Lisa Restine, a Hill’s Pet Nutrition veterinarian, said people looking to adopt kittens should take pairs since cats often bond early in life. And how many cats is too many cats per household?

They say two cats per person in a household, but I think kitties each deserve their own human.

I searched through four major news sites for any story that wasn't overwhelmingly depressing to no avail.

Then I found this.

It's kitten season and the @apnews.com is doing their part. Some adorable pictures here.

Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denounced the war his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been waging in Gaza. In a piece for Haaretz, Olmert referred to the current government as a “criminal gang” led by Netanyahu. As a proud American Jew, I agree.

We’re suing DOJ for defunding local programs that save lives.

These programs make our communities safer – from preventing gun violence to training law enforcement to work with sex trafficking victims.

The Trump admin is trying to end this work, but we will see them in court.

Scary but good read
"In an administration in which the sole goals are valorizing Trump & making him as rich as possible, any official who demonstrates an ability to effectively carry out the business of the govt is viewed w/ profound suspicion. But those willing to learn incompetence & moral obtuseness are promoted."

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.
