The tom cat Augustus, also known as Gus Gus the CatBus, is a grey and white Kitty and he rests on a hoodie under a piece of kitchen furniture with some cat nip and toys in an undated photo. He looks at the camera seriously, but he’s really a silly clowny dude. He’s fathered one kitten and we’re determined that’s all he’ll ever get to do. He’s been captured for fixing and vaccination tomorrow morning.

Sis captured the tom cat, Gus Gus the CatBus tonight! Tomorrow morning he’s off for fixing/vaxxing! Hooray! We love you, Gussy. It’s for the best, buddy, even though you’ve peed all over the floor. #tnr #colonycats #straycats #tomcats #wakecounty #nc #adoptdontshop

Oliver the flamepoint kitten stands proudly on the exam table at the vet’s office while a technician in blue scrubs combs him. His eyes are blue and his fur looks very white. His ears and nose are pink.

Oliver sleeps peacefully on a blue and white quilt. His back legs are tucked up under his face along with his faintly orange tail. He sleeps in front of a cherry wood dresser.

'This is why we walk': Monks brave snow, sleet while making way out of Wake County Was able to see them Friday evening! The "Walk For Peace" is a 2,300-mile procession of monks making their way from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C., where they are expected to conclude their journey in mid-February and ask Congress to recognize Buddha's day of birth as a federal holiday.

Despite snow and sleet, a group of monks began their journey out of Wake County, embodying their powerful message: "This is why we walk." Their dedication to their spiritual path shines brightly through every step! ❄️🙏 #MonkLife #SpiritualJourney #WakeCounty
