Angry Cat Trio Gangs Up on Mom Because Dinner Is ‘5 Minutes Late' and It's Priceless
Just about any cat parent will tell you that serving their furry little children dinner late, even if it is just by a few minutes, is a big no-no. Because the thing about cats is that when it comes to their dinnertime, they don't mess around.
As this video shows, our feline companions are not above letting us know when we have messed up. This cat mom certainly found that out the hard way.
As soon as she walked in the door, it was clear that she had violated the most important unspoken rule between cats and their humans: don't serve dinner late!
Three of her very agitated fur babies were waiting on the kitchen counter to greet her as she entered the room. It was clear that this cat trio was not okay.
No one spoke at first. This human likely did not want to upset her feline companions by making excuses, while these cats just stared her down like a couple of gangsters to let her know that she was in deep do-do for missing their dinnertime by five whole minutes.Eventually, the orange cat, who goes by the name of Peach, broke the silence. If you turn up the volume a bit, you can hear this sassy orange cat really laying it on, giving their human mama a good talking to.
After rightfully chastising her, this adorable little orange cat asks the questions that everyone has been wondering, 'Where have you been? Do you know what time it is? And most importantly of all, where is our dinner!?'
With all that being said, don't worry about these kitties too much because, as this other video shows, they are incredibly well fed.
They get to feast on special cat food from Turkey, cute custom candy-looking treats specially ordered from Japan, and they even get their own special Hello Kitty plates.
Of course, Peach disrupts her human mama while she is preparing her food with all kinds of rambunctious shenanigans. We're pretty sure that she stopped everything no less than 12 times.
That cat really knows what she wants, and when she wants something, she wants it now!

Marc Maron Reveals the Cost to Use a Taylor Swift Song — and the Mutual Celebrity Friend Who Helped Him Get Access
The comedian and podcaster used Swift's 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky' for his soon-to-be-released stand-up special Marc Maron said getting the rights to Taylor Swift's music doesn't come without a hefty price tag. The comedian and podcaster, 61, spent major dollars in order to use a specific song from the pop star's catalog for his upcoming stand-up special, he revealed on the July 25 episode of Vulture's Good One podcast. Licensing Swift's song 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky' — a bonus track on the 3am Edition of her 2022 album Midnights — cost about "$50,000," Maron said. He added that he felt he needed the specific track for a pivotal moment in his HBO special, Marc Maron: Panicked, so he reached out to a mutual friend, Jack Antonoff, for help. 'I know Jack Antonoff enough to text him — and he's the co-writer on that song,' Maron explained. 'I said, 'I don't know what's proper or how to do this, but we're running out of money on this thing. It's probably going to come out of my pocket. Is there anything you can do about this song or talk to Taylor?' ' Maron said Antonoff, 41, advised him to go through official music licensing channels, and he was ultimately able to get approval to use the track. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'It was doable,' Maron said, adding, however, that the tens of thousands of dollars only covered the use of one minute of the song. 'I would have gone over the minute, [but] it would have been more money,' he explained. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Maron said he doesn't know if Swift, 35, has heard the specific joke in the special that her team signed off on, but he was 'manifesting' that she would indeed like it if she did — for the sake of his project. 'It had to happen,' Maron said. 'The real fear [was], like, [if] she doesn't let you use it, and then what do you do? You can't do the bit on the special.' While Maron didn't reveal the content of the bit in question, he has spoken about Swift's music — and his journey to becoming a Swiftie — in the past. 'I'm an open-minded guy, and I like music. I [wanted] to try to figure out what it is about Taylor Swift that everyone never shuts up about," he said on a May 2023 episode of his long-running podcast, WTF with Marc Maron. Maron said he ended up listening to Swift's Midnights album on a hike, and he was impressed with what her heard. 'I'm like, 'Alright. I get it.' It's pop music, but it's not dance music [and] it's, sort of, emotional. There's a lot of longing and sadness and isolation and processing these overwhelming feelings of melancholy," he recalled. When previously discussing the new special, the comedian said, per Deadline, that he felt like 'this is the best work' he's ever done, adding, 'Everything came together." Maron's latest creative endeavor comes two years after his last HBO special, the critically acclaimed From Bleak to Dark, which explored grief and the experience of losing his partner, filmmaker Lynn Shelton, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Marc Maron: Panicked premieres on HBO on Friday, Aug. 1, at 8:00 p.m. EST. It will also be available to stream on HBO Max. Read the original article on People

