Swedish insurance company Folksam has brought together two of my favorite things: R. Kelly, and skydiving cats. And okay, as one of the comments points out, it’s less “skydiving cats” and more “putting cats in front of a green screen and turning on a fan,” but still, skydiving cats. (via The Daily What)

With so much global attention being focused on the promotion of both healthy bodies and body image acceptance, it’s sometimes nice to see stories about people who have taken up weight loss challenges and followed through. But it’s even nicer when those stories involve animals, because animals are cute and people tend to suck. In this case, two pets from Bradford, West Yorkshire, England were pitted against each other in an adorable weight loss contest, and the big winner was the above cat, Fifi Bottomley.

When she was entered into the contest, Fifi weighed more than 20 pounds. Six months later, she now weighs 16-pounds, which some people might call the purrfect weight. *punches self in balls, coughs up hairball*

Fifi’s owner Monica Bottomley said: “Fifi is so much more active now and it’s clear she’s happier. PDSA’s advice was vital in helping Fifi to lose her extra weight; I really couldn’t have done it without them. My advice to other owners in a similar position is simple – don’t keep putting it off. Get proper advice and stick to it – it’s worth the effort for your pet’s wellbeing. If you love your pet, don’t keep delaying.” (Via The Telegraph and Argus)

Also, if you love your pet, don’t overfeed it and let it get morbidly obese. Maybe try that first before you spend a bunch of money on pet fitness programs. But that’s just me and my whack job theories.

The real issue at hand here is that Fifi’s opponent was Deco, a Labrador retriever. Indeed, that means that a cat has defeated a dog. This is a very troubling blow to my ongoing life thesis work that will ultimately prove that dogs are better than cats. This is a huge counterattack to that theory and now I’m scared that my work may ultimately be in vain. How scared am I? This scared…

This week’s With Spandex guest is Veda Scott, a talented young wrestler who you may’ve seen interviewing stars backstage at Ring Of Honor, hyping upcoming events from the CHIKARA offices or competing in the ring everywhere from Beyond Wrestling in the Northeast to Absolute Intense Wrestling in the Midwest. Oh, and she just graduated from law school.

In episode 4 we laugh about concussions, talk about Veda’s announcement as one of the eight women competing in Anarchy Championship Wrestling’s American Joshi Queen Of Queens tournament, throw shade at community college documentary filmmaking classes, discuss our favorite episodes of ‘Forensic Files’, compare and contrast our identical housecats, complain extensively about Kings Dominion turning three great old rides into one terrible super coaster and the value of pro wrestling perfection. It was a great conversation. About 20 minutes of it in the middle is nothing but bar exam study questions.

Go ahead and give it a listen. You love her already.

He asked Domino’s if he could keep the ball, but they said “no”. The best part is either the terrified lady to his left who can’t enjoy what’s happened even after it’s done, or the slow reveal of the guy behind him with his fingers in his ears. (via Yardbarker)
