The animated feature Flow didn’t just walk away with an Oscar — it sparked an unexpected social ripple. Its tale of a black cat navigating a ruined world hit audiences so strongly that shelters across the country began reporting a sudden rise in black cat adoptions.

Historically, these animals have struggled to find homes because of superstition and bias, but the film’s resonance helped flip that narrative almost overnight.

One striking example came from Laredo, Texas, where the nonprofit Best Friends for Life hosted a screening with real rescue cats in attendance, turning a cinematic moment into an adoption drive. The wave of interest underscores how storytelling can shift deep-rooted cultural attitudes, proving that film can do more than entertain — it can rewrite the odds for those left behind.

Purr!!!😸

Research suggests that a cat’s purr vibrates at frequencies between 25 and 150 Hz, which overlap with the same frequency range used in therapies to promote bone healing and tissue regeneration. Scientists believe these vibrations may stimulate bone growth, improve joint flexibility, and even reduce pain and inflammation in humans. While more clinical studies are needed, the evidence points to purring as more than just a soothing sound—it could offer real health benefits to both cats and their owners.

Cats in the news again! 😹✈️

⚠️ Cat stowaways onto plane, causing chaos, flight is canceled, and company suffers millions in losses.

A stowaway cat caused disruption to a Ryanair flight about to take off from Rome last week. The incident occurred when crew members heard meowing during pre-flight checks while helping passengers board the plane.

Initial attempts to capture the animal were unsuccessful, causing it to retreat into the aircraft's interior compartments. The crew located the feline in a forward electrical and equipment compartment of the Boeing 737.

Engineers attempted to access the area by removing the front panels of the cargo hold, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The kitten continued to evade capture, moving through the aircraft's interior spaces.

The Boeing 737 was grounded for two days, causing millions in losses for the airline.

"The cat was a stowaway and could have caused major problems at 30,000 feet," said a source overseeing the search.

The attempt to capture it was unsuccessful, but a door was left open, and the feline was spotted cautiously descending the aircraft steps.

Meow!!! 👏🙏🎉

Scientists at UC Davis and UCSF have completed the first clinical trial of a new cancer drug in pet cats, offering hope for a disease that has long been nearly impossible to treat.

The study found 35 percent of the cats with squamous cell carcinoma who received treatment had their disease controlled with minimal side effects. The drug will likely be effective for humans with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The study was published today in Cancer Cell. https://ucdav.is/46dxcfM

Meow!❤️👨‍🚒👩‍🚒🧑‍🚒😻😻😻

This morning, CAL FIRE TCU-Copperopolis Station firefighters conducted a lifesaving rescue from a vehicle. The driver of the car was confused when she heard calls for help in the form of a MEOW.

With the fire station nearby, she pulled in and asked for assistance. 3 kittens were found and safely removed from various hidden areas of the engine compartment. They will enjoy their newly found home with the car owner. She intends to name them after the firefighters that saved them!
