fly

You may not have known this, but yes, cats can fly. No, we're kidding. They can hover though. The hover cat is an elusive creature, one that only appears in the most perfectly timed photo moments. 

The positions a hover cat may take vary. It may be a flying loaf, it may be a startled leap, it may be flying log, a mid-hunt jump, or a ballerina backflip. What we know for sure is that all of these hover cats are silly and hilarious, and we love them all! Silly cats are the best cats. But these cats - so concentrated on their tasks - are funnier and sillier than most. 

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary has deemed a rescued owl "too fat to fly" when it was brought in from a ditch and thought to be injured... turns out, the owl wasn't injured and simply too chonky to fly. 

The little owl, known as a Athene noctua, was examined by staff and they found it to be "simply extremely obese" and "unable to fly effectively" as a result of that. 

So even so the owl isn't injury, it's still good that it's at the sanctuary where they can regulate its diet and he it achieve a more "natural weight" and thus, able to fly once more. 

Good luck, little guy! We believe in you!
