Lollipop And Sashimi Break Guinness World Records For Fastest 5m On A Scooter By A Dog And Cat (Pair)

An unlikely pair has broken the record for the fastest 5m on a scooter by a dog and cat (pair) with a time of 4.37 seconds, becoming two of the stars of the Guinness World Records 2022 book.

Lollipop And Sashimi Break Guinness World Record For Fastest 5m On A Scooter By A Dog And Cat (Pair)

Sashimi (a 7- year-old Bengal cat) and Lollipop (a 5-year-old Boston Terrier) from Ontario, Canada have been playing together, training together and, most surprisingly, scooting around together ever since they were a puppy and kitten.

According to their owner Melissa Millett, Sashimi won’t train with the other cats, preferring Lollipop’s company, while Lollipop won’t share her equipment with any other animal.

The 40-year-old professional dog trainer from Ontario said: “Lollipop and Sashimi both enjoyed the scooter alone and it had never occurred to me that they would ride it together.”

“She loves working, learning new tricks and mental stimulation”, Melissa described Sashimi.

Sashimi loves hiking and is never afraid to challenge her bigger friends. If you’re lucky, you might catch her playing the piano, pushing a shopping cart or of course, riding a scooter.

Melissa adopted Sashimi when she was 10 months old, while Lollipop joined the family when she was 12 weeks old.

At the time, Melissa had recently lost another dog, Butter, in a car accident: after that painful experience she opened her heart and arms to Lollipop, a well-bred but deaf Boston Terrier puppy.

Melissa knew she would give her a marvellous home and many friends to play with.

According to Melissa, despite the restrictions of this year, Sashimi hasn’t lost her diva attitude: she still enjoys being photographed, hiking and playing with her “fellow” dogs.

Lollipop kept herself busy with new tricks, games and lots of snooze time, enjoying the comfort of her cosy home.

The self-isolation period also allowed Sashimi and Lollipop to spend more time together, further cementing their bond.

The two, with their adoptive brother Jellybean and Melissa, appear in the latest edition of the Guinness World Records book.

Melissa has 8 other dogs, among which are record-breaking star Jellybean and 3 other cats.

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...
