I submitted my federal tax return at least a week before the mid-April deadline,

which was accepted the same day, and have still not received my refund. Anyone else?

Fancy Feast Recalls 1 Million Cans

That Cats Just Kind Of Stared At Before Wandering Away

Published:
April 25, 2025
ST. LOUIS—Apologizing to all customers who had received a defective product, pet food giant Fancy Feast issued a massive recall Friday for 1 million cans of food that cats just kind of stared at before wandering away. “Any cans of Fancy Feast Classic Paté, Grilled, or Gravy Lovers should be returned for a full refund due to an issue where cats sniff at them a few times and then leave without taking a single bite,” said a recall announcement on the company’s website, adding that cats would not even return to consume the affected cans later on, when they were meowing at their owners to indicate they were hungry. “We’ve received multiple reports that cats are giving the involved products blank, unimpressed looks despite the fact that they seemed to go nuts for the stuff just last week. Unfortunately, the problem appears to persist even after stirring in a few of those crispy salmon treats they love, since they’ll just pick out the treats and leave the rest behind.” Fancy Feast also recommended throwing out any cardboard boxes the cans had arrived in due to the risk of cats playing around in the containers instead of the enormous cat tree their owners dropped 200 bucks on.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

While law enforcement has been for many years dominated overwhelmingly by dogs, today the Albany Police Department is announcing a unique and innovative new program for cats. Purrtect and Serve (TM) will allow these highly-trained animals the chance to serve our community in the feline of duty.

After an exhaustive recruitment process that involved rigorous tests of agility, stealth, and a steely ability to stay focused around laser pointers and cans of tuna, these highly trained cats are ready to tackle crime with their particular set of skills. We’d like you to help us welcome to the first of these dedicated officers, FE-9 Whiskers, to the APD family.

FE-9 Whiskers comes to APD from SafeHaven. Looking for more than just a life of judgmental staring and emotional manipulation through cuddles, FE-9 Whiskers was ready to join the ranks of claw enforcement, with a special interest in furensics and purrsuits.

When off-shift, FE-9 Whiskers enjoys curling up in a sunny spot for a nap and snacks.

Welcome to APD and @City of Albany, Oregon , FE-9 Whiskers!

Any writers struggling with motivation

during this very dark time? If so, what do you do to stay with it? I feel like the world I’m writing about is on a the verge of collapse. If so, then why bother to finish my project that is set in current times?

Now it sounds like I’m whining. 😫. I need for somebody to tell me to snap out of it and get a grip.
