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
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
