It is a known fact that stray cats live shorter lives than housecats. The dangers are greater, the food is more scarce, weather conditions are much more apparent when you don’t have a warm blanket to hide under once it gets cold. Not many cats live to senior age on the streets. But some do. Of course, their chances of survival lower once they are older and a little slower, so it is up to us to help them. If you see a stray senior cat on the street, try to help if you can. That is what the people in this video did. They saw this beautiful stray cat, who has somehow lived more than ten years on its own in the wild, and they knew that a kitty like that, who has been fighting for so, so long, deserved a proper retirement. It wasn’t easy to catch this senior stray cat, despite its age, because of just how careful he was. But they managed. And he is now living his best life under all the warm blankets that he could pawssibly want.

‘He would not have survived the night’: Firefighter finds a fluffy feline outside the firehouse, takes the kitten in for warmth and safety
Firefighters are trained to save lives—big lives, small lives, human lives, and even fluffy lives. Sometimes, the emergency isn’t flames, smoke, or a blaring siren. Sometimes, it’s the softest cry coming from a bush on a cold day.
When a firefighter finds a kitten all alone, there’s no world where that little fluff gets left behind. Because a rescue is a rescue—whether it’s a neighborhood, a person, or a two-week-old baby cat who hasn’t even learned what the world is yet.
This tiny one was chilled, exhausted, and missing their littermates—too young to survive even a single cold night outside. But instead of becoming a heartbreaking statistic, this kitten got a warm place to sleep, safe arms to curl into, and a chance at life. That’s kindness in action.
Not everyone can care for such small kittens. These fragile feline lives need constant feeding, warmth, and medical attention. But what matters most is that someone was there to say, “You’re not alone.” With one call to a rescue, this little stray went from abandoned to protected, from scared to safe.
Firefighters spend their days running toward danger to help whoever needs saving. In this case, the emergency was tiny, fuzzy, and weighed less than a sandwich—but it still counted. And thanks to one compassionate human and a rescue organization ready to step in, this baby now has the future they never would’ve gotten on their own.
A small rescue for the world.
A massive rescue for one tiny life.

Monkeys escape from overturned truck on Mississippi highway
**Monkeys Escape After Truck Overturns on Mississippi Highway**
*HEIDELBERG, Miss. (AP)* — Monkeys being transported on a Mississippi highway escaped captivity Tuesday after the truck carrying them overturned, according to law enforcement officials.
All but one of the escaped monkeys were killed, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department said in a Facebook post, warning that the monkeys were “aggressive.” It remains unclear how many monkeys were originally in the truck.
The truck was carrying Rhesus monkeys, which typically weigh around 16 pounds (7.7 kilograms) and are among the most medically studied animals on the planet. The monkeys were being housed at the Tulane University National Biomedical Research Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, an institution that routinely provides primates to scientific research organizations.
In a statement, Tulane University clarified that the monkeys do not belong to the university, nor were they being transported by the university. Details about the ownership of the monkeys, who was transporting them, and their intended destination have not been disclosed.
Video footage shows monkeys crawling through tall grass on the side of Interstate 59 just north of Heidelberg, Mississippi. Wooden crates labeled “live animals” were found crumpled and scattered around the crash site.
Initially, the sheriff’s department stated that the monkeys were carrying diseases including herpes, but Tulane University later countered in a statement that the monkeys “have not been exposed to any infectious agent.” The sheriff’s department noted that the truck driver informed law enforcement that the monkeys were dangerous and required handling with personal protective equipment.
Tulane University said it is cooperating with law enforcement authorities. Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries was also on the scene.
The crash occurred approximately 100 miles (160 kilometers) from the state capital, Jackson. The cause of the truck overturn remains unknown.

‘She landed through her uncomfortableness and gave me a chance’: After weeks of patience, a once-scared mama cat finally starts to trust the hooman who saved her kittens
Sometimes, the Cat Distribution System delivers in the most unexpected places. While checking on a quiet cemetery, a caretaker discovered a tiny, furry mystery: a carrier, four kittens, and one frightened mama cat.
The kittens wasted no time claiming their new human, climbing pant legs and hearts alike. Mama, however, had clearly seen hard times and wasn’t ready to trust just yet.
One by one, the kittens found loving homes, but the caretaker couldn’t stop thinking about the mama left behind. Through rain, patience, and nightly visits filled with soft words and tasty treats, trust began to grow paw by paw.
Then, one rainy day, she finally allowed herself to be scooped up and taken somewhere safe.

‘The universe had other ideas’: They bought their dream house, but it was the cat who came back to it that made it truly feel like home
**Purrfect Timing! A One-Year Homeowner and Her Feline Queen**
One year ago, this proud new homeowner was just settling in with two kids and a promise. Once the budget bounced back, they planned to adopt a cat. But the universe clearly had other plans—and didn’t want to wait.
One night, a determined feline showed up at their door, meowing as if she already had the keys. Within seconds, she’d claimed the house, leaping from counters to cabinets like a fuzzy parkour champion.
It turns out Angel (as she’s now lovingly called) had been abandoned by the previous owner and stuck around, waiting for her true family to move in.
What began as a stowaway story quickly transformed—Angel is now the queen of the castle, complete with her own bed on the cabinets and two kitten sidekicks to rule alongside her.
From stray to spoiled, this is one glow-up story for the hiss-tory books. Sometimes, you don’t choose the cat—the cat chooses you (and your mortgage).

22 Pictures of Sassy Cats Serving Supreme Side-Eye Energy
Few things in life are as powerful—or as terrifying—as a cat’s side-eye. One squint, one slow turn of the head, and suddenly you’re questioning every life choice you’ve ever made.
Cats have perfected the art of silent judgment, wielding it like royalty with a crown made of sass. Whether you dared to serve dinner five minutes late or had the audacity to move them from their chair, the look says it all: utter disappointment wrapped in whiskers.
It’s not anger. It’s pure feline superiority. That subtle glare communicates, “You’re lucky I tolerate you, hooman,” and yet we still find it adorable.
These side-eye masters could teach a masterclass in drama. One eyebrow flick (if they had eyebrows), and boom! You’re on trial for crimes against catkind.
Still, behind all that shade is a little fluffball who secretly loves you. Probably.
Until then, take comfort in knowing your cat’s judgment means you’re part of their world. No one throws shade quite like a sassy feline.
