Cat in shelter is more like a dog ‘in all the best ways' — and a ‘bit of a diva'

Cat in shelter is more like a dog ‘in all the best ways' — and a ‘bit of a diva'

Miami Herald16-05-2025
A cat with a dog-like personality (and a scarily popular name) is looking for a new home that will appreciate her canine ways in Texas.
Meet Church — yes, the same name as a famous cat in Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary' — a cat who only cats when it's convenient for this little beauty, and who is itching to be someone's next best friend.
'Church is a gorgeous, fluffy gray girl with a heart full of adventure and a serious love for attention,' the South Plains Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Lubbock said in a May 15 Facebook post.
'This spirited feline is anything but ordinary — she's more dog than cat in all the best ways. She loves going on little adventures (on a leash, of course), being carried around like the queen she is, and getting endless pets, scratches, and lap time.'
Of course, she still does all the lovable things cats do, which include warming laps and making biscuits, and she hates confinement (she prefers a leash).
'She's also a bit of a diva and wants all your affection to herself, so she'll need to be the only cat in the home. But with a personality as bold and affectionate as hers, she's all the feline you'll need,' the shelter continues. 'If you're looking for a fluffy best friend who acts a little like a dog, loves hard, and explores life with you — Church is your girl.'
Currently, Church isn't listed on the shelter's website, so for more updates, check out the shelter's Facebook page.

New on Prime Video in August 2025 — all the new shows and movies to stream this month

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A new month means there's a smorgasbord of new Prime Video titles arriving on Amazon's popular streaming service. There's plenty to get excited about with Prime Video's August 2025 lineup. That's why we've laid out a comprehensive list of everything arriving on Prime Video this month. We've also spotlighted a few standout picks you won't want to miss, including the fourth and final season of Prime Video's sci-fi dramedy "Upload," the Oscar-winning "Conclave" and a new crime comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson. Not in the mood for these picks? Be sure to check out our curated guides to the best movies and shows currently on Prime Video for even more streaming recommendations. Now let's dive into everything new coming to Prime Video this August. NEW ON PRIME VIDEO IN AUGUST 2025: TOP PICKS 'The Pickup' Prime Video is following the success of "Heads of State" with an explosive new action comedy starring Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer this month. "The Pickup" looks like a funny enough comedy caper, one that fans of last summer's "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" or "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" will no doubt want to check out. Murphy and Davidson team up as a pair of armored truck drivers who get in way over their heads after a routine cash pickup goes horribly wrong. While en route to their destination, they're targeted by dangerous criminals. After a wild chase, the hijackers' savvy leader, Zoe (Keke Palmer), reveals their plans go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos erupts around them, the mismatched pair must navigate life-threatening dangers, clashing personalities, and the day from hell that just keeps getting worse. Stream 'The Pickup' on Prime Video from August 6 'Conclave' Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar-winner "Conclave" is one movie I did not expect to love as much as I did. I put it on to pass the time during a trans-Atlantic flight earlier this year, and even half-asleep, watching from a teeny, tiny screen, I was glued from start to finish. I'm only half-joking when I describe it as "Mean Girls" at the Vatican, and I'm dead serious when I say it's got some of the top performances of Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci's careers. When the sudden death of the pope sparks a high-stakes election to choose his successor, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Fiennes) is tapped to lead the proceedings just as he's wrestling with his own crisis of faith. As the four favored candidates each outline their pitch for the church's future, Lawrence stumbles upon some shocking secrets hidden by the late pope — revelations that not only threaten to upend the election but could rock the very foundations of the Church. "Conclave's" all-star cast, compelling mystery, and Lawrence's affecting personal journey make this one Oscar winner I firmly believe everyone should watch. Stream 'Conclave' on Prime Video from August 9 'Upload' final season "Upload" is one Prime Video original I haven't checked out yet, but given that it's created by "The Office" alum Greg Daniels, it's definitely earned a spot on my watchlist. Set in the not-so-far future of 2033, this sci-fi dramedy series imagines a world where people can upload their consciousness into a digital afterlife of their choosing. When computer programmer Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) dies in a tragic accident, he's uploaded to the luxurious virtual world of Lakeview thanks to his controlling, still-living girlfriend, Ingrid (Allegra Edwards). As he adjusts to his strange new reality, he begins to suspect there's more to his death than he was led to believe. In season 4, the cast will contend with a sentient AI threatening to wipe out Lakeview and the world. With just four episodes to pull off one of the show's most ambitious storylines yet, each installment promises to be packed with high-stakes tension, drama, and plenty of the series' signature wit.

