Tuxedo Kitten Meets Traumatized Rescue Cat—He Knows What To Do
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a heartwarming story that has gone viral on Reddit, two stray kitties have forged a bond that has melted hearts across the internet. A post shared on Sunday under the username u/LegitimateAdeptness features striking before-and-after pictures documenting the dramatic transformation of the once-frail calico cat, thanks to the love and support of her new kitty brother. "My baby girl was fragile and traumatized when we got her. A week later, the tux [tuxedo cat] found us and he healed her," the caption reads. The poster, Hasnain, told Newsweek that it all began on August 18, 2024 when they first got the calico cat, Momo. From left: Momo the calico cat rests; and her tuxedo brother, Apa, looks at the camera.

But, then, a friend who cares for strays around the neighborhood said they had found a kitten who was extremely frail and needed a home. "We jumped on the opportunity and brought Momo home," Hasnain said. "She was extremely frail; at 5 to 6 weeks, she was less than a kilo [2.2 pounds]. She had scabies all over her, but she was moving, pooping and eating herself, which was a big relief." But then, about a week later, something extraordinary happened, which changed the calico cat's life forever. "I was buying something from the corner shop, and our tux Apa found and attached to my leg," Hasnain said. "I remember bring him home with heart racing because I didn't know how my wife would react. But I couldn't leave him; he was so small. There were some hisses, but it took about a week or two for them to start playing with her." Screenshots of the viral posts show Momo and Apa living their best life, napping together.

Makes silly noises like an orca; slinks and walks like a Border collie; curls up in a ball to sleep like a fox," Hasnain said. PetMD says that, while cats have a reputation for being solitary animals, they are still social creatures and can bond with other animals, especially with other felines. But how do you know if your cat needs a companion? Some changes in behavior can give you a hint. These include extra clinginess, a change in grooming, eating or sleeping habits, destructive behavior, litter-tray issues, and a shift in energy. The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 9,500 upvotes and almost 100 comments on the platform. One user, Beginning_Garden_849, commented: "So happy they both found their way to you! Beautiful kitties!!!" IAmHerdingCatz posted: "Aww, she has an emotional support cat!" Rinibeanie added: "The poor little darling T_T So happy she found a loving family and a fellow tux to show her even more love and bring out the best in her."

Of Course ‘Dan Da Dan' Season 2's Big Okarun Evil Eye Fight Has a ‘JoJo' Anime Reference
Dan Da Dan's third episode is out now, marking the conclusion of GKids' limited theatrical compilation release, Evil Eye. While this means more new moments to come for anime fans to obsess over, Science Saru didn't leave fans empty-handed, finally showcasing Okarun and Evil Eye's long-awaited clash and a clever reference to popular long-running shonen anime, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, to add to its cool of the marketing leading up to the second season of Dan Da Dan emphasized the intense showdown between Okarun and his new friend, Jiji Enjoji. In the previous episode, Jiji, the class clown of the anime's expanding group of friends, spent a lot of time trying to prevent Okarun and Momo from harming each other. This chaos was triggered by a giant snake lurking beneath Jiji's family home—a snake that possesses the power to emit psychic waves, causing people to attempt to take their lives. During his perilous endeavor to save his friends, Jiji encounters a yokai known as Evil Eye. Much like season one's standout episode featuring Acrobat Silky, viewers see that Evil Eye is more than just a menacing adversary. After learning Evil Eye's tragically moving backstory, Jiji befriends the yokai, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. Similar to how Turbo Granny possessed Okarun, Jiji finds himself being body-snatched by Evil Eye. As a result, Jiji now sees Momo as an enemy. Just in time for the climax of episode two, Okarun makes a cool return, setting the stage for their battle in episode spare you the blow-by-blow play-by-play of their battle because there's absolutely no way we can do it justice. However, one climactic moment in their battle sees Okarun dig in deep and lay Evil Eye Jiji on his generous underwear-clad ass. After spending the majority of their fight on the back foot, Okarun manages to eke out a victory with a volley of double-fist uppercuts propelled very awkwardly by a series of lightning-fast leg crunches. While Okarun isn't wont to deliver one-liners, he rises to the triumphant occasion with one referencing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders protagonist Jotaro Kujo's climactic battle with DIO. Similar to Jotaro, Okarun tells his adversary—and ostensibly the audience—how he was able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It's all because Evil Eye made a grave mistake; he put his hands on Momo and pissed Okarun off. The line close to Jotaro's quote to DIO after his terror nearly killed his own grandfather. Given Okarun's Turbo Granny mode sees the teenager act not dissimilar to the stoic JJBA protagonist (down to his catchphrase, 'Good grief'), it's no wonder Okarun would tap into that cool guy persona to emphasize his decisive win over Evil Eye. The moment is made all the funnier when you take into account that Okarun, who at this point in the anime is roughly 17 years old, is somehow the same age as the towering JJBA protagonist. Guess they fed anime protagonists nothing but red meat and cigarettes back in the day. In an interview with AJ Beckles and Aleks Le, the English voice actors of Okarun and Jiji told io9 that their characters' clash was significant to them as it represented Okarun's first genuine battle. '[Okarun] has to dodge and punch, or whatever else, which he doesn't really know how to do. You get to see that bit of awkwardness, too, that he clearly doesn't know what he's doing versus Evil Eye, who seems so experienced in comparison,' Beckles told io9. 'It's interesting, and [Science Saru] did a great job of showing that.' This isn't the first time Jiji and Okarun's butting of heads (ostensibly over Momo) has yielded a deep-cut anime reference. Back in season one, an innocuous scene where the two boys sang and chanted at each other after vying for Momo's attention featured the pair singing the opening and ending theme song to the '90s-era basketball anime, Slam Dunk. Serendipitously, despite the love triangle leads in the Toei Animation series, Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa are not direct one-to-one spiritual predecessors to Okarun and Jiji in terms of personality; the basketball rivals do share similar hair colors, making their comparison somewhat apt. So glad they didn't skip nor change Okarun and Jiji singing the Slam Dunk ending and opening — Mobu☄️ (@Captain_Atomsk) December 19, 2024Given Dan Da Dan's propensity for referencing pop culture touchstones like Shin Godzilla and Ultraman, Science Saru's breakout hit anime is likely to have more kitschy Easter eggs in store for fans to appreciate the series all the more. For the time being, we can all take pride in witnessing its bully-whip-armed occult nerd, Okarun, delivering a cool guy line straight out of one of anime's most prolific cool guy series. New episodes of Dan Da Dan season two air every Thursday on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu. Want more io9 news?

