The internet loves cats, that’s a hard fact, but they don’t seem to love it back so much, especially not when they’re being adorned in full Star Wars gear for it. An image of a displeased hat after being dressed in a Darth Vader costume has surged online after actor Hamill gave his views via Twitter. Hamill, now 69, played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars movies. “I…can…not….look….away,” he wrote, referencing the cat’s hypnotic eyes, in a quote-tweet of the image....

Ruby’s eyes are wide as she stared in the direction of her owner, who is taking a bath at the time....

In the clip shared by TikTok user leonthecatdad, which can be seen here, a brown marble tabby can be seen watching as her bowl is being filled with dry cat food.

A video shared by the cat owner on TikTok, under the username thenataliahms, shows a cat picture hanging from the wall, and more importantly, how her cat reacted to it. The first time the cat saw the picture, she stared at it for a while and got closer to sniff it. She seemed to realize it was paper and lost interest. Or did she..? The second time, she went for it and attacked....

“I was really scared,” McIntosh told KAIT 8. “I thought she was dead.” On March 13, Sparkles climbed the tree, where she would remain for the next 18 days. Despite McIntosh’s repeated attempts to coax her down with a can of food, she wouldn’t budge. “Everyone came up and got on that ladder to get her and she just would run farther and farther away,” McIntosh said. Desperate, McIntosh contacted several local organizations for help, but, she said, they told her that if she kept putting food out, Sparkles would come down on her own eventually....

Balotelli heading for the scrapheap again The 30-year-old Barcelona defender has helped La Roja to two European Championships and one World Cup success, but has been a vocal supporter of Catalunya becoming an independent nation.

The portrait by Dmitry Levitsky, as well as the letter about the benefits of vaccination against smallpox, were auctioned by McDougall’s in London on Dec. 1.

The complaint was filed by an attorney representing Assumption Church against a neighboring live music venue on February 9. The lawsuit claimed that an illegal marijuana market and a mix of live music events led to an intense odor that entered the building where the friars resided. “As a result, the odor of cannabis smoke has infiltrated and permeated Assumption Church buildings,” the complaint read. New York State passed the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) in March 2021 which legalized adult-use cannabis....

From the get-go, this telecast was a technical disaster. The audio and video feed feeds were not synced up, with audio running about 5-10 seconds behind. Co-hosts Greg Gumbel and Ernie Johnson said one thing but we heard another. The effect was like watching one of those dubbed foreign movies like “Godzilla, King of the Monsters!” The only thing missing was Raymond Burr. Things got so bad during the first 10 minutes that TBS directors cut away from camera feeds of Gumbel and Johnson, relying on audio only....

Following the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, cruises in the U.S. have been suspended since last year following a “no sail order” for cruise ships issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year. The federal health body said in March 2020 it had “reason to believe that cruise ship travel may continue to introduce, transmit, or spread COVID-19.” On October 30, the CDC released its “framework for conditional sailing order (CSO),” which outlined a phased approach for resuming cruises in the U....
