Lisa Restine, a Hill’s Pet Nutrition veterinarian, said people looking to adopt kittens should take pairs since cats often bond early in life. And how many cats is too many cats per household?

They say two cats per person in a household, but I think kitties each deserve their own human.

Welcome to kitten season, when animal shelters need all the help they can get It's kitten season in warm-weather areas and animal shelters need all the help they can get. Now is the time of year when most cats give birth.

I searched through four major news sites for any story that wasn't overwhelmingly depressing to no avail.

Then I found this.

It's kitten season and the @apnews.com is doing their part. Some adorable pictures here.

NOT trained officers, let alone trained humans.

These people are bottom of the barrel and should not be cosplaying as enforcers!

I’m sure this POS got his rocks off kidnapping someone then stupidly pulling a gun on an innocent bystander.

Why Ehud Olmert Thinks His Country Is Committing War Crimes The Former Israeli Prime Minister explains how his view of the conflict in Gaza has shifted.

Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denounced the war his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been waging in Gaza. In a piece for Haaretz, Olmert referred to the current government as a “criminal gang” led by Netanyahu. As a proud American Jew, I agree.

Nationwide Coalition Sues To Stop Trump-Vance Administration Cuts to Local Programs that Save Lives and Make Communities Safe - Democracy Forward

We’re suing DOJ for defunding local programs that save lives.

These programs make our communities safer – from preventing gun violence to training law enforcement to work with sex trafficking victims.

The Trump admin is trying to end this work, but we will see them in court.

Let It Burn For Black people, watching the Nottoway plantation go up in flames felt like witnessing a lie collapse under the weight of truth.

When Nottoway Plantation burned to the ground last week, artist Damien Davis felt something strange but familiar: relief — a kind of exhale he didn’t know he was holding.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.

The Perils of Offshoring Justice Texas and the U.S.–El Salvador Prison Pipeline

By bankrolling El Salvador’s excesses and broadcasting the dramatic footage for domestic political gain, Washington is sending a signal that rights-free “security” can be not only tolerated but internationally legitimized.

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's family escaped Herod's purported infant killing spree by crossing the border to Egypt.

I guess he's "gross" to Laura Loomer too.
