Kitten Brothers Accepted to Startup Incubator

Russian kitten brothers Alexei and Vitaly have been accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator startup accelerator program. The two will be working on a mobile app that allows cats to catalog and rate the best cat hangouts: trees with flocks of birds, dumpsters with old fish, discarded balls of yarn, etc.

“Think of it as Yelp for cats,” said Peter Deng, the founding CTO of the company. “Alexei and Vitaly are real visionary leaders. They’re going to change the way cats find disgusting things to eat outside.”

The brothers plan to move to the United States next month, and have just signed a lease for basket of laundry in Mountain View.

Cats Claim Flower Pot by Eminent Domain

Two cats have laid claim to the flower pot on the front porch, claiming that the constitutional construct of eminent domain allows them legal right to seize the property.

“No. Definitely not,” said legal scholar Heidi Schiller, when asked if there was any legal merit to the cats’ position. “That’s not how eminent domain works. First of all, when you seize property in this way, you have to pay fair market value. It’s my understanding that the cats are just squatting and no transaction has taken place.

"Second, the land then has to be put to public use. I’ve seen no plans from these cats that indicate they intend to use the flower pot for anything other than napping. I fail to see how that benefits the public.

"Finally, and most importantly, eminent domain only applies to the government. So, no, this is totally illegal.”

It’s expected that the cats will be forced to vacate the flower pot by tomorrow, if they haven’t gotten bored and left on their own by then.
