Maine Coonâs Fur Keeps His Sphynx Bestie Warm
Sometimes the sweetest friendships form between opposites. Meet Bowie, a 32-pound Maine Coon, and Dolly, an 8-pound Sphynx kitten who canât get enough of her giant, furry best friend.
Dollyâs bare skin doesnât offer much protection against the chill, but Bowie has her covered, literally. His thick fur and sweeping tail make the perfect blanket, and he seems more than happy to play the role of her personal heater. Fans online canât get enough of the pair, with one joking, âSupply and demand. One supplies the warmth and the other demands it.â
While they do play together, cuddling is their favorite pastime. Whether Dolly sees Bowie as a father figure or something closer to a soulmate, their bond is clear: these two are inseparable.


Why Does My Cat Roll on Their Back?
If youâve ever caught your cat belly-up, paws in the air, wiggling like a fuzzy worm, youâre not alone in wondering whatâs going on. Rolling on their back is normal cat behavior, but the reasons behind it vary.
For most cats, itâs simply fun. The movement feels good, helps scratch an itch, or spreads their scent with the glands on their body. Rolling can also be a way to cool off on tile or warm up in a sunbeam. And of course, itâs one surefire way to get your attention.
Sometimes, though, rolling has other meanings. Female cats in heat may roll as part of mating behavior, and anxious cats may do it to soothe themselves with scent-marking. If your cat suddenly starts rolling more than usual or seems uncomfortable, it could signal allergies or pain, in which case a vet visit is a good idea.
Most of the time, though, itâs just your cat being cute.


Why LeafGuard Outperforms Every Other Gutter System
Generic gutter guards are add-on solutions that treat the symptom, not the problem. LeafGuard addresses it at the source by completely replacing your gutter system with a proprietary design that makes clogs physically impossible.
The seamless construction eliminates joints where leaks typically develop. The curved hood uses the principle of liquid adhesion to guide water in while deflecting everything else. Even small debris like seeds and pine needles that slip through mesh guards can't enter LeafGuard's system. The result is a maintenance-free solution that actually works.
Daily Purr readers save with 75% off installation plus $200 off. This isn't just about convenienceâit's about investing in a system that's built to last and performs as promised.

Breed Spotlight: Bombay
If youâve ever wanted a cat that looks like a sleek black panther but fits perfectly in your lap, the Bombay cat might be your match. With their glossy black coats, striking copper or green eyes, and confident personalities, Bombays are as stunning as they are social.
This breed was created in Kentucky in the 1950s by crossing a Burmese with a black American Shorthair, producing the muscular, stocky cats we know today. Their entire body, from nose to paw pads, is jet black, making them stand out from other breeds.
Bombays thrive on attention and donât like being left out of family life. Theyâre affectionate, playful, and often attach themselves like Velcro to one favorite person. Many love playing fetch, learning tricks, or even walking on a leash.
While generally healthy, they can be prone to heart disease and occasional sinus issues, so regular checkups matter. With their bossy but lovable nature, Bombays bring both sass and sweetness into any home.


Could Your Home Pay for Long-Term Care?
Many of us dream about growing old comfortably in the home we love. But as care needs increase, so do the costs, often reaching over $5,000 a month for in-home assistance. If youâre 62 or older, a reverse mortgage can offer a practical solution by turning home equity into tax-free cash (without giving up ownership or moving out). That means you can stay in familiar surroundings, get the care you need, and preserve your independence â all on your terms.
To qualify for a reverse mortgage, you must meet the following requirements:
You must be at least 62 years old.
You must own your home outright or have a low remaining mortgage balance that can be paid off at closing with reverse mortgage proceeds.
The home must be your primary residence (not a second home or rental property).
Eligible properties include single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, townhomes, and certain multi-unit properties (up to 4 units, as long as you live in one).
You must demonstrate the ability to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance costs.
You must complete a HUD-approved reverse mortgage counseling session to ensure you understand the loan terms and implications.
