2+ hour, 16+ min ago (937+ words) As South Africa enters its summer months, animal shelters are overflowing with kittens in need of homes. An animal welfare inspector in Cape Town says that this is the worst year yet. Animal activist Ami Stemmet was driving with her husband down the N7 in the northern suburbs of Cape Town when they noticed a dead kitten in the road. Someone had abandoned a box of kittens on an island in the middle of the road. One kitten, the only survivor, was darting in and out of the box. Stemmet, chief inspector for the South African Animal Welfare Inspectorate Association, says this is not an isolated case. Kittens are found all over the city, even inside ceilings or machinery. "I've come home and found kittens dumped inside my cattery in a box without water, without food," says Stemmet. "And just a…...

Cats do, apparently, raise the volume for men, according to a recent study. Earlier this month, the journal Ethology published new research on Friday, November 14, examining how 31 pet cats greet their humans at home and found one very consistent pattern: when the person walking through the door is a man, cats meow more often. Not dramatically differently, not more affectionately, not more anxiously " just louder. Since then, the finding has been popping up everywhere. The New York Times highlighted it. Local TV stations turned it into their feel-good (or feel-called-out) segment of the day. And on Friday, November 28, it hit a whole new audience when Grace Eckerle, a morning…...

4+ hour, 19+ min ago (1667+ words) "A dog is a man's best friend," or so the saying goes, so it only makes sense that when pet owners are considering where to lay down roots for themselves, their beloved pups play an integral role in that decision-making process. Trying to find a city, town, or home that offers not only the amenities that every human in the family is looking for, but also the furry members of the brood can seem like an impossible task, particularly for those who want to settle down in a thriving metropolis, where the dwellings are often smaller and the green open spaces are few and far between. However, that search for the ideal pup-friendly location has now been made just a tiny bit easier thanks to a new ranking that reveals the best (and worst) cities across the U.S. for dog lovers…...

However, one North Carolina driver had to live it stone-cold sober on a Wednesday morning. She was cruising along U.S. Route 74, near the edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, when her day veered straight into folklore.

"You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield," she told the dispatcher. "It absolutely shattered my windshield." The dispatcher didn't blink. "OK. I do believe you, honestly," she said, then let out a laugh that only someone working emergency calls in Appalachia could deliver. Another witness apparently watched the drop, telling the driver it was "the craziest thing…...

Zoologists explained why you can't close doors in front of cats " they like to control everything from nature: "Why do cats go crazy when you close the door? You could give them food, toys, and a whole mansion, but close a single door. And that would be a betrayal. That's the thing.
