A Russian cat reputed to have psychic powers has predicted the result of the first game of the World Cup.
Achilles, whose day job is catching mice at the St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, plumped for his home nation of Russia, who play Saudi Arabia in the opening match of the tournament today.
The feline garnered a reputation as a psychic last summer by predicting a number of results correctly in the Confederations Cup, which was also held in Russia.
Yesterday Achilles, who is deaf, was presented to the world’s media for his first prediction of the tournament.
The cat was offered two bowls of food with the flags of two nations over each. He initially hesitated for a moment before eating from the one representing his motherland.

LOL, I guess this is preferable to the cat in the Nursing Home that predicted who was going to die soon by jumping on their bed to say hello/goodbye to them!

I never noticed that.
I DID notice that the The Object casts no shadow.
Btw, Joe Bonamassa does a ripping cover of Tea for One.

IIRC, the cover photo was from an advertisement and the ‘object’ was cut out from a polaroid and pasted over the tables centerpiece. That’s why it has no shadow.................
