Thankful Thanksgiving Cats For Hungry Wholesome Hoomans Who Just Want to Eat

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we all love the food. It’s pretty much the food holiday: turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, and moms apple pie. We don’t know about you, but we’re more that excited to be around the dinner table, even if our weird aunt and angsty cousin are there too. Cats love thanksgiving too. They love the family getting together, they love the smell of turkey in the air, and more than anything they love that they get the leftovers. And even though the food is delicious, there’s a limit to how much you can eat. Cats, of course, do not recognize limits. Oh no. Thanksgiving to them is an Olympic-level eating event, and they will absolutely go for gold. The moment the table is cleared, they materialize like tiny, furry vacuum cleaners ready to “help” with the scraps. One paw on the edge of the counter, whiskers twitching, pupils dilated like they’ve just invented hunger for the first time in history. Your aunt’s casserole? They want it. The gravy boat? They need it. The turkey carcass? They would fight a pilgrim for it. And let’s be honest-they’re not subtle about it. Cats will stare directly into your soul as you attempt to pack leftovers, as if sheer eye contact will convince you to “accidentally” drop some turkey on the floor.

China lashes out at The Washington Times columnist over Taiwan

Washington Times columnist Maochun “Miles” Yu (余茂春), one of the nation’s leading China experts, incurred the wrath of the Chinese Communist Party recently, highlighting the global reach of his reports. Mr. Yu appears to have hit a political nerve with his recent opinion article listing 10 reasons why Peking’s call for reunification with Taiwan is “a hoax.” His list includes the fact that Taiwan was never part of Communist China and that Taiwan’s current sovereignty is not an extension of the 1949 civil war between communists and nationalists. “China’s ‘reunification’ slogan,” Mr. Yu wrote Oct. 27, “is a hoax sustained.

Echoes of the Past: Headlines tell stories of another era

There are often some surprisingly bizarre headlines in the newspapers from the 1920s, and this week is no different. The commonly-published sensational headlines certainly drew the attention of readers, urging them to dig deeper into the stories. Here’s the first one capturing my attention from November 1925 “Horse jumps onto auto.” A horse jumped onto the car owned by Mathias Dotseth the other evening, breaking the hood and plunging a piece of windshield glass into the lip of Oscar Dotseth, so that he had to have it sewed together. The Dotseths, with their two sons, were motoring to Decorah from Spring Grove to spend the day with relatives. The incident happened while they were passing Reuben Seeegmiller’s place south of Locust. The post Echoes of the Past: Headlines tell stories of another era first appeared on Enterprise Media.

Most modern dogs have wolf DNA from relatively recent interbreeding. Here’s which breeds are the most and least ‘wolfish.’

Most modern dog breeds have small amounts of wolf ancestry from long after dogs were domesticated, according to a new study. The wolf DNA isn’t left over from when dogs and wolves diverged; instead, it most likely came from interbreeding in the past few thousand years. That wolfish influence may be linked to certain characteristics, such as size and personality traits, in different dog breeds, researchers reported Nov. 24 in the journal PNAS. “Dogs are our buddies, but apparently wolves have been a big part of shaping them into the companions we know and love today,” study co-author Logan Kistler,.
