Area Cats Turns Selfies Into Snapchat Masterpieces

When Oskar and Maya first discovered Snapchat, it was merely a distraction – a silly app for selfies and killing time between naps.

“That’s when they discovered the power of the drawing tools,” says Kristin Montgomery, a friend of the feline roommates. “I started getting snaps from them that were really creative. I had no idea they were such talented artists.”

Since then, the duo has accrued hundreds of followers on their shared account, Cakes1toDough1.

“I have no idea how they create such elaborate artwork with their tiny kitty paws,” says Kevin Warby, a fan and Snapchat follower. “But I love seeing their snap stories. They even replied to me once! It was amazing.”

The cats themselves could not be reached for comment on their newfound Internet fame. And whether or not it will lead to television or a book deal remains to be seen.

“There are a lot of stars who blow up on Snapchat overnight,” says Mindy Black, who covers social media trends for Tech Insider. “But turning that into a career that can pay the bills is a challenge. There’s no direct way to monetize Snapchat right now, even for the top snappers.”

Local Cat Bitten by Spider, Becomes Super Hero

A local kitten, whose identity is unknown at this time, was reportedly bitten by a spider yesterday and is now exhibiting “super hero-like behaviors.”

Sources close to the situation say the cat has been literally climbing walls and swinging from building to building.

“He’s been spotted all over the city,” said police commissioner Sara Burellis. “We’ve had calls about his hanging from the rafters at a Whole Foods, jumping from car to car on 11th Street, and scaling the Chase Bank Building.”

Know one knows exactly how the kitty gained his powers, but scientists who study super heroism have a theory.

“It was 99% a spider bite,” said Lamont Quimby, a professor of superology at the University of Iowa. “There’s a very small chance it might have been some sort of bat, but the evidence really points to spider.”

Local Cat Likes to Take Things Slow

Emre, a cat who lives in the Beyoğlu district in Istanbul, Turkey, is well known by locals. He can generally be found holding court on Fridays and Saturdays in front of Okruk’s, a cafe on İstiklal Avenue. 

“Oh everyone knows Emre,” said Sidika Marangoz, who works in a nearby office building. “I always make it a point to stop by Omkruk’s for coffee on Friday mornings to hang out with Emre.”

According to Marangoz, the cat has perfected the art of slow living, taking things as they come.

“He’s very zen,” she said. “I’ve learned so much from him and how to keep city life from stressing me out. He also gives great relationship advice.”
