A stray cat in Izmir, Turkey recently crashed an Imperial Russian Ballet performance of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, curling up to play with the lifeless Romeo’s hair after his tragic death. Admittedly, that’s some luscious looking hair, and I’d have a hard time not playing with it myself. Sometimes I

I was just thinking the other day how badly my car was missing a wagging tail. Well prayers do get answered, folks — prayers do get answered. Granted not my prayers because I didn’t pray for a waving tail car accessory, I only thought about it. I save my prayers

This is a clip from BBC Studios of a beaver in Yellowstone National Park felling a cottonwood tree and building a dam with it. Apparently beavers can take down a tree like this in a few hours, and a single beaver can fell several hundred trees a year. It’s amazing
