Cat patrol

By Xernay Aniwar

Australia is looking to introduce a new feral cat plan. Why? Turns out Australian felines aren’t minding their manners as much as they should, and have been helping themselves to one too many endangered birds. Oops. Gregory Andrews, Australia’s first threatened species commissioner, is plotting to create a law that would make all domesticated cats exclusively indoor cats.

An awkward interview for all

By Tatum Pederson

“Good Day Sacramento” hosts were not very pleased with Cara Delevingne’s responses to their interview questions regarding Cara’s new film, “Paper Towns.” The interview started with one of the hosts mispronouncing Cara’s name as Carla, which was just the beginning of one of the most cringe-worthy interviews we’ve seen in a while. After the first question was fired, Cara was ready to respond with a little zing. “I never read the book or the script, actually, I just kind of winged it,” Cara said, before complimenting author John Green. The team eventually had enough before one of the anchors asked if she was in a bad mood or if it was just them. “No, I think it’s just you,” a confused and laughing Cara responded. Before ending the interview, the “Good Day” host suggested the actress “take a little nap, or maybe get a Red Bull,” as Cara whispered under her breath, “Too far.” Holy awkward!

'Friends' Intro Gets a Furry Re-make

By Alyssa Potter

Forget “man’s best friend” — these rescue puppies just replaced the iconic “Friends” cast in a mock-intro of the famous television series. This video depicts baby canines, rather than the original human actors, running around in inflatable pools, playing with hoses and proving that even the most basic of summer items are so, so much cuter with a puppy — or five. Hilariously enough, Chandler Bing’s character was kept in human form — because, well, why not.
