Stray cat wanders into Russian zoo enclosure, befriends resident lynx
We've seen many stories about unusual animal friendships before. Now out of Russia, an unusual friendship between a calico cat and a lynx.
According to KFOR, the calico was just a stray looking for something to eat when she wandered into a lynx enclosure at the St. Petersburg Zoo in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Instead of attacking the intruder, the lynx took a liking to the little stray ... and they've been inseparable ever since.

Cat living in a Home Depot for 13 years, gets to stay
Bluffton - South Carolina - Thanks to the overwhelming support of strangers, Home Depot is still home for "Jules". The stray cat has been living in the home and garden centre of a Home Depot for the past 13 years. When news broke that the friendly cat, named Jules, was about to be evicted from her home, the story went national. Management's reason for the threatened eviction: the aging feline had been triggering security alarms at night.
"Being an animal lover, I'd get rid of management before I'd get rid of the cat," customer Nancy Bogenrief told WTOC. A petition was launched, begging the home-improvement chain to let Jules, the store's most beloved greeter to stay in the garden centre. "I've always liked having the cat in the store when I visit," Daniel Goodell, who started the petition, told the Charlotte Observer. "Jules was always friendly. Who would want to be yanked out of your home where you've lived your whole life?"
The overwhelming response in support of the cat — the petition received more than 1,800 signatures,and offers came in to adopt Jules and some local residents threatened to boycott the store — convinced the chain to let the cat stay indefinitely. "Unless someone can provide her a better home, she can stay," Catherine Woodling, the spokesperson, told the Charlotte Observer, adding that the retailer plans to find Depot a "healthier, safer environment" as he gets older.