Can you spot the Ontario locations in HBO's new trailer ‘IT: Welcome to Derry'?

Fans are inching closer to seeing the new IT series on HBO featuring the menacing clown that has plagued children's nightmares for years. HBO dropped the second official teaser trailer over the weekend showing even more locations that many in Ontario might recognize. The upcoming HBO original series, 'IT: Welcome to Derry' is based off Stephen King's 1986 novel called 'IT' and is supposed to be a prequel to the popular 'IT' films, according to Warner brothers in a news release. The new teaser shows a family who moved to a sleepy little town called Derry, and a group of children investigating the strange things going on in the tiny community. The new trailer shows the iconic red balloon although not much was shown of Pennywise. The series that is scheduled to premiere in October will see Bill Skarsgard reprise his role as the notorious evil clown. Filming for the 'IT' prequel began in 2023 in a number of locations in Canada including some spots in Toronto and Port Hope, according to reports by TV Guide. Some shots were also filmed in a school in Hamilton. Some scenes were shot in some residential areas in Toronto. Most of the filming was done in Toronto. The city's residential areas served as the stand in for the mysterious town of Derry. Scenes from the teaser released by HBO showing a road in Port Hope. The teaser also shows some of the young characters biking in the middle of the road that viewers might recognize as the Ontario town of Port Hope. Actors in the film production of 'Welcome to Derry' run through some rehearsals on Walton Street in Port Hope. In April 2024, Downtown Port Hope seemed to have been transported back to the 60s when filming crews filled Walton Street with vintage cars. Some interior and exterior scenes were shot at private businesses in the area. Other scenes were also reportedly shot in some parts of Hamilton. Derry High School as shown in the teaser. In early 2024, the show's cast and crew were spotted filming some scenes in the former Delta Secondary School. The latter is the stand in for the local Derry high school in the show.

People Are Slamming The Worst Weddings They've Ever Attended, And Woooooooof

Reddit user Fantastic_Series_599 asked community members to share what happened at the worst wedding they've ever been to. BuzzFeed Community members also chimed in with their stories of weddings gone awry. Here's what people revealed: 1."The meal was given depending on whether you were on the bride's or groom's side, and there was a big difference. The bride and groom's parents had very different financial statuses, and they each provided for their guests based on that. We had hand stamps." —u/Pistalrose 2."I went to a wedding where the bride insisted on traveling by horse and carriage to the reception. It took ages since the venue was a few miles from the church. Everyone was just standing around waiting for the bride and groom to show up. When they eventually turned up, the bride insisted that she and her new husband go to their hotel room to consummate the marriage (she was desperate to get pregnant). So, there was even more standing around until they showed up. It was all really, really cringey." —u/IAmDyspeptic 3."I was at a wedding where the minister had just gotten a the theme of his sermon was about how common divorce is. It was like he had completely forgotten it was a wedding ceremony. Extremely uncomfortable for everyone, but especially the poor bride and groom!" —apromisingyoungwoman 4."There were 250 people bussed out to a wedding barn. There were beautiful decorations, an open bar, and lots of dancing. The bathrooms didn't work, so we all had to pee outside. The biggest issue was that it was pouring rain. The water was not draining anywhere, so when you had to pee, you got mud all over your fancy heels, making it obvious that you peed in a bush a few feet from the door. If you went further away, you would sink into the mud mid-calf. Buses didn't return until 11:00 p.m. after five hours of open bar!" —u/comomathome 5."The bride had an audible, profanity-laden, and very loud meltdown in the church entryway that reverberated around the congregation because her grandmother had not adhered to her preferred color theme. She wanted everyone in black and white so her dress would stand out. Apparently, the tiny lady who loved her 'RUINED EVERYTHING' because of her duck egg blue hat. It was unreal." —u/ClareSwinn 6."The bride wanted her cat at the wedding, and the groom and his best man brought the uncaged cat to the car and went through the car wash right before the wedding. The cat freaked and scratched up the groom's face and peed all over the best man's tux an hour before the wedding." —u/Intrepid-Fox-7231 7."I've attended about 25 weddings in the last 10 years and been a maid of honor in six. I'm wedding'd OUT! But the absolute worst one I attended was on a hot July evening, outdoors, in Texas. Gnats and mosquitoes were EVERYWHERE. You simply could not get rid of them. The bride grabbed a mic and sang LOUDLY to her groom as she walked down the aisle — probably 10 minutes in total. The ceremony was extremely long, and the food had legitimately been out for hours by the time we got to the reception area. It was cold and had been swarming with flies, even inside. The building was so small and there were so many people that once you got seated at a table, there was genuinely NO room to move. I'm not kidding. I've always been little and couldn't