Here are the top stories in Scottsdale today:

  1. A Scottsdale homeowner found some furry uninvited guests! After hearing some noise in the attic, the homeowner found a bobcat kitten up there. Though the kitten was found all alone, the mother bobcat was later found hiding in the bathroom. Arizona Game & Fish and Southwest Wildlife captured the bobcats, safely removed them from the home, and reunited them as they were released back into the wild. (Arizona's Family)
  2. Looking for a cool way to spend your hot summer afternoons? Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West is offering western movie matinees on Thursdays and Sundays in July and August. Screenings start at 2 p.m., and the lineup kicks off with "Jews of the Wild West" on Sunday, July 23. Movies are free to members or with paid admission, or non-members can go see the movie only for $5. Popcorn and bottled water are available for purchase.
