Cats with two good lives
"There was a fierce storm that swept through our neighbourhood and when it subsided I went to check on the neighbours," writes a reader from Browns Bay. "I knocked on the door of a woman I hadn't met before. She was all good but as I went to leave she stopped me and asked if I had cats. 'Yes I do, a grey tabby and a small black cat called Felix and Sooty,' I said. She beckoned me down the hall, into her bedroom. There was Felix, curled up in a ball on her kid's bed. 'We call him Jeremy,' she said. 'He comes here all the time,' she said. 'They both do.' Then she proceeded to show me through a photo album featuring pictures of my cats, throughout the four years we had been living next door. Sitting on the laps of other people, frolicking in the garden and straight portraits. My pets were leading a double life."
You looking at me, vegetable?
Police in the rural town of Ludwigslust, Germany, said a man called their emergency number to report having seen "10 to 15 people armed with knives and sticks" on a local road. Within minutes, six police cars were on their way to the scene. Officers quickly discovered, however, that the 'mob' was asparagus harvesters walking along the road with their work tools as they went to take a lunch break. White asparagus is a popular delicacy in Germany. (Source: newser.com)
