Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Cat 'Stealing' Kittens From Sister To Add to Own Litter Is So Heartwarming

If you have seen a video of a cat get spooked by a cucumber or go mad when they touch a piece of aluminum foil, you might get the impression they are not the most intelligent animals. This is far from the truth. Cats are very intelligent, exhibiting important signs of intelligence such as keen observation, problem solving and complex social behaviors. Not all cats are as intelligent as each other, but some breeds are considered smarter than others. It is not the most important factor, but some cat breeds have better memory, trainability and problem-solving abilities.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
