Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Sharp rise in cat intakes at the Animal Shelter prompts poop dirt plea. (pasadenian.com) — Pasadena residents are being asked to help the city's animal shelter cover an unexpected surge in cat intakes by donating any brand of non‑clumping litter. You can drop off supplies at the Burke Road shelter or order from its Amazon wishlist while they wait for a mid‑week shipment. Staff emphasize how much community support has already meant to the animals.
• Harris County Judge calls for special session on Flock as governor pulls state funding (click2houston.com) — Pasadena is among several Houston-area police departments facing new scrutiny over how officers search Flock license-plate databases, as Harris County leaders debate stronger privacy safeguards and oversight. With the governor pulling some state funding and one nearby city dropping Flock entirely, local residents may soon see changes in how automated plate readers are used and paid for across the county.
• Buffalo herds dominated the Houston area for millennia. Then the fences went up. (houstonchronicle.com) — Pasadena gets a nod in this look at how buffalo once roamed freely across what is now the Houston region, before fences and development pushed them out. Armand Bayou Nature Center in Pasadena now keeps a small herd on restored prairie, offering a glimpse of that lost landscape. The story traces the animals' long history and disappearance from the area.
