icanhascheezburger_feed) wrote2025-12-19 03:00 pmWhen you're chosen by the cat distribution service, you need to take advantage of it, especially in these winter months. The story goes like this: a woman goes out to her car one night only to find a tiny furball kitten hiding under her car, specifically sitting on her front suspension lower arm assembly. She lets the kitten stay and takes her other car to meet her friends. When she returns a few hours later, the kitten is still there. She wants to see if a mom cat will show up, but the next morning the kitten is still there. She figures she has no other options than to take the little thing in herself.
She claims that it's not the first time the cat distribution service has chosen her. She usually takes care of them and TNR's them before letting them back out into the wild. She will keep this one though, truly a Christmas miracle. She saves the small kitten from the cold, from the harshness of the world, from being a stray cat fighting for her life everyday. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

Edgar Alesis Garcia Riego, 38, of Veracruz, Mexico, was sentenced to five years of supervised release. But court filings say he will almost certainly be deported now that his criminal case is over. He was arrested back in July and spent several months in jail while his case was pending, records show.
Garcia Riego would have been eligible for a multi-year prison term but federal prosecutors recommended he avoid incarceration. Senior U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney handed down the sentence on Dec. 10, records show.
“The totality of the circumstances surrounding the offense—and particularly defendant’s acknowledgement of his wrongdoing, expressions of remorse, and commitment to refrain from engaging in such conduct in the future—validate that the time-served sentence still is appropriate,” a prosecution sentencing memo says.
Garcia Riego admitted to paying $5 to join a child pornography group on a texting application but also “stated he saw three videos he did not like in the Telegram group and then stopped watching,” prosecutors said in court filings.
Garcia Riego’s attorney said in court filings the case has “upended” his life, and that he was placed on administrative leave at the hospital where he works. He’d never been to jail before this, court filings say.
“He will never again be granted a visa to travel to or through the United States, and he will be deported following these proceedings,” a defense sentencing memo says.

Xavier Shirley, of Oakland, was charged with assaulting a police officer — a felony — as well as possessing a dangerous weapon at school, and a misdemeanor count of battery upon another peace officer. The charging records allege that on Nov. 12, Shirley sliced one officer’s hand with a 12-inch knife, and that another officer suffered a tiny cut while attempting to wrestle the weapon away.
During the arrest, police say they fired a less-lethal launcher at Shirley, sprayed him with pepper spray, hit him with a baton, and used a stun gun on him. In a police report, the arresting officer described all these weapons as “ineffective.”
At Shirley’s first court appearance on Tuesday, he was released from jail and ordered to stay away from the UC Berkeley campus. He was also referred to mental health diversion and ordered to “continue treatment” at a local hospital, court records show.
The injured officers were identified in court documents as Eduardo Perez and Weilun Zhao.

icanhascheezburger_feed) wrote2025-12-19 02:00 pmGood meownin, everyone. Actually, for Scrooge cats it's not a good morning, it's a bad morning, a morning full of grumpy glares, hard times, not enough sleep, and everything going not your way. Just like the real Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, you start your day spilling coffee on yourself just to have a good excuse to be angry at the world. Then of course someone cuts you off in traffic, so byt he time you get to work, you've already worked yourself into a steamy, suffocating, indolent frenzy.
Before you get carried away and start reciting prayers backwards in tongues to ward off your bad energy, think about a cat. Think about your cat, think about your cat wearing a Santa hat, and start taking big and long deep breaths. All's okay in the world now, isn't it? Your cat gets grumpy too, don't you know it. But there's seriously nothing cuter and more adorable than a grumpy cat, eyebrows furrowed, and meows sounding more like a growl. With the Christmas holiday approaching quickly, there's no better time to turn that frown upside down.

icanhascheezburger_feed) wrote2025-12-19 01:00 pmAs most of you cat lovers might be aware, cats are a pretty extreme bunch. Some are willing to give themselves over to our will and will let us cuddle and pet them in any position that pleases us. While others would rather turn into blenders of human flesh the moment that we even inch over to touch them. It is not necessarily a reflection of how they feel about us; they just tend to be rather pawticular about how, who, and where they are touched.
But seeing as the finer details of this phenomenon are a little tough to come by, especially for newer cat lovers who have not had too much experience with feline belly rubs, we wanted to share this collection of cat pawrent experiences with you all so that the next time you are presented with a cat belly to pawtentially rub, you will know what the supposed risks and rewards of getting stuck in are.
