How we domesticated cats

Many of us have little feline friends sarcastically strolling around our homes. They lay here or lay there, knock stuff off ledges, climb in empty boxes, or just look at you like a teenager who just heard their mom say âon fleek.â But, these beautiful creatures have been living with humans for longer than you might think. So how did this happen? The history of domesticated cats is, dare I say, the catâs pajamas.

Finding Bigfoot: Sasquatch taken from Florida mattress store

If youâve seen Bigfoot recently, Florida police want to hear from you. No, not that Bigfoot. This involves an 8-foot, 300-pound statue that was stolen from outside a Boynton Beach, Florida mattress store between Oct. 6 and Oct. 13. Apparently, store owners didnât realize the massive statue of a Sasquatch was missing until Oct. 20 because of all the other Halloween decorations they had placed outside. Either way, this crime would have taken more than one Bigfoot-napper due to its sheer size and weight â â and it probably wasn't the easiest thing to hide. The statue is valued at about $3,000. Unfortunately, police say there isnât any kind of video surveillance of the theft.

It looks like the trend continues that no one seems to have a camera handy when Bigfoot is involved.

Cameras can be used for more than just catching BigFoot. Check out how this neighborhood teamed up to catch criminals. â
