It’s a sad story turned into the most adorable thing ever.  Kitty the cat was found abandoned in a garden when she was only one day old; Buttons the Jack Russell terrier was one of eight puppies, abandoned by her mother because she is the runt of the litter.  Rather than letting the two foundlings die, the staff at Battersea Cats and Dogs home decided to raise them together by hand.  Kitty and Buttons are now a pair of mismatched interspecies sisters, and are the most adorable baby animals in the history of adorable baby animals.

“Normally we’d hand rear puppies and kittens separately but we thought we could try putting them together as they are both so young.  Luckily it’s paid off as they adore being with each other and do everything together – it’s really very sweet,” says Sascha Taylor, the nurse at Battersea who takes care of the two.  “Hand-rearing them is hard work – I have to feed them every two hours, even throughout the night – but it’s totally worth it.  We’re not sure if they’ll be re-homed together, though it would be great if they did.”

Whoever adopts one better adopt the other.  When Kitty gets sent to the cattery to spend time with other cats, the two of them cry until they’re back together again.  They’re as close as sisters can be, and they deserve to be together forever.  The pair of them are 4 weeks old, and if someone in the UK doesn’t go adopt them, I’m going to buy a plane ticket and do it myself.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them!

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
