Today's riddle: How do you know the moon is going broke? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 'It's a cat on a leash!' Why many LA people walk their feline friends (newstribune.com) — A growing number of Angelenos are walking their cats on leashes or in strollers, but Pasadena's Tail Town Cats rescue urges residents to do it cautiously. The Pasadena cat café's director explains how sudden noises, dogs, and coyotes can easily spook cats, and offers practical tips on harnesses, timing, and enrichment so local owners can keep their pets safe while exploring outdoors.
2. For the unhoused, there's a complicated bond between people and their pets (localnewspasadena.com) — Unhoused residents in Pasadena and Los Angeles often rely on pets for companionship, safety, and emotional support, but strict shelter pet policies can keep them on the streets. Local group Pasadena Humane is stepping in with food banks and owner-assistance programs to help people keep their animals during financial hardship, highlighting how supporting pets and their owners must go hand in hand.
3. Judge Approves $20K Settlement For Boy Hurt on LA Zoo Carousel (mynewsla.com) — A 12-year-old Pasadena boy injured on the Los Angeles Zoo carousel will receive just under $11,000 after fees from a court-approved $20,000 settlement. The child suffered three leg fractures when his foot was caught as the ride stopped, while the city denied negligence and argued it was not liable in court filings.
4. Weather Insider: The satellites studying our oceans and El Niño (kesq.com) — From Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, scientists are using Sentinel-6 satellites to track rising sea levels and the powerful El Niño expected to shape Southern California's weather this year. Their precise ocean measurements help forecasters anticipate storms and flooding risks, giving local agencies and residents more time to prepare for potentially severe rain, especially across inland areas like the Coachella Valley.
