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

NASA Astronaut shows how he wears pants in Space: ‘two legs at a time’
Astronauts have a unique way of getting dressed in space. In a fascinating video posted on February 21, NASA chemical engineer, Don Pettit, demonstrated how he puts on his pants aboard the International Space Station. Instead of the traditional one-leg-at-a-time approach, Mr Pettit descended into his floating trousers, essentially jumping into them with both legs at once.
He simply captioned the video, “Two legs at a time.”
The lighthearted video delighted viewers, prompting a flurry of comments and reactions from users who enjoyed the humorous glimpse into life in space. One user wrote, “I thought you were going to land right in them at first. Haha. That might be fun to try.”
Another joked, “This is the real content that I needed! I attempted to recreate this on Earth and well.it didn’t go well.”
A third said, “Missed opportunity to not have the theme from Space Odyssey 2001 playing for this.” A fourth added, “Such a pro! Well done.”

Company threatens to fire employees …..if they don’t get married and have children
A company based in China’s Shandong province caught the attention of government officials after it threatened to fire its single and divorced employees if they remained single by the end of September.
According to a report in South China Morning Post, Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group Co. Ltd., issued a notice to its 1,200-odd employees, emphasising that they work well and establish families.
The notice required single employees aged 28-58, including those divorced, to get married and settle down by the end of September this year. Those who do not by the end of March need to write a self-criticism letter. If they do not get married by the end of June, the company will conduct an “evaluation” of them. If they are still single by the end of September, they will be fired.
The company said the move was intended to promote the spirit and cultural values of “diligence, kindness, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness”.
As the news went viral, Chinese social media users slammed the decision, stating the company was violating several laws.
“Corporate rules should not override laws or social morals,” one user commented, while others pointed out that the Chinese marriage law guarantees freedom of marriage.
“This crazy company should mind its own business and stay away from the personal lives of employees.”
