Cat Culinary Prodigy Is a Whiz in the Kitchen

Yuma the cat may only have paws, but she is a culinary wunderkind.  Though only 4 years old, the talented feline has already been shortlisted for a James Beard Rising Star award and has apprenticed at some of the best restaurants in both Europe and America.

“She’s incredible,” said Alistair Gross, Chef de cuisine at Savoureux in New York City, where Yuma spent last summer as an apprentice saucier.  "Sure the Béchamel sometimes had a little fur in it, but she could do things with an immersion blender that take most chefs years to master.“

Yuma’s goal is to open a Michelin starred restaurant in her hometown of Boston, where there are currently no eateries thus rated.

Kitten Is Nervous About First Day of Work

Kitten Is Nervous About First Day of Work

Tomorrow is the first day on the job for Calcifer, a kitten from Melbourne, Australia.  Calcifer has been unemployed for five months and recently landed a job as an executive assistant at a large insurance firm downtown.  

“On the one hand, his favorite sandwich place is right around the block from the office, so he’s psyched about that,” said roommate Joel Brown.  "On the other hand, it’s been awhile since he was part of the rat race.  He’s a little nervous about acclimating to the whole nine to five thing.  He set like six alarms on his iPhone for tomorrow morning.“

Paranoid Kitty Convinced Tinfoil Keeps the Government Away

Olive, a cat from Astor Place, North Carolina, is convinced that someone is out to get her and that tin foil is the best way to keep herself safe. 

“We thought it was a joke at first,” says family friend Tina Jameson. “She’d make these tin foil hats that were supposed to protect her brainwaves from the government.  It was funny.  But then she started covering the whole house in foil, and we realized it wasn’t a joke to her.”

Friends say Olive’s erratic behavior began recently, but has rapidly gotten worse.  The folks in the unmarked black van outside of Olive’s house would not comment for this story.

STUDY: Cuteness Can Make You Live Longer

STUDY: Cuteness Can Make You Live Longer

According to a new study published today in Hello Kitty magazine, viewing at least one hour of cuteness each day can lengthen your lifespan by up to five years.

“What we found was that there is a direct correlation between cuteness viewed and longevity,” said Dr. Elliott Bowman, the lead researcher for the study.  "We showed pictures of cute bunnies to lab rats and found that for the groups that were shown photos an hour or more each day, their life expectancy was raised by around 7% compared to the control group. That translates to approximately an extra five years in humans.“

Bowman said his team was able to replicate its findings with bunnies, who were shown mainly cute pictures of lab rats.