even get through the tables to use the bathroom." "Once we got food and sat down (for the long haul, since it was impossible to get up again), they played music SO LOUDLY that you couldn't even hear yourself talk. Then there were traditional dances with cultural music. To clarify, I have no problems with having cultural things at your wedding! You SHOULD! But the combination of everything was truly unbearable and unkind to guests. We left about six and a half hours after arriving. We couldn't break away sooner, unfortunately." —jcismybestfriend 8."I attended a family wedding where the groom told his mother-in-law about an hour before the ceremony that he didn't like her. There were a lot of tears, but the bride married him anyway. After the reception, he got drunk and tossed his wedding ring into a field, and a wedding guest found it the next morning. Somehow, they are still married, but I don't have a lot of hope for their future." —u/iamgotch 9."About 15 years ago, I attended a small wedding as the maid of honor's date in Las Vegas. Almost immediately after the ceremony, the newlyweds argued about something (I have no idea what), and the bride and groom ran off in separate directions. My then-girlfriend went to chase after the bride, and everyone else chased after the groom. Within less than a minute, everyone was gone, and I had no service on my phone, so I hung out in the casino alone for about two hours until everyone returned and acted like nothing strange had happened. That couple split after about a year and a half." —u/BobVilasBeard 10."The worst wedding I attended featured a best man's speech that was so inappropriate and offensive that it shocked everyone. He shared embarrassing stories about the groom (mentions of sex workers, his ex-girlfriends, and a lot of other weird sex-related stuff), made tasteless jokes about the bride (fat-shaming a woman who was pregnant), and used offensive language. The atmosphere went from festive to tense, with guests visibly uncomfortable and some even walking out. The bride and groom were mortified, and what should have been a joyful celebration turned into an awkward and upsetting experience for everyone involved." —u/Current_Towel2873 11."At the reception, I was sitting at a table with strangers. Turns out the bride's ex was sitting with us. I know this because he told me so before he projectile vomited onto the table, hitting my date in the face. We laugh about it now." —u/ExPristina 12."The unity candle started a fire in the church. They were able to put it out before it got too bad, but that was definitely interesting." —u/danaredding 13."At the reception, the bride's father got angry because he felt the band was playing too loud while he was trying to converse with the guests. So, he sent the band home. They literally stopped playing mid-song (KC and The Sunshine Band's 'Celebrate') and started packing up." —u/ArkayLeigh 14."There was a four-hour gap between the wedding and reception, with no food or drinks of any kind provided. We weren't aware of this gap, as the invitation said, 'Reception to follow.' While we left and got Burger King, others couldn't, so they were starving. Then, when dinner finally rolled around, everyone got undercooked/raw chicken. Also, the DJ only played one-minute iTunes previews of songs mixed with Disney songs." —u/gertrudeblythe 15."The groom got into a fistfight with one of the bartenders, and one of the guests got so drunk that the EMTs were called. The police car that carried the groom away was closely followed by the ambulance. I actually consider it one of the best weddings I've been to, at least in terms of being memorable, but the bridal couple (who are still married 20+ years later) may disagree." —u/madcats323 16."Bridezilla from hell was mad if anyone didn't come to her wedding events or make her feel like she was the queen of all brides. Everything had to be perfect. She had a destination wedding and a huge at-home after-party that she spent yelling at everyone. 'Turn the music up louder!' 'It's time for this! It's time for that!' 'Look at me!' They are divorced." —rachway 17."The bride forgot to bring the groom's suit, so he wore the pastor's jacket and tie for the ceremony. The pastor was an Evangelical Christian and said some very sexist things off-script. Mind you, part of the ceremony involved a few very PAGAN practices. In her speech, the grandmother went off the rails and talked about ancient aliens. Then, when she got back on track with her speech, she talked about, 'How could a man love a woman as she ages? What about when her breasts sag? Or when her bottom becomes flat? When she has wrinkles under her eyes and her hair is thin?' and went on about how much of a sacrifice the man makes when he marries a woman. A sister ranted about Covid being a scam." "There was an EXTREMELY sexist skit with the brothers of the bride demanding payment for her because 'Who will clean our house? Cook our food? Mend our clothes?' and the groom had to buy her with beer. The mother was upset that her goats couldn't be the ring bearers at the venue. This wedding was in LA about a month ago." —u/TheDirtSyndicate 18."The couple never showed up. Lol. We were all left in confusion after hours of waiting." —u/Head-Queeen 19."I went to what I can only describe as a redneck wedding a few years ago. The groom was 24, and his bride-to-be was about 42 with two kids over 18. So, it was a weird dynamic to begin with. The ceremony was at a public park under a gazebo. The groom's parents were visibly