Q. My 11-year-old daughter desperately wants a cat. She's a good student and a responsible kid, and we're running out of reasons to say no. But her stepdad is allergic to cats, and her dad is making an issue of it. Any advice?
A. Yes, I do have advice: The adults need to stop fighting with one another and set a good example for the child. Or did you mean advice about getting a pet? Yes, I can help you there too.

While those with severe, potentially life-threatening allergies should probably not adopt a cat or dog, most people with mild to moderate allergies can tolerate life with these animals, even if their allergists would rather they didn't. Depending on how severe your husband's allergies are and how well controlled they can be by working with an allergist, it's possible to minimize the health impact of a cat.

What is it about tennis balls that has every single dog in the world so ensorceled? Is it physical factors like the texture of the felt or the smell of the rubber? Is it the need to please us, the masters, who throw the balls with the expectation that fetching will happen? Throw a tennis ball anywhere in the vicinity of a dog and that dog will become electrified.
Redditor THETUDOR illustrates that electricity perfectly with this photograph. Look at the wildness in their eyes, the joy, the all-consuming need to fetch.

Here's a pair that you wouldn't expect to see together. Both intimidating presences in the wild, it's not as if grizzlies and wolves are compatriots of the forest. But boundaries get broken through the innocence of childhood, so these two cubs became BFFs in captivity. It's cute to watch them play, but it's all bittersweet knowing their friendship could never last. Or could it? Watch and see.

OK, between that cat who crashed the EPL match and Ethan the dog's goalkeeping skills, we really think we've hit upon a soccer goldmine here. Seriously, someone get Sepp Blatter on the horn right now.

FIFA has tried a thousand different ways to make Americans care about
Well, it seems to us that the English Premier League has just stumbled on a new strategy. When this stray cat wandered onto the pitch in the middle of a match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, it certainly grabbed out attention. So, FIFA officials, why not make cats a regular part of soccer? Sure, you'd have to rewrite the laws of the game fairly drastically and almost certainly infuriate all the footie loyalists in every other nation in the world.
