beeks, a source close to the situation. “Baby’s been a fan for a long time, and she’s just blown away by this new song. She gets this silly grin on her face whenever Beyoncé starts singing.”

Therapy Cat Rests After a Long Day of Work

Oscar, a certified therapy cat, does hospice care and helps patients deal with extremely difficult circumstances. After a long day on the job, there’s nothing Oscar enjoys more than taking a load off, kicking back and curling up in bed with his favorite pillows for some R&R.

“Don’t get me wrong, Oscar loves his job,” said Susan Wilkins, a source close to the situation, “but it can also be very draining. And I mean, let’s be honest here: he’s a cat – sleeping is pretty much what they do.”

Oscar, who was adopted as a rescue and has battled numerous hardships in his life, is a real-life certified hospice therapy pet. This fluffy little hero’s rags to riches story, as well as that of his late friend, Nubiana, is chronicled in the book Nubiana: A True Story About a Very Special Kitty. 50% of the profits from sales of the book go to fund animal rescue groups, and over $700 has been donated since the book was released last summer.
