The pair of felines undoubtedly have an uncanny likeness, with gray striped fur and yellow eyes.

She wrote: “People always ask how I can tell my cats apart; and I can never answer how....

A video shared by the cat’s owner, under the username Atargatisfairy, shows an open McDonald’s bag with a handle missing, and the cat wearing the missing piece over its neck. The clip comes with a caption that says: “Cats proving once again, they’re sneaky but not great at hiding evidence.” Research shows that cats are very smart creatures, but we just don’t know enough about them yet. A study by Japanese scientists from the University of Tokyo, published by academic journal PLOS One, says that cats are able to track their owner’s location using the sound of their voice....

“We were initially called by the female’s carer, who reported her as missing,” explained Eleanor Richards, Bodmin Police community support officer, to Newsweek. “The female lives in a rural location and her property is surrounded by large fields.” As the search, which occurred on Saturday in Cornwall, England, continued, the woman’s neighbor spotted her pet cat, Piran, “in the top corner of a large field near her property.” “Piran…sat meowing, and as the [neighbor] looked through the hedgerow [they] could hear the lady shouting for help,” added Richards....

To ease our way back into football season, HBO’s show “Hard Knocks” is back for its tenth season featuring none other than the Texans and their star J.J. Watt.

There are a few germs that commonly cause swimmer’s ear including pseudomonas and, less often, various fungi. Even though you can contract swimmer’s ear from community pools, since most community pools and hot tubs take precautions to keep the water clean (like adding chlorine), you are more likely to get swimmer’s ear from swimming in a lake, the ocean, or another contaminated water source. That said, however, the real bottom line is that getting any water in the ear poses a risk for swimmer’s ear, and the longer you have water in your ears the more likely you are to end up with swimmer’s ear....

If you have tinnitus, you will hear a sound that is not coming from the environment.

Tinnitus can be associated with anything that causes hearing loss. For example, ear wax or fluid in the middle ear can cause tinnitus....

James led the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2018 and was a big reason the team saw as much success as it did in the playoffs, winning the Eastern Conference finals.

This will be a reverse fixture of the third game of the Tri-Series. Both Zimbabwe and Uganda faced off in the third game and it was a nail-biting contest.

Only three batters managed to get to double digits, with Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano top-scoring with 46....

It neared its crescendo as Ovechkin flipped it back to Kuznetsov, who at this point had split two Penguins and was streaking toward the Pittsburgh net. And it culminated jubilantly and unexpectedly in the corner moments later, with the puck in the net and Kuznetsov’s teammates mobbing him after he ended two decades of frustration with a flick of the Russian’s wrist. The ghosts of past playoff failures, many of them at the hands of the Penguins, were gone....

Yet the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war machine presses ahead for a war resolution on Capitol Hill. Democrats originally wanted to put off the vote until after Election Day, arguing that it was too important to be treated like a political football. They lost that battle. Now they want a quick vote on the theory that they can then get back to domestic issues. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and other key Democrats made a valiant attempt on Thursday to return the national conversation to the faltering economy, but with protestors interrupting Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s testimony before a House committee with antiwar chants, Iraq continues to claim center stage, for better or worse....
