Kitten Piano Virtuoso to Play Carnegie Hall

In August, Gwendolyn the kitten will make history by becoming the first cat ever to play legendary Carnegie Hall in New York City.

The kitty piano virtuoso has been wowing audiences around the country since playing to a standing ovation on the Ellen TV show a few months ago.

“She’s just a stunning talent,” said Jaclyn Crowe, editor-in-chief of Ivory Cats magazine, the only magazine dedicated to piano playing cats. “In my 13 years editing this magazine, I have only come across one other cat with her skill: Keyboard Cat.”

We all know how that one turned out.

Feline Admiral Quashes Mutiny

Sources aboard the HMS Tungsten tell The Fluffington Post that Admiral Jens, the first feline admiral of the British navy, has suppressed a mutiny aboard his flagship.

“Some of the sailors weren’t keen on taking orders from a cat,” says one source, who asked to be quoted anonymously for his own safety. “Admiral Jens made some unpopular decisions, and a few guys started talking about usurping his command. But the Admiral wouldn’t stand for it. He made an example of them pretty quickly. They’re all locked up in the brig now.”

The tactic worked. A corroborating source says that murmurs of mutiny have subsided completely, and everyone is back to work. Admiral Jens could not be reached for comment, but many consider this a victory for feline sailors everywhere.

Kitty Farmer Expands Operation

A cat farmer named Sunny welcomed two additions to her farm this afternoon: laying hens Mabel and Lillian. The girls will provide Sunny with somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen eggs per week.

“I think this is going to be a great addition to the farm,” said Josie Wilcox, who helps Sunny tend her crops. “We also added kale and chard to the beds this year, so things are really expanding.”

According to Wilcox, the eggs will just be for Sunny and the other farmhands, but if things go well they could grow the operation next year and start offering fresh eggs at their farmer’s market stand.
