Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet

Veterans reported to camp on July 19, and if the Bears are going to add another body on the line to help take some pressure off Montez Sweat, it'll likely be soon. Bears general manager Ryan Poles met with the media on Friday and fielded questions about that very topic. "Our mindset's always: How can we make a position group the best we can possibly make it and as deep as we possibly can make it?" Poles said, also citing defensive line coach Travis Smith and first-year defensive coordinator Eric Washington as key contributors to the players' development this coming season.
