Kitten Dreams of Being Top Programmer

Kitten Dreams of Being Top Programmer

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

At the tender age of two, Mittens already knows what she wants to be when she grows up: a software engineer. The coding prodigy has already created several high-quality works, including an app for rating brands of cat chow and a casual mobile game about stalking birds. 

“She seems happiest at her laptop, keys clattering under her paws,” according to her mentor, Robin Carlisle. “That’s the kind of dedication you look for in a star programmer.” 

Mittens is already hard at work on a new project. Code-named Red Dot, it’s a hunting simulation that entertains while honing predator skills. She’s considering making a series of educational games for today’s tech-savvy young kittens.

Dog Faces Fines for Skipping Pool Permits

Dog Faces Fines for Skipping Pool Permits

In an effort to beat the record heat forecasted for this summer, a local dog named Chester installed his own swimming pool on the backyard deck.

“The project was a success, but there was one hitch,” says Adam Allehgenni, the dog’s neighbor. “A town inspector passed through on Thursday and dinged him with a fine.”

Chester had neglected to get any permits for his new addition, and his DIY construction violated seven town ordinances.

“It’s about $1,200 in fines,” says Allehgenni. “But Chester doesn’t seem to mind when he’s splashing around in his new pool.”
