To be a true black cat, both of its parents need to have the black color gene.

That’s another reason why having a pet carrier can keep your dog or cat out of harm’s way.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Social distancing is changing how the world operates and animal shelters are no exception to the new order.

Jacksonville Humane Society is the only shelter in Clay and Duval Counties still taking in stray animals. If you want to help but can’t adopt or foster, JHS said it is accepting donations of all kinds moving forward.

The digital era has given us many examples of the uncanny valley, but 'Cats' is the first movie to entirely set up shop there." Currently, the film holds a 17% "Rotten" score on review site Rotten Tomatoes from 101 reviews, as of midday Thursday.

When the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway hit Cats first premiered, many viewers balked at the CGI transformations of the movie's actors into feline-human hybrids.

I'm sickened by this and would rather give to assist instead of dwelling on the negativity," one person posted on Facebook.

Rebel Wilson is loving all of the reactions to the first Cats trailer -- yes, even the bad ones!
