Welcome home, Floki! The cat's owner told Eyewitness News that the driver returned the cat to the police station on Friday morning after our story aired the night before. "I have no hard feelings," the owner said. "I'm sure Floki doesn't have hard feelings."

Border Patrol agents thought it was a routine interception. Three men were spotted crossing the Rio Grande, one carrying a heavy black duffel bag. But when they dropped it and fled, what lay inside stunned everyone.

Curled up in the dark wasn’t money or drugs — it was a tiger cub. Just 3–4 months old, weak, and barely breathing.

Agents rushed the cub to a zoo, where veterinarians managed to stabilize it. Soon, its eyes opened and its breathing steadied — a fragile life saved at the last moment.

But behind this rescue lies a darker truth: while only about 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, an estimated 5,000 live in U.S. captivity — many smuggled, sold, or lost in the exotic pet trade.

This cub survived. Countless others do not.

Tomorrow is the start of October, and October is Black Cat Awareness Month! Why do we need an entire month devoted to black cats, some might ask?

Well, those of us who have had black cats would be tempted to say: because they are AWESOME, which they are! Unfortunately, however, there are some not so great reasons that we need to promote awareness about these lovely felines. Data shows that black cats still tend to have lower adoption rates and higher euthanasia rates than other cats…. and sadly, superstitious and erroneous beliefs persist that create barriers to adoption as well as outright danger to black cats, especially around Halloween.

You can find a lot more details and information in this very informative article from Catster about black cats, so please read it and share with others!

Heads up! You may see these green, brown, or black pod-like balls on the ground in your neighborhood at this time of the year. They are nuts from black walnut trees. The picture shows black walnuts in various sizes and stages of maturity and decay. Every part of a black walnut tree (nuts, shells, leaves, and wood) is highly toxic to dogs. The initial symptoms of black walnut poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite, followed by tremors, seizures, and jaundice. The toxins in black walnut trees can be fatal to dogs if not treated promptly. Do not attempt to use any home remedies if your dog has ingested black walnut. Time is of the essence--get your dog to a vet immediately. (More info in the comments.)
