Not necessary. In fact can be deleterious to the animal well-being. Cats, for example, like to curl up when sleeping. This *thing* may make the sleep uncomfortable. Stupid idea! Probably invented by somebody who knows nothing about animals or does not care.
The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore romano focuses today on the US bombing of a girls' school in Minab, Iran.
Tehran threatened “massive” attacks Friday on Iraqi Kurds if they helped Iranian Kurds attack
But Iraq’s Kurds tell @axios they just want to stay neutral & believe an invasion —pushed much more by Israel than the US— could be disastrous

Man JD has disappeared like an Ashley’s just opened.
No Catholic can support Trump’s war in Iran. It’s illegal, immoral, and a total affront to our faith.
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
Any go-to-war decision should have included an assessment of the risk that the target's allies would respond to an attack by coming to the defense of the target in a number of different ways. Trump dismissed any prospect of Russian or Chinese support for Iran. This may be imprudent.
Bernard LaFayette, who died Thursday, laid the foundations of the Selma, Alabama, campaign that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act. He was a Freedom Rider and helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. n.pr/4csIbWh
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Donald Trump’s complaints about Britain and European nations being “uncooperative” with his attack on Iran are ignorant and hollow when viewed against the light of 20th century history. #world #middle #east
They don't have any battle plans. They're 100% making this up as they go.
Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz isn't just keeping oil tankers from leaving, it's keeping everything else from coming in. Hegseth's burning through ordnance fast. How do you resupply two carrier groups without shipping?
During a White House event on college football, Trump mocked and shut down a question about Russia allegedly helping Iran target U.S. assets. “What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We’re talking about something else,” said Trump.
I came home before to find my wife listening to PBS News Hour, & the very first thing I heard was David Brooks talking about how we needed to stop Iran from “reconstituting” its nuclear weapons! How do you “reconstitute” something that was never constituted in the first place? 😡
Republicans, if any of you exist here, former Republicans, if you have Republican friends. This is for you.
You (or they) need to watch this. It’s important, and very clearly illustrates where we are in this moment.
Russia is helping Iran target American troops.

The idea that imperfect victims aren’t worth defending is much bigger than me, and is something I had to speak out about.
What kind of world does it create when only some of us are deemed worthy of institutional support and safety?
PM Meloni: Italy will not enter into a direct conflict against Iran. Our absolute priority is de-escalation and peace, not fueling a regional fire that would be devastating for everyone. The air bases on our territory are used for logistics and support, not as launch platforms for offensive actions
These allegations of child rape are horrific. They back up the story of Jane Doe, another 13-year-old victim.
The American courts, police, politicians and media know that the President of the United States is an accused child rapist and abuser.
Horrifying.
