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. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Good morning everyone. The Northeast is enjoying some fine summer weather as high pressure dominates, and that pesky stationary front is now well to your south. Things are looking very warm to hot, with low humidity until Monday. That's when the juice returns and you'll have a chance of a PM T-storm each day. Until then, enjoy this break because I feel it's going to be a busy 1st and 2nd week of August.

As the U.S. sizzles under sweltering summer heat, those hoping for a cool fall may be out of luck. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center released its latest three-month outlook for August, September and October. The prediction shows above-average temperatures are expected in almost every state through the end of the summer and start of the fall. The Northeast and several states in the West, including Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming, all have particularly high chances — 60-70% — of experiencing temperatures that are hotter than usual for those three months.

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
