A cat in China has adopted two orphaned puppies
and is trying to teach them how to catch mice.

The female cat named Tom nurses the puppies
and washes them with her tongue, reports the Yaxin Network.

Owner Ms Shen who lives in Urumchi,
said the puppies’ natural mother Mao Mao
died delivering them a month ago.

She hoped that Tom might take care of the puppies
as she had just given birth to three kittens
and had been close friends with Mao Mao.

“We didn’t dare put the puppies in Tom’s basket at first,
but just outside of it.
Unexpectedly the puppies crawled over to Tom and started
to fight for breast milk with the kittens,” Ms Shen said.

She said Tom was treating her adopted children very well,
even feeding them first, before the kittens.

And, each day Tom was trying to show the puppies how to
catch mice, including how to jump onto the sofa and hide in a corner
before pouncing on them.

However, the two puppies lacked the cat’s agility
and generally failed to jump on to the sofa
and just bit and scratched the cover instead.

Misspelling on lake signs
to get overdue correction.

lake_chargo


The U.S. Geographic Names Information Systems Web site lists about two dozen variations of the lake’s spelling, but none that corresponds with the chamber of commerce signs, which where replaced in 2003.
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is the most widely accepted spelling of the name of the the 3-mile long, 1-mile wide lake.
Jessica L. Bizzak, 19, an Arizona resident who had lived in Fitchburg, noticed the misspelling recently while she and her uncle visited her great-grandmother and other family members in Fitchburg and Leominster.
The Webster-Dudley-Oxford Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors has unanimously agreed to correct the spelling problems on the signs on Route 12 near Oxford and Route 193 near Thompson in Massachusetts.

The robotic unicycle does all the compensating
so the rider doesn’t have to constantly balance themselves.
Go left, right, forward, backward and diagonally with almost no effort.
The battery-powered unit is easy to transport, weighs only 10 kilos,
and can travel up to six kilometers an hour.

Although it does appear that this thing just “floats” along the ground
like a unicycle hovercraft, it doesn’t.
The press release says:
“Multiple small-diameter motor-controlled wheels
were connected in-line to form one large-diameter wheel.”

Here is a giant photo of the “personal mobility device.”
