Cat Sushi Master Nears Perfection

Tumo, a sushi chef who currently works in a small, three table restaurant in Los Angeles, CA, is at the pinnacle of the sushi world – and is also a cat.  Tumo’s restaurant, which does not take reservations, will often have lines of fans stretching around the block, everyone hoping to get a taste of what food writers have dubbed “sushi heaven.”

“The sushi is incredible.  I’ve never tasted anything like it,” said a patron waiting in line on a recent Friday night.  He had been waiting four hours and it did not get in.  "It’s okay.  You never know what it will happen,“ he said. "One of these days I’ll get here early enough to eat again.  It’s totally worth it.”

Experts say that Tumo’s feline sensibilities make her naturally predisposed to creating great sushi.  "Most cats are good at preparing seafood,“ said New York Times food critic Edward O’Day.  "Tumo, of course, elevates it to an art form. That’s talent.”

Kitten’s Funny Faces Not Appreciated by Parents, Teachers

Oliver the kitten has a reputation as class clown.

“He doesn’t get into any real trouble, but he has a bit of an attitude problem,” says Marcia Sedlak, a teacher at Lincoln Elementary. “His funny faces are distracting to other kittens. One day his face is going to get stuck like that.”

Area Cat Blindsided by ‘Empire Strikes Back’ Reveal

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Mitzy the cat couldn’t wait to pop in the VHS copy of The Empire Strikes Back she had just bought. New to the Star Wars franchise, she had enjoyed A New Hope immensely and was now ready to watch the second installment. It would be safe to say she was rather unprepared for the now-legendary plot twist that awaited her. 

“She just could not believe it,” says Dan Marvin, a friend of the cat. “I mean, everybody knows by now that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father. But Mitzy’s a little behind the curve." 

After spending "a good half hour” pacing back and forth, Mitzy finally was able to resume watching.

“She had to collect herself a bit,” says Marvin. “I was like, ‘you know this movie came out thirty two years ago, right?’ It didn’t matter.”
