ROSEMONT, IL - An annual gathering of "people" who have a fur fetish, including many who were wearing furry outfits and animal costumes, got a little hairy when it was discovered a huge amount of powdered catnip had been planted in a stairwell at the building where the convention was being held. Many of the attendees started showing signs of excessive playfulness and police were called in to calm things down.
"Foxie Roxie," an attendee, was upset the incident disrupted the festivities. "Who would do something like this? I mean, who among us doesn't like to get a little hit of catnip now and then to get us in the mood but, come on man, this was enough to jump start an orgy! Somebody did this on purpose. Why can't people who like to socialize in furry costumes be allowed to do so in peace?"
Two cougars, Felix the Cat, and a fat Hello Kitty had to be taken to a local veterinary clinic for catnip inhalation but are expected to recover. About twenty other party animals were taken outside the Hyatt hotel and were able to settle down after being removed from the catnip source for about thirty minutes.
Some of the furry felines were overexposed to the catnip because the attendees were all dancing to "Happy," by Pharrell Williams, and that kind of happy masked what was really going on which caused a delay in the police being notified.
Once numerous attendees started rolling on the floor, flipping, rubbing against other furry people's legs, then zoning out, management knew something was up. The police have no suspects at this time but have asked Scooby-Doo for help on the case.
