So This Happened: Martha Stewart Bit Her Kitten

Shine's spotlight of the most jaw-dropping photo from today's news.

Leave it to Martha Stewart to take the concept of "Tiger Mom"-or some might say, "alpha bitch"--to a whole new level. According to the domestic diva's blog, in late June she added two arrivals to her menagerie of Chow dogs, horses, exotic chickens, and Persian cats--boy kittens named "Kublai Kahn" and "Ch'in." Anyone who has ever encountered a Persian (or seen the movie 'Babe') knows how bossy and demanding they can be, but please, we're talking about Martha Stewart here, this is the lady who taught hardened criminals to crochet. "As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face," she writes. While Animal Behavior expert Nicholas Dodman, PhD, tells Shine, "As far as I know there is no [scientific] explanation for this lesson." Stewart claims, "This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother."
