SHOW ME THE STRAY Willow, a calico cat from Colorado who went missing about five years ago, was found on Wednesday on a Manhattan street. Willow, who has a microchip implant that allowed officials to track down her original owners, will soon be reunited with her family. It remains a mystery exactly how she got to New York City. “I’ll tell you the food’s much better here,” Calico was quoted as meowing. “The rats are to die for.” (Photo: Bebeto Matthews / AP via the New York Times)

A ginger cat nuzzles with a deer at Odessa Zoo, Ukraine. Photographer Vitaly Ktachsays: “I saw them when walking in the zoo with my camera and could not resist stopping to take pictures. The affectionate behaviour of the cat towards the young deer had myself and other visitors watching in disbelief. Evidently real love doesn’t know taboo. These animals don’t care about the opinion of others.”