Why Avatar: Seven Havens Is More Than Just A Franchise Spin-Off
Avatar: The Last Airbender first aired on Nickelodeon in 2005. Blending Western animation with influences from Japanese anime, no one could have predicted that a show with a 5:00 pm timeslot on Fridays would enjoy the longevity it has today, nearly 20 years after its original premiere. Now, with the recently announced Avatar: Seven Havens, Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios have teamed up again for a brand-new entry in the franchise. A Franchise's Resurgence During the height of 2020, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the first entry in the Avatar series, was added to Netflix for people around the world to stream. Fans of the show, many of whom hadn't seen it since they were children, sat down to reembark on the journey of Aang, the Avatar, and his friends as they battled to end a war that had devastated their world. In addition to veteran fans of the show, the streaming service introduced the story to an entirely new audience, and the show gained a level of popularity it hadn't experienced in years. Seemingly overnight, a franchise that had been steadily catering to its original fan base following the completion of Avatar's sequel series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, through books focusing on characters that had briefly appeared on the show and comics that continued Aang and his friends' story, became the new obsession of thousands of new fans. Unsurprisingly, Avatar rose to No.1 on Netflix. Due to the growing popularity and increasing demand for more stories set in the Avatar universe, Nickelodeon launched Avatar Studios in 2021, led by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators of the series. Through strategy, Nickelodeon was able to capitalize on both nostalgia and the brand's resurgence in the cultural zeitgeist. In addition to the graphic novels and books that were steadily being published before the studio's inception, a new film and now a new series were announced to keep fans captivated, allowing Paramount to continue to expand the IP across multiple platforms. Each iteration of the Avatar series features, you guessed it, the Avatar, who varies in each installment because the main character reincarnates into the individual whose journey we follow during that story. Seven Havens, which centers on the new Avatar, a young girl named Pavi, is the first series in the Avatar franchise to be created by Avatar Studios. Even though there are two other series supporting it, with The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, Seven Havens will serve as a test to see if the franchise can sustain its momentum. Building with Intent While fans were divided over the sequel series to The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, part of that division came from the franchise's original momentum slowing down because some fans couldn't connect with the new cast of characters, the mix of old and new audiences, and the constantly changing schedule for episode airings in the final season. Additionally, The Legend of Korra gained renewed attention when it was added to Netflix shortly after its parent series experienced increased success during the streaming era. With that in mind, Nickelodeon has the opportunity to reinforce Paramount+ as the only place to stream the episodes of Seven Havens once they air, since the Avatar series tends to have the most success when fans can watch the episodes in order and not at random like other episodes of non-storied serialized cartoon shows on Nickelodeon, such as SpongeBob SquarePants. What makes the Avatar series stand out from other franchises that have suffered from endless sequels and reboots, which tire out viewers, is that the Avatar franchise has a built-in system in its story that allows fans to expect more without it feeling like "too much.' Since each series is meant to introduce entirely new characters and expand the existing story and lore, fans don't need to watch characters and settings go through endless cycles. The series is designed to encourage viewers to return and see what happens next after the adventures of the previous cast, seen through the eyes of a new character. Not many franchises can do this without upsetting a significant part of their fan base, and that's part of what makes the Avatar franchise so unique. You go into each series expecting the cast you've grown familiar with to be in the background or absent from the story entirely. Avatar: Seven Havens, while a new chapter in the series, symbolizes new beginnings and an opportunity for Avatar Studios, Nickelodeon, and Paramount to show that the streaming success the franchise achieved in 2020 was more than just a milestone. It's a chance to prove to critics and fans alike that the same magic and storytelling they loved are proof that creators can produce content everyone can enjoy and connect with, if they are given the space to breathe and, who would've guessed it, create.

AMC's The Vampire Lestat Proves Prestige Can Be Niche And Loyal
With the recent announcement that the third season of Interview with the Vampire will be retitled The Vampire Lestat, taking its name from Anne Rice's second book in the Vampire Chronicles series, AMC has demonstrated that this change is both strategic and narrative. In the current era of streaming, AMC chooses to fully commit to its niche by focusing on its compelling and gothic-infused storytelling rather than on awards and an overwhelming volume of content. The latest installment in the series will focus on Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), who now takes over the narrative from his former lover Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), the main character and, occasionally, unreliable narrator of the first two seasons. This shift, which fans have been speculating about since the end of season 2, fits seamlessly into the already established canon, with character-driven stories that may not appeal to everyone, but are essential for the viewers who resonate with them. AMC, which is no stranger to turning books into shows and harnessing passionate fanbases like in The Walking Dead, continues this tradition with The Immortal Universe. This includes Interview with the Vampire, Mayfair Witches, and the upcoming Talamasca: The Secret Order, all based on late Anne Rice's books. This strategy responds to Netflix's market saturation and HBO's critically acclaimed blockbuster-style programming. Instead of targeting just a wider audience, AMC recognizes how much fans have craved the stories they have planned; they understand that fans want specificity. For example, when the first season of Interview With the Vampire aired, it received decent linear ratings. However, it still managed to break records on AMC+, with nearly 75% of streamers for the first episode being new subscribers to the platform. Then, in 2024, when the first season was added to Netflix, sign-ups for AMC+'s app nearly quadrupled as new fans of the show discovered that Netflix only had the first season, not the second, which was exclusively streaming on AMC+. This demonstrated that, while there are benefits to creating content that appeals to a broad audience, there is real staying power in developing stories that can only be told through a specific niche and perspective—namely, through co-dependent, emotionally immature vampires with undeniable physical appeal. Following the Netflix streams and the additional AMC+ sign-ups, the show now attracts 17.8 times the audience demand of an average series in the United States, ranking among the top 2.7% of shows at its peak. The series has received praise from fans and critics alike for its story, writing, and heartbreaking performances by Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, and, recently, Delainey Hayles for her portrayal of Claudia in the second season. Despite this, the show has yet to win an Emmy despite its nominations, unlike its competitors, such as Netflix, which has canceled many of its award-winning and fan-favorite shows, including The OA, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and Julie and The Phantoms. Too often, fans invest in a show with the lingering fear that it will be canceled after its first season, accompanied by the thought: 'If only more people had found it.' AMC counters this by emphasizing its strong writing, production, and actors. Recognizing that its story's niche might not lead to immediate success, the network commits to slow-burn growth, trusting that the audience will come if the story speaks for itself and stands on its own. Like the first two seasons of the show, The Vampire Lestat continues to follow the example set by prioritizing brand consistency. Lestat, a flamboyant, morally grey vampire rockstar, embodies everything that AMC knows its audience loves. They don't need to tone him or their other stories down to appeal to the masses; the numbers already prove their worth. And while prestige doesn't need to appeal to everyone, shows can succeed if they find a way to connect deeply with someone, and if the recent trailer of The Vampire Lestat is any indication, AMC is going all out to reinforce that commitment.