not down with the wedding. It was hot as hell, and there was enough food for maybe 30% of the guests. We were told the reception was at the local Elks Lodge, which, while not very extravagant, at least had a bar and reception hall. Those were not rented out, however. They just had the pool. So you had the usual very old, very intoxicated clientele of a rural Elk's Lodge who were doing their thing, and then four people (bride, groom, and two of their friends) down in the pool, all passing around a bottle of Jack. I left immediately, and they got divorced six months later." —u/atlsportsburner 20."The bride and groom were both barely 19 years old! I went to their reception at a nice venue. Inside, there were round tables, and only half had tablecloths. The decorations were almost nonexistent. People came in, put their gifts on a table, and got in line for food (which was water with no lemon and store-bought cookies). That's it! The bride's father was the DJ and did an AWFUL job! The entertainment was the bride and groom sitting on chairs back to back holding up their shoes, answering questions, and the bride's five aunts singing ABBA (I'm not kidding)! They did cut the cake, but there wasn't any to serve! They had dancing and that was it! It was like being at the worst high school dance ever! We finally left and went to Red Robin nearby because my mother is diabetic!" —youngsquid41 21."I went to a wedding where the family made the cake. No big deal. However, it also tasted like cigarettes." —sassypete77 22."It was at a Mormon church, and for some reason, Mormon churches have indoor basketball courts in them. Half of the court was a wedding reception, and the other half was a pickup basketball game played by strangers who wouldn't leave. The ball hit the food table a couple of times." —u/TheThalmorEmbassy 23."I went to a dry wedding. That's not just a description of the drink situation but the entire affair in general. It was in a tent, in summer, in the south. The dress code specified that men had to wear jackets during the ceremony. Women couldn't have 'overly exposed' shoulders or low cuts. Linen was not allowed. The ceremony took about two hours and included multiple speeches by the bride, groom, and the minister. Both fathers sang gospels. The best man played acoustic guitar for about 10 minutes. The guests had to reconfigure the tent after the ceremony for the reception while the wedding party took photos. We found out there were assigned seats when the wedding planner went table to table and called out who was to sit where. We would be released to the buffet by the bride/groom, table by table. They stopped to chat at every table, take pics, etc." "There was no dancing. The location was by a lake with a dock and patio area down by the water. We were to stay in the tent. More speeches were given. The bride and groom paused, releasing people to eat for each speech. The sweet tea was weak. The bride's father gave a long speech in which he only mentioned his daughter twice, and both times were about giving his son-in-law healthy baby boys. The best man played guitar again. The cake was in the sun. The buffet had dry BBQ that the groom and his new father-in-law had smoked the day before. All brisket. The sides were just mac 'n' cheese and salad. I left between when my table got released for food and the cake cutting, partially because I was starving, partially because I had 100% sweat through my entire suit, and partially because I'd arrived six hours ago. My +1 (a family friend) and I went with my mom to an Applebee's or something nearby. At least a dozen of the tables had other guests we recognized. I swear I saw a woman cry when they brought her a margarita. We heard that the reception continued late into the evening, including the bride and groom asking the (remaining) guests to all share a memory they had with them. They spelled my name wrong on the thank you card." —u/NoahtheRed 24."The maid of honor gave a truly atrocious 25-minute-long speech before dinner. She was obviously super drunk and was rambling so badly. She used the speech to talk about her own mental health journey at one point, and THEN she finished the speech by inviting her husband on stage with her (he seemed like a total douche, too, by the way) and said: 'For those of you who don't know, today is actually our anniversary!' Then they both started making an awful and way-too-long speech all about themselves. It killed the vibe of the entire wedding." —u/Zestyclose_Airline_6 25."My wife and I got dragged to her friend's mother's wedding. I think it was her third marriage. Other than it being super awkward, it went off without a hitch. It was awkward because the son of the bride was involved in the murder of the groom's nephew. He went with some friends to buy drugs, but it turned out they didn't have any intention of paying for them. The bride's son was at the wedding. He was charged with murder and pleaded down to something that got him multiple years probation." —u/my_sexy_fantasiez 26."The entire wedding was extremely dysfunctional and seemed like it hadn't been thought through at all. At one point during the ceremony, someone's phone rang very loudly, which was shocking enough by itself, but you should've seen everyone's face when he answered, 'Hello?!' and quite literally continued to have a conversation." —u/Acrobatic-Midnight28 27."We were invited to the reception but not the ceremony. When we arrived, it was as if the reception had already been happening for a few hours. The bride seemed