Kitten Dreams of Being Top Programmer

Kitten Dreams of Being Top Programmer

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

At the tender age of two, Mittens already knows what she wants to be when she grows up: a software engineer. The coding prodigy has already created several high-quality works, including an app for rating brands of cat chow and a casual mobile game about stalking birds. 

“She seems happiest at her laptop, keys clattering under her paws,” according to her mentor, Robin Carlisle. “That’s the kind of dedication you look for in a star programmer.” 

Mittens is already hard at work on a new project. Code-named Red Dot, it’s a hunting simulation that entertains while honing predator skills. She’s considering making a series of educational games for today’s tech-savvy young kittens.
