It was 2 AM, and the phone rang, jolting me out of my dreams. With a voice as smooth as silk and as steady as a heartbeat, I introduced myself. “Cat. Dewie the Cat.” On the other end of the line, Detective Hull, sounding as weary as ever, said, “Dewie, we need you.” That’s all it took. I was up, pulling on my flea collar, headed to the scene of a crime that would rattle our small community to its core. The Victim: Edgar, the Beloved Maine Coon Cat Edgar wasn’t just any cat. He was a fixture in our town. A nine-year-old Maine Coon with a personality as big…

ChimpMingle.com I'm looking for a female in heat. Are you out there?
Hi ladies. My name is Mr. Gonhorrhea. Well, that’s not my real name. ChimpMingle told me to make up a catchy alias for my dating profile that describes something interesting about myself, so I went with that. I’m new to this whole online dating thing. I much prefer picking out a female in heat and climbing onto her backside. But, my therapist told me if I ever wanted to make it outside of the rainforest and make something out of myself, I’d have to refine my approach to dealing with chimps. That’s why I’m here on ChimpMingle.com. We spent our days taunting the gorillas and orangutans next door, digging out…

Burmese Python — It’s What’s for Dinner! Large Asian serpents join feral hogs, swamp rats and maggots on restaurant menus
Daisy slithered out the back door last night. Just like her uncle Bert did during the summer of ’79. If it weren’t for the fact that she’s an adorable eighteen-foot-long Burmese python weighing nearly 300 pounds, none of Daisy’s neighbors probably would have cared. But when she quickly gobbled up all the neighborhood foxes, limpkins, and rabbits, things quickly took a turn for the worse. Overnight, raccoon sightings were down by 99.3%, opossums by 98.9%, and white-tailed deer by 94.1%.[1] She’s even been known to take down animals as large as alligators, deer, and powerboats with outboard Evinrudes. More than 6,300 snakes have been captured so far, and if they…

You Can’t Teach an Old Flea New Tricks Fleas and the casting couch... the birth of the entertainment industry

While there are over 2500 species of fleas, Louis Bertolotto found only the females of the Pulex Irritans species worthy of a place in his line-up: “…I have found the males to be utterly worthless, excessively mulish and altogether disinclined to work.”…
