Cat Named Curator of New York Museum of Modern Art

Turk, a cat from New York’s upper east side, has been named associate curator of the famed MoMA museum.  Art critics lauded the decision, citing Turk’s artistic background, which includes a degree in Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design.

“I’m amazed that they can turn the sides with their paws, let alone get all the colors to match,” said one event attendee in disbelief.
