Man Opens ‘cat garden’ for 200 cats
A man in India has established a home for cats named ”Cat Garden” spread across an area of 500 square yards.
Goswami, a custom house agent living in Gandhidham city in Kutch, established the ”Cat Garden” in 2017, which has over 200 cats now. He dedicated the cat house to his late sister who died in 1994.
“We celebrate the birthday of my late sister every year. One day a cat entered our house and ate her birthday cake. Since then, it has been staying with us. We believe that it is our sister who is staying with us in the form of the cat,” he said.
He further stated that his family started raising many cats since then and it was in 2017 that he established a cat house for them.
“There are showers and a mini theatre where the cats watch animal related shows in the evening. They are given food three times a day and we provide them with best brands of cat food,” Goswami said adding that the cat house was “opened for visitors four hours every Sunday with a minimal entry fees.” – ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
