“Having a feline established on our team is beneficial to the student newspaper as he has sharp thinking skills.” said Blankenship. “We are already being distracted though, as he jumps up on our laptops in the middle of our pitch meetings and scratches his nails on the chalkboard, he even claws up the coaches we have in the office regularly!”

“He hisses at people during the interviews and that turns people away from accepting job positions sometimes,” Blankenship said. “Don’t tell him I told you this because he will be mad, he already knocked down a glass picture frame in the office on my desk.”

“. Lately he’s been reporting on a conflict with, well unfortunately, my Silkie chickens which decided to escape from my farm and swarm the University. He’s our inside job cat, and he’s spying for us. We’re waiting to find out more on his next mission to get statements from the animals,” said Blankenship.

“In the end, I just hope the chickens go back to Elissa’s farm and the crows stop harassing the baby rabbits every year, that way everyone is at peace with one another. Peace is what this world needs. If Mr. Momo could work out a deal with the rabbits to capture the chickens and bring them home, that would be good,” UW Tacoma Student Kat Everdeen said.
