  • Rosie ‘the Oldest Cat in the World’ Dies Aged 33

    Metro (U.K.) ^ | Sep 16, 2024 | Sara Odeen-Isbister
    A much-loved moggy called Rosie, believed to be the oldest cat in the world, has died at the ripe old age of 33. The tortoise-shell walked into the hallway of her home in Norwich, Norfolk, lay down and passed away, said her devoted owner Lila Brissett, 73. Rosie was born in 1991 and turned 33 on June 1, which in cat years is an extraordinary 152. Lila never got around to registering her pet as officially the oldest in the world, but the current Guinness World Records holder, a cat called Flossie from Kent, is a mere 28 years old....

    The last few weeks support my theory that leftist feminist - lefteminism - is not a political or social ideology but a form of psychosis. For the idiots out there, I’m not talking about the idea that women should be treated equally to men with only a few necessary allowances for differences. I’m talking about the bizarre ideology that had been on display again and again in this campaign. Lefteminism has nothing to do with empowering women. It is merely a collection of hysterical daddy issues compounded by its affluent, over-credentialed practitioners’ personal psychodramas. Now, this is where we stop...

    On July 1, Alex Bitts was walking into work at Sutter Roseville Hospital when she stopped near a drainage ditch outside after hearing what she said was a cat "yowling." "Cats generally don't yowl like that unless something is wrong," Betts said. She went down and looked into a small cement tunnel to find a cat barely holding on to life. "It took me a while to get the cat close enough to see it because it didn't want to come close," Betts said As an animal lover at heart, Betts did what she says was the right thing to...
  • ‘Childless cat lady’ is a more common lifestyle choice. Here’s what being child-free means for your money

    The stigma of the “childless cat lady” persists, but these days, more young adults are embracing that label and opting out of parenthood — and benefitting, at least monetarily. Nearly a quarter, or 23%, of millennials and Generation Zers without children do not plan on having children, primarily due to financial reasons, according to a recent consumer spending and saving index by MassMutual. A preference for financial freedom and the inability to afford children are equally cited by 43% of younger generations, MassMutual found. The survey polled 1,000 adults in July. To be sure, money is a major reason some...

    Only Rayne Beau, a house cat from Salinas, California, knows how he survived 60 days on his own and traveled 800 miles from Yellowstone National Park to a shelter in Roseville, California, about 200 miles from home. Rayne Beau was traveling with his owners, Benny and Susanne Anguiano, camping in Yellowstone National Park in June. For reasons known only to himself, the cat got spooked, ran off into the wilderness at their campsite and disappeared. The Anguianos told KSBW TV news in Salinas this week that they spent several days trying to find Rayne Beau and lure him back, while...

    SPRINGFIELD, OH — As viral videos and reports of migrants abducting and eating housepets and geese swept the nation, a large mob of Ohio cats took to the streets to protest Haitian immigration. The crowd of protesting cats — many of which claimed to be survivors of attempted eatings — carried picket signs and stopped traffic to call attention to the dangers Haitian migrants posed to American society at large, and the local cat population in particular. "End immigration meow!" one cat shouted as he marched through the streets. "We are pets — not food! My brother went for a...

    What is she wearing? Jill Biden arrived at the Élysées Palace for the state dinner on Saturday evening wearing an obnoxious velvet dress. Dr. Jill has been racking up frequent flyer miles with multiple military transatlantic flights. She flew from DC to France earlier this week to attend the D-Day ceremonies, flew back to Delaware to attend Hunter Biden’s criminal trial, then flew back to France. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is lecturing the world on climate change being the greatest threat to humanity.

    “Not to have a correct political orientation is like not having a soul.” -Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong took over China with a strategy that will sadly feel unsettlingly familiar to us. Because he was able to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to comply, often enthusiastically, with his catastrophic programs, an adequate name for that strategy would be the politics of compliance. Understanding the basic premises and mechanisms of the politics of compliance is necessary for us today because these same methods are being used maliciously on us, thus require resisting, and because familiarity with these tactics at least partially inoculates...

    A presumed mountain lion sighted this week walking atop a fence in South San Francisco turned out to be a large gray cat, police reported. “We were able to confirm the Big Cat was not a mountain lion,” the South San Francisco Police Department said in a post on its Facebook page. “We are happy to report there is no potential threat for the neighborhood.” The animal was spotted by a home security camera early Tuesday morning walking along the fence line separating two homes on the 200 block of Mansfield Drive. The photo of the cat was posted as...

    A game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies came to a brief halt on Friday, when a cat of unknown origin tried to live out its big league dreams. During the eighth inning, the cat made its first appearance — really more of a teaser — by running along a wall behind home plate. No one on the field seemed to notice.

    (CNN)A livestream of a virtual court proceeding in Texas took an "appawling" turn when a lawyer appeared as a cat on screen. Judge Roy B. Ferguson of the 394th Judicial District Court in Texas kindly addressed the cat in the virtual room, suggesting that attorney Rod Ponton adjust his Zoom settings. The mishap on Tuesday was posted by the court's YouTube channel. "Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings," the judge said. The small, white kitten looked sad with its concerned eyes darting back and forth. The kitten opened its mouth to speak....

    Thru a tale of misunderstandings, Jae Seon, the boy Sol Ah loves, thinks that Sol Ah has abandoned a kitten and, abandoned often as a child, he pulls away from her. But when a new girlfriend returns the rescued cat 10 years later, Jae Seon reluctantly allows Sol Ah to keep it until he can find it a new home, allergies preventing him from keeping it himself. And that’s when the cat discovers that, when he’s with Sol Ah, he can become human. As misunderstandings resolve, a love triangle complicates the situation.

    As a consistent critic of Lil Annie Menopause Coulter I have mocked her over the past three years. I never saw any reason to support this hideous bag of quisling bones. Nevertheless, every thread dealing with this lowlife invariably draws her supports out and there will be comments in her support. This always puzzles me considering what site we are on. These things said, I have to ask; given this latest spew of vicious mendacity from this foul pos a woman, what do her supporters have to say to this tweet from their hero?

    Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign responded to former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Donna Brazile’s criticisms of the Clinton campaign, including the charge the campaign essentially rigged the 2016 primaries.“It is particularly troubling and puzzling that she would seemingly buy into false Russian-fueled propaganda, spread by both the Russians and our opponent, about our candidate’s health,” reads a letter published online Saturday that was signed by former Clinton campaign officials, including Huma Abedin, Robby Mook, Jennifer Palmieri and John Podesta.Brazile wrote an op-ed Thursday for Politico, claiming the DNC entered into an agreement that gave the Clinton campaign de facto control of...

    It's a common retort among those who have to work with President Trump but don't appreciate his tweeting: The president can do two things at once. Trump allies' argument goes like this: “The fact of the matter is that he can do more than one thing at a time,” Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said on NBC's “Meet the Press” on Sunday. That's technically true. The president can send a tweet while he's in a meeting. He could probably send several. It takes all of a couple seconds — a couple minutes, max — to formulate and post...
