Some cats only like drinking from certain directions of their water bowl.

When Carolyn’s mom lost her cat in the California wildfires, it felt final. Aggie had vanished during the chaos, and weeks passed with no sign. Then, out of the blue, a shelter called. They’d found a cat—scorched but alive. And somehow, it was Aggie.

Aggie had stayed near the ruins of their home for nearly two months before someone picked her up. No one knows if it was a microchip, a collar, or fate that brought her back. But her family says she’s now safe, recovering, and finally home.

She’s under vet care and slowly gaining strength. Carolyn says Aggie already seems more like herself.

If you ever lose a pet in a disaster, a microchip is your best bet. It can’t fall off, and it could be the one thing that gets them back to you. Flyers, posts, and ID tags help too—but that chip might just change everything.

She may be thinner, slower, and still healing—but Aggie is home, curled up beside the person who never stopped hoping. After weeks of silence, soot, and survival, it’s clear: some bonds are stronger than fire.

Most traditional cat litters are made from strip-mined clay or silica. Both end up in landfills when thrown away and are not biodegradable.

A new natural cat litter called Tailfeather is changing this with their eco-friendly, plant-based, clumping cat litter made from coconut and cassava.

Why coconut? The husk of the coconut absorbs liquid up to 9 times its weight! This makes for a soft, luxurious litter that cats love and is 70% lighter than traditional litter, but also doesn't track and bounce out of the box.

It's fully biodegradable and 100% plastic-free, including the packaging. Tailfeather is delivered conveniently to your door, and each package lasts for 8 weeks, double the amount of other litters.

There’s a wild cat in India that most people have never seen—and it turns out, saving it could help save entire ecosystems. It’s called the fishing cat, and it’s not your typical feline. With webbed feet, short legs, and a love for hunting in water, this rare cat lives in swamps, wetlands, and mangrove forests.

Despite its small size, the fishing cat is a bold predator. It’s been spotted catching snakes, raiding ponds, and even standing its ground against humans. Researchers used to think it only ate fish, but now we know it’s far more adaptable—and far more important.

That’s because fishing cats live in wetlands, which play a huge role in storing carbon and protecting communities from flooding. When the wetlands disappear, so do the cats—and vice versa. By tracking fishing cat populations, scientists are also learning how to protect these shrinking landscapes.

Local kids, conservationists, and even board games are part of the effort. The fishing cat might be elusive, but it’s quickly becoming a powerful symbol of how wildlife and people can thrive together.

Chronic pain affects about 51 million Americans, with half of them under 45—leading active lives, managing demanding jobs, and raising young families. For them, pain often defines their future. Older individuals struggle with basic tasks like bathing and cooking. Opioids, steroids, and over-the-counter painkillers come with harmful side effects from long-term use.

Nápreva provides rapid, effective relief. Users sleep better and experience less stress and anxiety. Made from plant terpenes, clinical studies show Nápreva may be more effective than traditional pain medications—without the side effects.

Try Nápreva risk-free with their money-back guarantee and discover the healing power of plants.
