Man Opens ‘cat garden’ for 200 cats
A man in India has established a home for cats named ”Cat Garden” spread across an area of 500 square yards.
Goswami, a custom house agent living in Gandhidham city in Kutch, established the ”Cat Garden” in 2017, which has over 200 cats now. He dedicated the cat house to his late sister who died in 1994.
“We celebrate the birthday of my late sister every year. One day a cat entered our house and ate her birthday cake. Since then, it has been staying with us. We believe that it is our sister who is staying with us in the form of the cat,” he said.
He further stated that his family started raising many cats since then and it was in 2017 that he established a cat house for them.
“There are showers and a mini theatre where the cats watch animal related shows in the evening. They are given food three times a day and we provide them with best brands of cat food,” Goswami said adding that the cat house was “opened for visitors four hours every Sunday with a minimal entry fees.” – ndtv.com

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

Ohio man’s dog license number earns him $50,000 lottery prize
An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
Sours said his winnings will go toward taking care of some bills and giving a boost to his savings account.
