Kitten Can Only Afford Tiny NYC Studio

When Toffee the cat moved to New York City she had dreams of landing a job at a clothing label, eventually launching her own line of eco-friendly and fashion forward collars, and living the good life. But unfortunately, New York real estate prices have been a huge reality check for the kitty.

“She wanted to live close to the garment district, so she could be right where the action is,” said Toffee’s rental agent, Tony Ryu. But because Toffee was unable to land her dream job right away – she currently busses tables at a wine bar in Chelsea – she’s only been able to afford a very small studio way uptown in Harlem.

Yet even now, living so far from the action, the cat wouldn’t change a thing.

“Oh she’s not exactly living her dream,” said former roommate June November, “but she’s determined to make it. On the plus side, her apartment has a rat problem, which is an unexpected perk.”

Samsonite Promises ‘Room for Cats’ in Latest Latest Luggage Line

Also, the suitcases come standard with those rolly wheels that change direction, because what is this, the Middle Ages?”

The new suitcases are expected to hit stores in early November, just in time for the holiday travel rush.

Expert: The Kitten Uprising Will Happen Soon

According to feline sociologist Alistair Waters at the University of Waterloo in Ontario Canada, a kitten uprising is imminent.

Waters has been assembling a meta-study consisting of numerous research papers by other acclaimed feline experts, including the seminal work “How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you” by The Oatmeal. His conclusion is that a full-fledged cat rebellion is likely to occur anytime in the next five years, and it won’t be pretty.

“There will be plenty of split milk,” wrote Waters on his blog. “If you’re smart, now is the time to get a dog, maybe two.”

Others are less convinced. Mike Pezza, a felinologistologist (that’s the study of people who study cats) from Fordham University believes that Waters is blowing things way out of proportion.

“The kitty apocalypse doomsayers have been spouting this nonsense for the past sixty years,” said Pezza. “It’s always 5 years away, but it never comes.”
