Kitty’s Travel Agency Starts to Take Off
Kitty’s Travel Agency Starts to Take Off
Friends laughed when Lucy the cat said she wanted to start a travel agency. “That’s a terrible industry to get into,” they said. “No one travels anymore. No one can afford it.”
But six-months since opening the business out of her tiny home office, it looks like Lucy might be having the last laugh.
“She’s doing fantastic,” said nosy neighbor Tom Pendleton. “I see cars parked outside all the time, and she’s just begun renovations on her home to expand the office and hire another couple of staffers.”
Turns out Lucy cleverly targeted the eco-tourism niche and has an uncanny ability to get her clients the very best deals. As a result, her business is taking off big time.

Puppy Starts Homemade Pesto Business
Puppy Starts Homemade Pesto Business
Pesto is great. You can put it on pasta, you can put it on sandwiches, you can just dip Italian bread in it.
A love of pesto is what’d driving Humphrey the mastiff puppy to put all his savings into a new business venture: Presto Pesto.
“Humphrey has planted a large basil garden in the backyard,” said the dog’s business partner Tony Maggliotti. “He plans to use his own, homegrown basil and to locally source parmesan cheese. But the secret ingredient? He’ll be using pistachios instead of pine nuts. It’s delicious.”
Humphrey will ship his first batch of Presto Pesto in June.

Cat to Star in Cymbalta Commercial
Cat to Star in Cymbalta Commercial

Frankie the cat rarely goes outside. He also sleeps up to 16 hours a day. Naturally, he was the perfect subject for Cymbalta’s latest television ad.
“We wanted to show people the real face of depression,” says Dustin Gregory, spokesperson for Eli Lilly & Co, the drugmaker behind the antidepressant. “Frankie embodied that morose, melancholy outlook better than any of the humans we’d considered. He was made for this role.”
For his audition, Frankie had to stare blankly out a window and appear “despondent” and “listless.”
“He nailed it,” says Gregory. “You could tell he’d been feeling this way for a long time. Or maybe it was just him being a cat. To be honest, we really don’t know.”
