Shopping For Home Furnishings

This is a very bad sign. The Animal Uprising™ appears to be getting so sure of its eventual victory over humanity that some of their minions are already shopping for home furnihsings that they will presumably need when they take over the houses from former human occupants. That's right, coyotes are shopping for mattresses.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Jim Haskell says the Select Comfort store he manages in northern Kansas City keeps its front doors open to encourage customers to come in. And that's not going to change just because a coyote wanders in.

The coyote, described as tall and skinny at 40 to 45 pounds, sauntered into the Select Comfort store at the Shops at Boardwalk open-air mall Sunday afternoon.

"We were just kind of shocked," said employee Melissa Bogatch, who was in the store with one other employee and two customers.

The shock quickly faded when she realized the coyote was nervous. It cowered in a corner, then hid under several mattresses, she said.

Police who were called to the store summoned the Missouri Department of Conservation. Two agents subdued and snared the coyote, then carted it away to be released in countryside near Kansas City International Airport.

First it was coyotes in a sub shop, now a mattress store. (What is a coyote's sleep number, anyway?)