surprised we were there. We grabbed our gift off the table and left." —u/PrivateTumbleweed 28."I attended a wedding where the bride's ex showed up uninvited and caused a scene during the ceremony. He argued with guests, tried to talk to the bride during her vows, and eventually had to be escorted out by security. It was incredibly awkward and disrupted what should have been a joyful day. Definitely a wedding I'll never forget!" —u/FitFataleUSA1 29."The groom walked down the aisle visibly drunk, and the reception had to start late so he could finish throwing up." —u/via_cee 30."I was at a wedding where the pastor didn't remember to tell people to sit. We stood through the entire wedding ceremony. It was so irritating. I couldn't see a thing." —happy30 31."I went to one where the ceremony was in a rural tiny church with no AC in mid-July, and they did a full ceremony with kids screaming throughout. The reception was at a falling-down VFW hall with no decorations and half the lights out. They only got a keg, and it ran out before dinner. They ran out of food before everyone was served. The DJ was trying to use Spotify, and there was no Internet connection, so we'd get a few minutes of music and then it would cut out again (which happened multiple times during their first dance). Yikes." —lizmarie123 32."It was a wedding where the bride and groom lived far away from their families, and everyone (including me) had to fly in. The mother-in-law wasn't too happy with her son marrying the bride. The wedding went pretty well, and the reception was going okay, but the MIL had a stank face and was audibly complaining. Then, during speeches, the bride and groom thanked people who helped with the setup, decorations, etc. The MIL was mad that she wasn't thanked for some reason. She ended up causing a major scene where she physically attacked her son while screaming at the bride and groom. Her entire side of the family left the wedding reception, which was half of the people there. Overall, the people who were left made the most of it, but the bride and groom were visibly shaken and left shortly after. They ended up getting a divorce a few years later." —u/Silent_Beautiful_738 33."The cocktail hour lasted almost three hours, with the only snacks being oysters, so most people were hammered and starving at the end of those three hours. No big deal. Then, after we were seated for dinner, every table took turns going up and serving themselves buffet style. By the time it was our table's turn, all the dinner was gone from the serving trays. Three or four tables were left with nothing. It was so awkward, and we were so damn hungry. The wedding was on this little island in Washington that we were shuttled onto, so there wasn't any way we could leave to get our own food. The caterers went to a restaurant in town and brought in pasta dishes about two hours later, but it was too late by then." —u/Gooseygoo242 34."This was in the early 2000s. The attendants were responsible for the buffet meal, refilling serving platters, selling drinks at the bar, etc. The food was all straight out of cans and grocery store containers — totally budget-friendly. No problem, just not typical. Then, the bride and groom had a dollar dance and made a big deal by shaking people down for $20s and no smaller bills. Before the dancing was allowed to start, the attendants were all sent among the guests to sell 50-50 tickets to benefit the bride and groom. The winner of the 50-50 was pressured into donating their half (over $2,000) back to the newlyweds. So, there was a full-on fundraiser vibe all afternoon and evening. The bridal party took turns playing music from their phones since the couple wouldn't pay for a DJ. The couple divorced within nine months." —u/twink1813 35."Southern Indiana. Church wedding. VFW hall for reception. More than half the people showed up in sweats and jeans, except for our friends from the big city and the bridal party. The food was cafeteria-style and served by women wearing plastic gloves. The pony keg went dry after an hour. It's a dry county on Sundays, so we had to drive one county over to restock for everyone. It was the worst wedding I've ever been to, and I've been to one where the bride and groom parachuted down from an airplane to the reception." —jjgirly "It was in the middle of nowhere, held at a 'country club,' which I don't think had ever hosted an event of any kind. There was one motel in the town, and no rooms were left. So we planned to drive for four hours, see the wedding, and leave when they got to the part of the reception where the dancing and partying had started. We arrived and went in, and there was hardly anyone there. We went to where they were having the ceremony in some courtyard, and the chairs were all blowing away. There were some staff trying to chase them down. There must have been a couple of hundred chairs, and there couldn't have been more than 20 or 30 of us. I kept thinking, 'Who rented all those rooms?'" "We sat and were almost amused in a horrified kind of way. But no one else showed up, and the start time came and went uncomfortably without anyone but the few guests showing up. Turns out there was no wedding. Someone cheated on someone the night before, and there was a big fight that morning. I never really learned the details. Someone from the venue finally came out and said sorry super awkwardly and that we should go home because the entire thing was being canceled." —u/Billbapaparazzi What's the wildest or worst wedding you've ever attended?
