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.

The Cincinnati Bengals have invested heavily in the wide receiver position the last two years via the NFL Draft. In 2023, the orange and black selected Charlie Jones in the fourth round from Purdue and then took Andrei Iosivas from Princeton in round six. This season, Cincinnati grabbed T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s protege Jermaine Burton from Alabama. The former Crimson Tide product has been as advertised and turning heads as Tyler Boyd’s replacement in the slot. Sophomores Jones and Iosivas have also had their moments catching passes from Joe Burrow in a multitude of formations. Let’s examine how the receiver room can help take this Bengals offense to the next level.