Momma Cat Loses One of Her Four Kittens, Heartbreak at What She Does Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A young cat has captured hearts around the world after a bittersweet moment from her first birthing experience went viral online. Leo Ching Ling, 24, who documents life with her cat on TikTok under the handle @lifewithmolumolu, shared the emotional journey of her 1-year-old cat, Momo, who gave birth to four kittens on June 15. The video garnered more than 18,000 likes and over 187,000 views on Instagram. Ling said the pregnancy came as a shock. "It came as a surprise; we thought she would be due end of the week, but she suddenly found a random box and gave birth," she told Newsweek. Although they had prepared a cozy nest for Momo, she chose her own place to deliver. Ling wasn't home to witness the birth, but said that the labor began at around 6 p.m. A split image of Momo and her kittens.

Momo's transition into motherhood was filled with learning moments. "I think at first she was quite confused about how to feed the kittens milk, as she was always in an awkward position, like half-sitting down, so the kittens can drink from the front, but we tried adjusting her a bit so she could lie down comfortably to feed, and she got that quickly. By now, I think she's doing pretty well," Ling said. Tragically, the joy was soon followed by heartbreak. The following morning, the family discovered the lifeless body of the fourth kitten. "We thought her labor was over by around 10 p.m., since she was feeding her three kittens and even ate dinner herself. We watched her till around 12 and went to sleep. [We] woke up the next day to find the corpse of an orange kitten in the box, and Momo nowhere in sight. She found a new hiding spot in our bookshelf nearby with all her other kittens—we were super sad," Ling said. At first, Momo's response to the loss seemed muted. Ling said: "We thought she didn't feel much about it as she moved out of the box after losing the kitten, but later on, after settling the other kittens down, she actually came over and sat by the empty box for a while several times, just looking into space. We don't know how she feels or whether she knows, but she was definitely mourning for a while." The three surviving kittens are doing well, although their eyes have not yet opened. "We haven't named them yet, but there is a waitlist of people we know that wants to adopt them," said Ling. "So far so good! They were pretty weak at first but now all doing well," the owner added. Instagram users have been quick to offer their support and condolences in the comments. "Oh my gosh my cat just gave birth 2 days ago as well to 4 kittens and one of them just passed away this morning. Hope y'all are doing well," wrote one user. "Your babies are very proud of youuuuu, Momooo," posted another. "Stay strong mama Momo! Lots of love and kisses," a third user added. "GOOD JOB MOMO!!" wrote one commenter, celebrating her strength. "Bless them all beautiful angels. Am so sorry for your loss of 4th one," shared another. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
