They laughed at Twizzle the cat when she spent her entire holiday vacation studying. “You’re on vacation!” they said. “Stop working and have some fun!” they said. “Chase a bug. Nap in a window. Feel how your claws just slice through the upholstery on the couch like butter.”

Now they’re not laughing.

No one was counting on a big pop quiz the day back from holiday vacation. No one, that is, except Twizzle, who thanks to all that studying is totally ready.

Life-long Star Wars fan Albert the cat just got the call of a lifetime.

”It was a studio exec,” says Carl Lewis, the filmmaking feline’s agent. “They saw his remake on the Internet, and they want him to direct Episode IX.”

Lewis is referring, of course, to the shot-for-shot homage Ablert uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday. Since then, it has accrued more than 16 million views. In it, he painstakingly re-creates every scene from The Force Awakens, with himself in all the roles, including the roly-poly droid BB-8.

”Lucasfilm was so impressed, they’re putting the future of the entire franchise in Albert’s hands,” says Lewis, who could hardly believe the news himself. “Er, paws.”

The final installment of the new trilogy will begin filming in 2019.

It has only been a month since Otis the cat signed a lucrative contract to be a hood ornament on the car of area podiatrist James Wellings, but sources tell The Fluffington Post that Otis has already quit.

“Things seemed to be going well,” said Alec Petrocelli, a dentist who has an office in the same building as Wellings. “But I hear the relationship started to break down last week when Otis started complaining about mouth bugs and James refused to spring for a wind screen.”

The cat’s contract included a rather larger signing bonus, which he’ll reportedly have to return. 

Wellings did not return calls and a spokesperson for Otis declined to comment.
