“Baking specialist,” commented a Twitter user. “This is a win-win, cats are often up bright and early, so if you leave your cat with dough you can wake up to freshly baked rolls. Might be a bit of fur in it, but I guess you cannot have it all,” joked another. “I think the kitty is getting a hang of this. Good job,” posted a third. “Just do-ough it,” expressed a fourth. “So cute,” shared a fifth. “Catatouille in making,” wrote a sixth. What are your thoughts on the video of this cat imitating a chef?
